I also finally stumbled onto your TR. Loved every word of it and your pictures. You're a talented writer. Especially enjoyed your antics with your red name tag.
Like you, we too lucked out with a fabulous trip to WDW right before COVID hit the US. In fact, my DD may have contacted it on her flight home. She had all of the mild symptoms, including loss of taste and smell, but nonetheless tested negative for antibodies a few months later. We had a wonderful time and loved the sky liner access from the RR. I think they should build one to AK.
The only negative in 1/20 was the crowds. This time we're going back on 11/28 - 12/07, when somewhat lower crowds are anticipated. I'm still a little apprehensive however, because of the 50th celebration and the pent-up desire for folks to travel after what feels like loosing a year and a half of our lives. We've both been vaccinated, but plan to drive down from WI. The airfares have tripled from what we paid in 1/20. Stay well!
