Then have stamps of Remy in countries you waited in an extended line. Remy in Japan, Remy in Germany, Remy in Mexico ... Remy in space ... Remy on a parking lot tram.

Do we know if Ratatouille is using a virtual queue or traditional queue. Going vitual could help even out park passes by getting people to book EPCOT as first reservation instead of making it a planned hopper park, a step to smooth reservations across parks.

I have heard virtual but obvi not a guarantee

I believe that was abandoned. They didn’t use one for MMRR.

I don't know if you been to WDW during the pandemic if you haven't you'll be amazed at how long the lines get due to the social distancing. I'm not joking when I say it might go around the whole world showcase. I like your stamp idea.

I haven't heard anything about a virtual queue. I have mixed feelings about those. Getting one for ROTR adds a level of stress to the trip.

Lately, the social distancing in lines has dropped off a good bit since the fall winter times. It is getting down to little or none in some cases.

Record air travel numbers from yesterday 1.57 million. (up 775% from same day last year - @GoofGoof ). Still down of course from the usual 2.5M but airports are showing signs of life again. Especially considering business travel is traditionally around 20% or it is not really happening now. Accounting for lack of business travel, leisure travel is up to 80% of previous levels if not a bit more. Also very little international travel. Doesn't look like it will drop below 1 million a day again.

CDC won't be happy about that.

CDC now stating travel is low risk for vaccinated people.

Also all parks made the usual hours extensions, through late April.

Walt Disney World theme park operating hours extended from April 18

All four parks see extended hours for late April 2021.

I guess for the people that need the CDC to tell them what to do that's good news.

It is significant if you aren’t an American, certainly.

So you're saying it's not significant if you are American?

Let's hope this extends into May

I'd rather listen to the CDC than an elected official.

Only the ones that “that need the CDC to tell them what to do,” as you say. Domestic travel was already allowed. Personally, I’m happy to not have to worry about someone travel-shaming me.

International travelers have their own rules from their own countries. It may not affect their ability to come here. The only travel shamers I’ve encountered are on this forum. Social media is a free for all.

It does affect our ability to visit. We (international travelers), have to abide by both sets of rules, the ones from our country of origin, and those from the country we want to visit.

I don't need the CDC to tell me what to do.

I have my own mult-billion dollar lab and tens of thousands of unwitting test subjects to help me judge the dangers of whatever contagion is out there and the efficacy of proposed vaccines and safety measures. I've determined that all on my own.

My state has never had quarantine rules, but it still doesn't mean I can travel to another country. Until restrictions are lifted everywhere it going to make international travel difficult.
As far as the international trips I have planned it hasn't changed anything for me. I'm still doubtful they will happen this year.
It would be good for WDW if international travel was possible.

Our borders remained closed for six months (March-Sept 2020). We can travel international now, as long as we comply with both local and foreign destination requirements.

Worldwide conditions need to improve for international travel to become available for everybody. Hopefully, soon.

I'm waiting for Japan to open up. I have a trip planned in December and then hopefully a river or Baltic cruise in Europe next year. It looks like DCL is going to start sailing out of the UK this Summer since the CDC won't allow cruises here.

It also looks like the DCL cruises will be for UK residents only.

Yes that is what they announced. I believe Royal is going to attempt to sail out of the Bahamas and St Martin, and that will be open to Americans.
