YEAH! keep it coming...we will be back to normal in no time at this rate. Holding out hope for the 50th to be a proper, normal celebration!

I'm sure this is somewhere else, but can anyone report if they have resumed proper preshows for the likes of Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Haunted Mansion? And if not, do we have an estimate on when they might?

realistically, most lines have not really conformed to 6 feet anyway, but now maybe the quees will allow caseys and columbia harbour house to re-open

No body listens to me...

Didn't think this would happen, but makes sense.

Once Universal did it it was inevitable. Disney had this planned already, but are doing staggered announcements (they announced the temp check thing last week and this was already in the cards, just unannounced).

There likely will be more announcements coming, intentionally staggered (but already planned).

Now we are seeing why they are testing fireworks.

Great news! Since they are following Orange County guidelines for distance, this makes me hopeful that they will for outdoor masking. Mayor Demings said he believed the county would reach 50% with at least one dose this week, which would drop the outdoor mask mandates. Where can we see if this happens or not? (Orange County reaching 50% with one dose). Thanks in advance! We arrive on May 30th!

I'm surprised at how cautious this is. Phasing it in over weeks? Seems pointless since we all know guests are going to largely ignore it anyway.

Disney is always cautious, and I think that is a good thing.

It’s a big resort and will take time. You won’t come in and see Pirates half done but might find Adventureland was done last night but not Frontierland.

They will update mask guidance but not THAT soon, I’m afraid.

By the 50th?

By the 50th?

Far sooner.

Far sooner.

Sweet! All I want for my trip is no outdoor mask requirements and nighttime spectaculars. Sounds like I might get it!

I’d bet money on it.

Great news, I am really starting to think my end of Aug trip is going to be more normalized than I am expecting.

 

[buckeyegator]

are they still using counters to allow people in gift shops?

as a person who has had covid and is vaccinated i have zero problems with a business being cautious on this issue

Good News! One step at a time!!!


I do wish they would relax indoor capacities so more people could be inside stores at the same time. However, I can't help but smile .

Good. Anyone who wants a vaccine at this point is able to get one. There is no need to have any restrictions.
