    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    You might as well go ahead and cancel. It's a 3 week minimum at the Orange level before they can move down to Yellow, and Orange County is still a couple of weeks away (even in the best case scenario) from getting down to Orange level.

    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    This. This. This. This. This! They are going to allow the SF 49ers to have 14,000 fans in their stadium, which is a significantly smaller and less socially distanced footprint than 15,000 people in Disneyland Park for one day. I'd feel 1000x safer being in Disneyland Park with the safety...

    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    However in this situation, we are not talking about eliminating precautions. We are talking about opening with certain precautions that have been proven effective in multiple nearly identical situations in other states and countries.

    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    Also keep in mind those rules laid out say that only outdoor areas and attractions can be opened. Think about how few attractions are actually outdoors. In DLP, that's really only Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Gadgets Go Coaster, Dumbo, Astro Orbiter, and Autopia. In DCA, Pixar Pier minus...

    Splash Mountain...don't want to get soaked

    Right front is the only spot you truly want to avoid. There are a few "cheap shots" at that spot, namely rocks where the wave of water in front of the boat gets splashed back at you after the first fall. Everyone on the right side is at risk from the cannon as you pass by the big drop, and the...

    Empty Attraction Experiences

    Once when I was young we were on Splash Mountain at the end of the day. My sister and I rode 3 straight times and the CMs did not make us leave the boat since there was no one in line. In 2013, rode Pirates by myself on the boat. Got through the queue at 10:59 before an 11pm closing. It was...

    Expedition Everest...How bad is it?

    If you can do EE, you can probably handle RnR. You should definitely give it a try. The launch may freak you out a little, but if you sit toward the back on RnR, you can see the loops coming and not be blindsided. (Or be like me and get so into the music that you find yourself singing along and...

    Expedition Everest...How bad is it?

    To me, EE is by far the most intense coaster at WDW, but definitely not "scary." Usually it takes me about 10-15 seconds to work off my sea-legs after riding, but then I could go again. The backward portion does disorient you a little. RnR is great. The launch will throw you back in the seat...

    Proposal Advice

    We did ours on the beach around dusk by the Polynesian. Accomplished goals of not being too cliche and being private. (She is also a beach lover...) After the proposal, we went to the Magic Kingdom, took some re-enactment pics (which many people took pictures of and thought was real, we were...

    I got a "Yes!" 9/4

    Thought I'd share my story. For full disclosures, my fiance loves animals (she's on the board of directors for a local wildlife rehabilitation center), and her favorite park is clearly Animal Kingdom. Also, her favorite characters are Chip & Dale and Donald. We also joke that she knew when I was...
