We were worried about not having fast passes. What we experienced was lines that moved constantly. A 20 minute wait in a constantly moving well themed queue felt like 10 minutes. 20 minutes in Rat felt like 40.

Two trips to Lauderdale by the Sea during the pandemic, no issues and we will be back. One trip to the Bahamas with no complaints. Covid can not be a excuse for everything. It rained, blame covid!

The conversations we had with and overheard from other guests at the Oasis pool at Poly were very negative. Almost everyone had been coming to Disney for decades, and had been looking forward to the 50th. All agreed it felt like the ball was dropped.

Key West is full of adults and drunks, but the rest of the Keys are full of family's renting houses. My work has me at many rentals or at houses next to rentals. I see them hanging out at the pool and on their boats. Spent 5 days at Atlantis, Bahamas this spring. That was busier than...

I have been at Disney for a week now. Resorts seem empty. Parks other than MK yesterday were empty. We are from the Florida Keys - Key West. Tourism has been busy for a year. This is not a travel issue, its a destination issue.

Storm will be closer to Bermuda than Orlando. I am in the Keys, will be at Disney all next week. We know how to watch storms, and the sites and models to trust. Sam does not have me concerned at all.

This is very scary.

Wow. I will be there the 26th - 3rd, the 50th. We are early risers. 7am to get a boarding group was always no problem. Real early rope drops for FOP were bad. An uncivilized mob, stressful, borderline unsafe. But, that is what it take to ride. Rise will be a stampede. I am 52 years...

The vax honor system is brilliant. If you got the vax, it's up to you if you still want to wear a mask. Now, the red hat anti vaxer has a very serious dilemma. Lie and say they were vaxed, and then they don't have to wear a mask? Nope. Being anti vax, pro freedom is their identity...

I am in the Florida Keys, and have had 2 doses of the vaccine. Monroe County has dropped the mask mandate. Went to the Grocery store and hardware store today. Brought a mask with me, and wondered if I would need it. Hardware store, no more sign out front, when I entered backless, no one said...

I do not believe those numbers. 55% decrease in hotel rooms? Our hotels in the Keys were closed for 2 months. It's still dead in Key West. Close to 6 months of no cruise ships. That's about 500,000 people. Most coming from Florida ports, and none of them booked hotels at the beginning of...

Haha. We have a rule. Vacation does not start until we are both "satisfied". Funny how the artists name was blocked out. JoSH AGle. Cause it's the British F word?

We have reservations for the 50th. A few days at CB and then a few days at Poly. My wife and I stopped at Disney for one night on our honeymoon, it was also the 25th. At this point all I need to be satisfied on the 50th is being able to see the fireworks from the Poly beach, half drunk from...

As long as there is no bridge connecting the Keys to Miami, the Conch Republic approves.

Here in Key West, tourism is dead. Lots of bars closed, almost every big event was canceled. Just like WDW, who wants to go on vacation to a place that is only a fraction of what it was. My family really wants to go somewhere, but we don't want to fly, and the idea of a long space mountain...
