Brief crowd/spring break update and map offer

[WonkaKid]

Today is the first day post ROTR that I was able to be the first person in the park like I used to. Presumably crowds were low due to concerns over the coronavirus. Indeed, I asked four or five CMs to what they attributed the low crowds and that's what each one implied. I believe they're told by Disney not to mention the word. A long-time security CM with whom I'm acquainted told me that crowds are expected to be light through the end of the month, mainly due to spring (the majority of?) breaks not scheduled until the end of March/early April. I'll be back again with my honorary niece and her bf of Wednesday morning and will report what I see then/there. Rain is also in the forecast for that so hopefully that helps to make crows even lights.

I arrived at the park gates at around 6:55. Lines were the shortest I've seen since pre-ROTR. I don't believe that they even stretched to the Monorail track. I haven't seen such short lines in so long that I almost forgot what they looked like ;-). I was the first in the park (pics below) and was also the first on PP. I had trouble make a 2M+ score (I went over 2,096,000 once and my score reset). It wasn't until my last game that I was able to.

I have the new park maps if anyone would like a set. Simply send me your mailing address via DM.

Some pics from the park:

First in the park. First time in a long time.




The crowds at rope drop around 7:45.






Treats!

Thank you! It was nice to revisit the way things were ore-ROTR. Hopefully I’ll get to experience that again soon. I’ll be there on Weds and I’ll see how things go.

I was there too and was telling my family about you/your buzz scores after they got off buzz! Next time, I'll have to hunt you down in the park and meet the legend!

We decided to "sleep in' and arrive at the parks just before 9am. The lines were so long at each park entrance that they merged in the middle.

At 3pm racers standby was 105 minutes. I hope the rain thins these crowds because it was crazy.

Yeah today was definitely more crowded than last week... my SIL told me no one from their school is canceling their spring break plans, so I think next week may be nutty.

We actually ran into @WonkaKid in line for Buzz Sunday afternoon. My son was star struck after seeing his name on the leaderboard for so long.

Of course that’s the day I lose all aim I ever had and scored a whopping... 132,000

You really are such a sweetie for sending out the maps to everyone!!! Much appreciated!!!
