Wearing them does not bother me, but they are an indicator that things are still not "back to normal". If they're still around in 2021, it's likely the parks are still not ramped back up with shows, live performers, character M&Gs, etc.

For me, the street performances are so much of what make Disney magical. Even if you're unaware of the performers, when you're walking around and come across a performance, it feels so alive and festive. I've got real concerns about them returning, but I am reserving some hope. Maybe not...

My father is retiring (for a second time) near the end of this year. For years, he's been talking about wanting to go with us on a WDW trip to celebrate and now the time is upon us. We are planning the trip for late January/early February 2022. Once packages were released, I started thinking...

I love the charm of Tom Sawyer Island. What I don't love is that I have to backtrack from BTMRR to get back to any other part of the park. Maybe it's because I've done it with sore feet or in the hottest part of the day and have this traumatic association, but I always find myself frustrated...

I have two. For me personally, Launchpad McQuack. He was over the top, hilarious, danced with my wife, just so memorable. I also saw Chip interacting with a small child early one morning near City Hall in Disneyland. He was on the ground sitting and reading her book with her. Crowd was low and...

😂 That's quite accurate. We'd never ridden prior, but had been on Grizzly at DCA. Hadn't heard wonderful things about Kali, but it was almost park close, we were nearby, and were trying to leave a little late so that we avoided some of the crowding at end of day bus lines since that's where we'd...

We rode Kali 3 times in a row in our own tube at the end of the day. They just asked if we wanted to stay on and go again, so we said yes twice. Quite the experience.

I corrected. It was POTC, not Navi.

You're correct. I believe the first time was in POTC, not Navi.

I agree. It's impossible to police every queue and every common space in the park. BTMR is a great example of where I saw crowding and masks coming off in line. You just can't station cast there. There were times cast members could have done more, but they're trying to toe a fine line and not...

Just returned from 6 days. MK for 3. AK for 1. HS for 2. Mask compliance was high 99%+, but people also broke rules at some of the worst possible times. Masks off in queues with no cast members around, since they couldn't be seen. On dark rides in enclosed spaces (people in front of us on our...

I've heard lots of complaints about the breakfast at BoG, but I found it rather enjoyable. Can't say the same for any meal at Cosmic Ray's. The BoG breakfast was stupid expensive, though a great use of a QS credit. If paying out of pocket, I saw it more as a $15 meal with a $15 surcharge to skip...

Sidebar: I posted this story once before somewhere on these forums, but whatever. My "first" Disney trip was a single day in 2017 to Disneyland Park. Wife and I had both gone to WDW as small children but neither had any real memories of our trip. Both had divorced parents without much income, so...

If you're basing it on these forums and Facebook, you're getting a very skewed perspective. Loudest, most aggressive voices may not be the majority.

No issues here, either. I checked back later in the day and I didn't see anything unavailable (though I did not look at Epcot). Between out-of-pocket prices, character dining being gone (especially Tusker House), losing the "free" dining plan, BOG going to prix fixe only, and limited park hours...

Assuming they open, I'll be at DHS on the 15 & 16 and I've thought about this alot. I've never been on ROTR or MMRR and I'm more excited about those than any other attraction right now, but I don't think I'll be part of the rope drop group. I did a Toy Story magic morning and I'm hoping it's...

I completely agree. I think the absolute lowest numbers will be in the first few weeks, as they watch crowd flow, ride turnover time, queue times, etc. That, combined with desperately needing to avoid bad PR of long lines or huddled crowds, will keep the capacity super low. Use that to make...

I'm with you. I think it's exactly what they're doing and will continue to do.

At this point, it really doesn't feel like much of the pushback is about the ride itself, but rather a perceived "victory" for one side of the political spectrum. The Walt Disney Company has clearly carved a progressive and inclusive path forward with no signs of hanging onto the most troubling...
