Photo update as of Friday, July 10, 2020. The restrooms and Baby Care Center between Casey's Corner and the Crystal Palace are behind this construction fence. Suspect the walkway here is being widened / reworked. The revised Magic Kingdom guide map shows they are open.

You weren’t there.

So? And how would you know? My comfort level matters. I'm not the only one saying this Peter. You realize like six people are live streaming. I know what I saw so please save it.

Why do you always jump to their defense. We're in a pandemic. Crowds need to be lower. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. Sorry you don't like it.

You don't like me. I get it.

I was supposed to be there. Would you like to see my reservations Peter? I knew they'd do this and cancelled it last night.

And I'm talking about entry. I'm not talking about how it is at this present time, 11:06 am. It's better. It looked like a disaster at opening and I would have been uncomfortable. Sorry if I'm not stating it well enough.

I'm not going to apologize for being hypersensitive about the crowding. It has leveled out. It looks better.

I know you weren’t there because you said you weren’t there.

I never said your comfort didn’t matter. If you are not comfortable then you shouldn’t go.

Photos and videos don’t show the whole picture.

Crowds are very low. Distancing is being observe. There is plenty of room for everyone to maintain proper distance. No matter how low you limit the attendance there will be a time at park opening where a high percentage of that number is going in at once.

I’ve never had a problem with you. Just because someone disagrees with you on something doesn’t mean they don’t like you.

Photo update as of Friday, July 10, 2020. Perhaps shown in one of the opening videos, however, here is how distancing is accomplished at the open-air tables in front of the Plaza Restaurant and Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. The same set-up appears in front of Casey's Corner. The photo was taken about 2 pm, it wasn't crowded; but then, most of the guests were at the attractions and the ice cream parlor was closed.

Good luck to everyone going today. I noticed a lot of cops parked around property the other day (extra security with high profile peeps staying on property?) As well as shops and restaurants felt extra cold with the AC on full blast.

I assume they're on standby to remove guests that won't comply with safety protocols and put up a big fuss and won't leave voluntarily.

And to arrest the crazy ones who spit on people to protest their freedoms.

I would say hug it out but....

I don't know, maybe send an e-card with hearts on it and write about your feelings.

It looked like a disaster. I was supposed to be there today but I cancelled my park pass reservation. It looks way too busy for my tastes. Almost like a normal day. At least at entry time. Maybe it's better around the park itself. Some parts looked empty. They're going to get roasted and rightfully so. Already anticipating the vloggers saying it's unsafe and uncomfortable. I know it's nowhere near the 'regular' crowd but double the guests of AP/CM previews is too much. It just is. They need to do better.

I knew they'd let in too many. And it wasn't very smart opening up ticket windows the day of opening. And why don't the magic bands work? I haven't had a physical card in years. So now I need to go to guest services and get one?

Here is a wild idea, don't go at the same time as everyone else. Maybe come an hour or so after opening so you avoid the big rush at the beginning. Seems like once you are there you have plenty of room to keep distant from others.

Here’s a wild idea: don’t disguise “business as normal” in abnormal times.

I get what you’re saying...but Disney pricing always puts pressure on people - down to the minute.

There was no way to avoid this...just not possible. It’s not like they don’t know.

Nobody thinks this is business as normal. I'm not sure Disney has advertised that it has besides not changing pricing.

The person I replied to was not happy the amount of people at opening and was worried about being safe in the park. When there has been video and proof that there is plenty of space for people to keep their distance from others. The only hiccup seems to be at opening when everyone is there at one time trying to get in. Solution: get there a little later.
