    The Tipping Point For Change

    Wow! My family is definitely a Disney family, with 7 DVC's between myself and my 3 sons (since we live in the Atlanta area and its just a car ride away, a big difference from our earlier years up north), all Disney Cruise members and APs to WDW AND Disneyland for years. We've been to Paris DL 3...

    Disney’s Animal Kingdom Was a Mistake

    For us WDW "originals", i.e. visitors since Day One, we don't need no stinkin' zoos (although when staying at the AK Resort, the Savanna view is outrageous!). What we need is an "Archive Park" where all the original rides go to live. It would probably have a 20 year shelf life, since most of us...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    From your experiences, sounds like it may be changing and that's great news! Please do keep us posted! We're going back down in about a month and a half! Lake City was the worst on I-75, but hopefully maybe it's better now since January. And true, coming from the west, the restrooms I cited were...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    I agree that the Panhandle is more Lower Alabama, just like J-ville is more lower Georgia, but Lake City and the other I-75 towns like Ocala are definitely east of T-hassee and at least from what I've personally experienced, nary a mask was seen the last 2 times I went through, which was last...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    In many countries right now, you have to carry proof of vaccination. When I was in the army, and traveling overseas, I had to carry my yellow vaccination card with me at all times. I still have the card and am amazed at the shots I got - Dengue fever????? I too have multiple DVC contracts and...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    That's the whole idea behind the masks - protect others. I've been vaccinated with both shots, but I still wear the mask and distance. It's not about me...it's about the others...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    I guess we are just having some different experiences. I too have a beach home in the Panhandle and I was just there 2 weeks ago and find most people NOT wearing masks. In the Eufaula, AL and Madrid, AL rest stops, which are the ones we stop at when going to our house near Mexico Beach, masks...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    Only if it means more revenue, I think. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of crowds now, with the masks on...they might prove to be very cautious because like I said before, one slipup and they're locked down again and I don't think FLA Gov DeSantis will be able to intercede...the feds will...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    I too have been vaccinated in Jan and Feb with Moderna and as we have close family members with cancer and MS, I too wear my mask everytime I go out to a store or restaurant or even get gas. I use gloves to punch in the codes on the pump. If someone calls me a p---y for doing it, I just point to...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    Yes, I agree with one of the blogs above that in some places the mask and Social Distancing rules are being very casually enforced and that's probably where the "relief areas" were. They're probably just places where people are slinking off and taking their stuff off. I saw one by the Peter Pan...

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    My friend, an otherwise healthy State trooper, died of COVID, leaving a wife and 2 sons behind. He didn't wear a mask. I'll wear a mask.

    Masks and Social Distancing Go Away in WDW

    Count on masks for a very, very long time. Social Distancing is being very "casually" reinforced even now at WDW, more casually this past January when we were there then even the preceding October, our previous visit. The virus is a long way from being beaten. Don't kid yourselves. Whatever your...

    Describe your first trip to WDW. How old were you? What year was it?

    I was 20 and I was going into the army the day after Thanksgiving 1971. Not a great time to enlist, especially since I had just gotten married and finished college, and there was a certain "unpleasantness" going on full tilt in Southeast Asia, but I did it because I didn't want to get drafted...

    JUST GOT BACK - DVC RESORT REPORT - WILDERNESS LODGE

    Needless to say, we had no luck trying to get on "Rise of the Resistance" for 2 days. Tried to get on at 6:59 am and 12:59 and at 7:01 and 1:01 and all four times within a minute, we were told all queues were filled. It was a big disappointment for my 4 grandkids down from New Jersey...

    JUST GOT BACK - DVC RESORT REPORT - WILDERNESS LODGE

    Just got back from a week in WDW with a 2 bedroom at Wilderness Lodge DVC. We needed a cot and the DVC sales guy got it from us after the Lodge people refused to get us one. We needed to change rooms when the grandkids came in and we HAD TO MOVE THE COT OURSELVES!!!! Other than that, the Lodge...

    DAST pass

    Okay, so we go to WDW again in late January. In the past I have been able to get my wife a disability pass, although we didn't do it this past October because she just stayed around the hotel, the Riviera, and didn't go on any rides. This time, though, we'll have 4 grandkids with us and she...

    News Walt Disney World theme parks increase capacity but see longer waits and less physical distancing

    Was there 2 weeks ago with 2 other adults. Sunday was fairly busy at Hollywood Studios, but during the week, it was next to empty at MK and EPCOT with the only line of near an hour at "...Small World". Peter Pan was 12 and 15 minute wait. HOWEVER, people were generally NOT doing social...
