I wonder how Uni is doing in relation. Haven’t heard much. Know the new Jurassic coaster will be done for next summer. Got an email the other day with a video of it. I won’t be going on it. It has a straight vertical drop. My stomach eon’t handle that. Ds of course said that he is all up for it. Don’t know if anyone will go with him. 😂
I think they will probably end up cancelling their new park and moving the Super Mario area to Islands of Adventure.

They contractually with Nintendo have to build Super Mario World from what I understand. Their new park, however, I believe was designed to be able to be rented out so different areas could be closed while the rest remained open. That area of tourist (corporate events) will likely be the last to recover, so justifying the capital expenditure is going to be tough, especially with overall attendance down.

As for Disney, they still have two new roller coasters (Tron and Guardians) plus Ratatouille to open, so there's capital expenditures for them. If you want to place blame for this, without getting too political, it's been basically proven that amusement parks can safely reopen as there's been no CoVid outbreaks linked to any amusement parks anywhere in the country with the precautions being taken, and yet amusement parks in California still haven't been able to reopen. And that's all I will say on that because then we would have to move this rant to the basement.

I think one of the 2 is open. How long are you going for?
just 5 nights. aka 4 days at the parks.
I do not think I will touch Epcot this time.

So probably will do AK twice.

I'm mixing this with my flight to Houston for my medical review and calibration.

Need the review of my implant urgently as my hearing % is going downhill. And I want to do everything in one swoop before the travel madness starts when the COVID goes down.



Speaking of Resorts, There are cheap points on DVC.. around 180 USD per night at Old Key West.
Unsure if its more convenient getting on the Hilton or something similar in the Disney Springs area.

Swan and Dolphin are both open. I looked and the rates are really good for Fall. Good luck!
