Oh my goodness -- TWO years old already?! She's practically a senior citizen. :jawdrop: Oh wait ... :p

Your entire family must be thrilled. So nice to see happy occasions during this hideous year, as they cheer up everyone -- even those who aren't members of your family! :inlove:

@Cesar R M Swan/Dolphin use Disney transportation for everything, but I'm not sure what the situation for DHS is. The boats aren't running due to CoVid. At BC/Yacht, you're supposed to take the gondolas from Epcot unless it's storming, then they run buses. At BWV, I think you're supposed to walk unless it's storming, then they'll provide a bus. I would honestly just walk over in the morning when you're there and then figure it out on your way back (ask CMs what the best way back is). It's a very dark walk back, so I wouldn't walk it back, even though it's fine to walk over. The walk isn't short, but it's faster than waiting for a bus when the boats aren't running.
I see, sad that the boats arent running.
Also I probably will just get a powerful handheld torch/light if I go via walking.
The parks arent closing that late anyway.

So.. Is there a list of all the closures at WDW?
I know those 28,000 staff let go will affect many things. One that hit me hard was the Disney Transportation from the airport.
I'm worried that at this rate the places I love much (like restaurant) might have to be closed.

All of the rides are pretty much open. I can't think of any that are closed.

Shows are pretty much closed. No fireworks, Fantasmic, etc. You do have characters on their floats coming out periodically all day in place of meet and greets/parades. The Mariachi Cobre group in Epcot is still there, but they are at the American Garden theater for now due to social distancing. I think there's another group performing there as well.

Epcot a lot of pavilion food places are closed, but a Taste of Food and Wine is going on, so there's lots of little stands with variety. I had apple strudel at Germany and cheddar cheese soup, a mushroom filet, and pretzel bread at Canada. 😋 Some of the main QS locations are still open. Most of the pavilions have at least one shop open.

Speaking of shops, a lot of them are closed throughout the parks. The exception is Galaxy's Edge. Aside from a few of the smaller stand-alone kiosks, all of the shops are open, but I did notice the merchandise that was at the kiosks has been relocated.

Food wise, there's a few QS locations missing here and there and mobile order is your best friend. The good ones are still open (Pandora's food location, Flame Tree, Pecos Bill). No character meals at this point. Aside from Epcot, I believe most to all of the sit down locations are open at the parks.

ME is still available (though not at Swolfin I believe) but you have to get your own bags. No airport check-in either.

Under $200 a night for that resort is low for me.🤣
For a place on property, even I think that is a low price. Not as low as I can get just a few feet off property, but low indeed. Since they decided to impose the parking fee for vehicles staying onsite, they have given me no incentive to pay that much more for a room that I strictly use to sleep in. A lot of hotels just outside the gates do not charge for parking, so it is the same price as if I stayed onsite with my car. And I can come and go with ease and no wait for a bus to show up.

The Jammitors are there too. Mobile order is your friend! 😊

I noticed that Swolfin's shuttle from airport is around 20-30 USD.
Will have to balance and see if its cheaper than uber or something similar.

Excellent points!
