They just dropped the Starbucks tumblers when I happened to be in the Emporium I feel so lucky!!

Wait, new ones? Or did they re-stock?

The guide map, poster, and POG juice at Poly have made for a few nice freebies today. We haven't bothered trying to do any merch shopping....taking a bit of a break for now.

 

[Dinosmile]

Almost everything is a walk-on while Peco Bills and the Emporium are 2 hour waits!

The food was insane. I made my order at 6:45 am, clicked “I’m here” at 11.35 and told them to cancel it at 12:05. Left the park to find food and was still “waiting“ at 1pm before finally getting a cancel notice just after. Why does it take so long to make burgers and nachos???

I’m glad we can say we were there and I like the poster, but it’s pathetic to me that it was just about the merch for Disney. Rededication mess aside, Chapek was there. Would it have killed him to get on he stage(or even record an announcement) thanking us for coming and for keeping them in business ll these years?

Restock. There was a fight that broke out over them earlier today

Oh yea, that happened not too far in front of me.

Over the Starbucks tumblers? Holy, that's crazy.

I haven’t seen these posted here. This is the TODAY ONLY merchandise.
This may help you not feel bad if you don’t get in the Big Top via virtual wait list.

When we got in at around 3pm the only things that were out were the magic bands and the ornaments.

Decided to hop, but for those still in MK… are folks starting to wait around for enchantment spots?

CMs at the exit when I left said as long as MK was your first park, you are good. But they don't seem to be restricting at all right now.

Even tho the park hopper line & push notification say no hoping to MK?

I'll be honest, idk. There were no signs, no announcements, and nothing from my bus driver when I went back in.

I left Magic Kingdom this morning to go to AK, because I had a reservation in MK this morning I will be allowed to return today as per confirmation of a handful of cast members.

EDIT: At the bus stop from AK to MK they have cast members that verify your park reservation before allowing you on the bus.

Waited 2.5 hours for food at Peco Bills. Finally asked a CM and they sent us to a line to expedite it. Now going on 3 hours and my original order isn’t ready yet. They are telling people 3 hours for food

I'm still salty. I went to guest services to let them know. What happened to first in first out.

Yes as of 5:53 people are starting to settle in to spots all along the hub and Main Street

We had MK this morning. DS & DDIL went to AK to ride safari before hopping was cancelled. Now their MK reservation doesn’t show in their app. I came to Studios, same, no MK in my app. Personally I wasn’t planning to go back. But this should be communicated when you leave or try to tap into another park.

Does your MK reservation still show on your MDE?

Can you post if you get back in? Thanks!

We were planning a quick trip back to the hotel for a few hours from Epcot ahead of dinner and the CM I questioned about getting back in said no guarantee - only guarantee if you hadn't made your first entry yet. So now we are just killing time in epcot.
