Or the family of four is spread out across the sidewalk but each person is two paces off each other so they're in a zig-zag formation taking up the entire sidewalk.

Husband and I canceled our trip last night. Originally booked for December 7 to 10. Several reasons, biggest is that my mom is nominated to be the person inducted into the "Hall of Fame" this year in the county where I grew up. And just coincidentally the banquet will be on one of the nights we...

I got my Pfizer booster yesterday at a CVS and my husband got his Moderna at another CVS -- across the street from each other (LOL), one in a Target -- and at both the pharmacist asked us to wait 15 minutes "if you have the time". I waited the full 15 and then walked around the Target shopping...

Husband and I are returning in December after about 5 years with no WDW vacation. Before we went every year from 2004 to 2016. To give ourselves the best chance to ride RotR and Toy Story, I'll use Genie+ and LL. We're not rope-droppers but we stay for Evening EMH if they're available. I don't...

Have a magical vacation! My husband and I will be there Dec 7 to 10 for an anniversary vacation, and in MK the same day as you. 🙋‍♀️ We've been in December once before and really enjoyed the holiday theme, plus got lucky with good weather.

Husband and I went to a CVS in DC a couple of weeks ago for our flu shots and they would have given us the booster shot if we'd wanted it, no specific questions to check if we qualified to take it at that time. I didn't like the idea of both shots in one day so we made an appointment for our...

I agree with you, however, what most of us are objecting to is not the portion size decrease but the decrease plus the stupid comment. Portion sizes are large, and I'd be surprised if they shrank so much that people would still be hungry after a meal in the park. My husband and I always split...

I've been pleased to read the Shooting Gallery is still in operation (and now is free) as I recalled reading that it would be taken out. On our last visit I was the only one shooting and (forgive me a little brag here) I was hitting all the targets. I had the place lit up! So the CM attending...

Thanks! I'll look for your report. We're going at a traditionally "light" crowd time, as we always do, yet somehow I anticipate it will be more crowded than expected, and due to new Genie+ and LL, Covid closures and changes, a lot more stressful. We don't go to WDW to stress.

I'm starting to feel the same about our (husband and I) short trip in early December. Waiting until December 1 because by then we will have learned if a previously unexpected family-member event will happen on one of the nights of our trip. If so, we'll definitely cancel/postpone our (completely...

I feel much the same. My husband and I are making a short mid-week trip in early December. I could almost skip the parks and just enjoy the resort, pools, spa, restaurants, Boardwalk, and Disney Springs. I did that once on a solo trip and went only to DHS for one afternoon and evening of my...

Are the parks still at lowered entrance capacity? We expect our visit in early December will be a bit busier than in previous years, and we're also wondering how many international WDW fans will jump to visit in December because U.S. borders are re-opening.

If you have Marriott Bonvoy reward points perhaps you can use them for free nights at the Swan or Dolphin, which are Marriott properties and quasi-Disney. They have Disney decor and also park transportation, and as Magicmom203 said, you get the early entry perk. I'm not sure about the late-night...

Husband and I have visited during the slow times of the year and loved Evening EMH because often the parks were a ghost town, especially when they stayed open until 11:00 or midnight.

My husband and I have stayed at the Dolphin many times and the Swan a couple of times. Haven't been there since 2017 so not sure how things are going as far as service, house cleaning, restaurants, etc. due to the pandemic. I believe the Dolphin has had a nice refurb since we were there last. I...
