[Rxdr2013]

No warning for AP preview registration, or email! Thank goodness for this site!

No email here either!

I think the logic is giving people somewhere indoors with AC to take a mask off in and cool off. They're probably worried about people overheating when they're wearing masks in the hottest part of the year in Florida.

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the opportunity to take the mask off inside but it goes against everything the "experts" are saying, outside = good, inside = bad.

in the Batuu marketplace, yeah

I was hoping for a Porg puppet, so hopefully those little guys are moved somewhere else.

I guess AP previews don't show up in MDE then? It's my first one so I don't know how they usually work. I signed up for MK on the 9th, and it auto-filled the eligible APs associated to my account (and my now-3-year-old's inactivated voucher worked same as activated AP!)

Florida cases back down to around 5000 today. Hopefully will keep on dropping!

By the way, for those who have 3 year olds...when we went to the waterpark last week I put one on my 3 y/o son and he at first didn't want to wear it, but when I said he had to or we couldn't go in he quickly changed his tune and wore it without a peep, and didn't touch it until we got to the water area where they prohibit masks. He did amazing!

cases dropped but testing dropped too. % positive was 15.71%.

The skyliner resorts are looking more and more attractive now with the pandemic. Who woulda thought. I love the small boats from the MK area deluxe resorts, too bad they are gone.

CMs and guest services were pushing CBR and contemporary pretty hard last week when I had to call in. No coincidence that walking to and Skyliner-ing to parks can happen from these resorts.

Word from Batuu
CM were given their thermometers, masks and face shields when they clocked in
Both MFSR and RotR will only take one party per pod/vehicle. The entire RotR attraction will be done (no spoilers) so no jumping any element, MFSR they are going to decide if to leave the pre show running while people walk through, so no stopping in that room
Face shields are required for almost every position now, CM have to be strict on enforcement with guests, examples of people on the spectrum or any other disability will be required to wear a mask or asked to leave , were given in the training this morning
There will be a relaxation zone (masks off) at SWGE, it is said to oh=hold about 80 people, she's about to walk the land so she'll tell me where this zone will be.
Most casts that their costume required a hat are now told not to wear it because of the face shield plus mask, might be too uncomfortable, so no officer hats at RotR
There will be a safety spiel playing through out the park reminding people to wear mask and wash hands
You can still take pics in the Falcon loading area but with masks on

more info to come

ACTUAL INFORMATION! Thank you!

I completely understand the mask thing, even for pictures. If you give people an inch, they'll take a mile. Stop for a pic, pull mask down, forget to put it back up as you walk around looking at your pics or MDE. I can already imagine people not wearing theirs until told. Poor CMs. This only works if they're strict about it.

[xuxa777]

Thanks for the heads up looking forward to the 9th!

 

[Rxdr2013]

[sara_s]

I just got a pop up notification on my phone about it, so they're doing that too.

 

[coolbrook]

Just got my AP preview invite email this minute. Cant go since I am in Missouri and am traveling down July 13.

Wait Edit to say: It wasn't and e-mail actually but just a notification that popped up on my phone.

 

[Jiminy76]

Just got a message about the AP preview opening up on my phone. Now more than likely all AP's know about it.
