Disney management tends to tune out guest complaints about policy, so unfortunately I don't see them going back to the more convenient method they used after reopening if they find the standard drill more convenient for themselves.It just is not necessary anymore. There is still Covid on board cruise ships, Disney is no exception. Why purposefully cluster people together? There was such an outcry from NCL cruisers to change back to the online muster drill, it happened, and fairly quickly.
All people need to know is where to go in an emergency, and to take their floatation device. Go to your muster location immediately with your device, then follow directions. It's really simple and not something people need to line up and stand around for to be able to process. In a real emergency, many people would be panicking and the best they would be able to do is show up at a muster station and follow orders, anyway. Half of them probably won't bring their floatation device at all.
If the current muster drill made guests bring and practice putting on their floatation device, that might be worthwhile, but it doesn't include that, so it's no better than just making guests find their stations and click on a QR code.
Half of the guests can't even see the CM modeling putting on the device while standing in crowded lines on the deck, anyway. At my drill last week, they crammed everyone tightly together ("get shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you, shoulder to shoulder") and I was in the back, unable to see anything. The virtual muster drill where you get a clear image of what to do via the TV screen is more instructive.
