156 new deaths (another record high), and almost 14,000 new cases. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/...rus-cases-deaths-hospitalizations/5449434002/

Completely predictable of course based upon what Florida is doing.

I also have a problem with getting a cached version of the "latest" report. Here is where the files are located, and has the previous days listed as well.

after the initial rush that pushed the wait time to over 2 hours, MMRR now down to about 75 min wait

Epcot skyliner line was insane at Riviera at 10:50. No boarding until 11:00 (park open time) and minimal social distancing way down the line. We chose to drive instead today.

I find the whole VQ thing upsetting. On the one hand, I understand why they do it to avoid a huge standby queue, but on the other hand, it's only going to make rope drop worse, no matter what they think.

Anyone there today have issues or success with the Rise VQ? There were a lot of issues with DHS yesterday but obviously that was the worst one. It was one thing to have to get a boarding group as soon as you got in the park, another when you had to wait for the lottery at the exact park opening time. But you could go as many days of your trip that you wanted at that time, and I had a 100% success rate.

It’s an entirely different thing to not even be able to get park reservations, and then be shut out 3 times in a single day. I’m not sure what the solution is to keep people from showing up at rope drop other than to make your RotR reservation at the same time as your park reservation. First come first serve.

After yesterday it makes me think that DHS was the only park that actually hit Disney’s target number of guests, and that the other parks will soon be just as busy now that it’s open to APs. The other 3 parks seem to now have wide open availability.

Keeping the faith that AP numbers remain controlled. We have an August trip booked and the only reason we are keeping it for now is the low crowds and ability to distance. If that changes, we'll be canceling and taking our thousands back.

I'm not feeling great about some of the reports I'm hearing about mask compliance and the CMs ability to control it. It's all anecdotal, but many people who are there now have told me about some serious issues, such as taking masks off on the buses, on rides, and in line, and not a thing was done about it.

The stations, even the main one, are great when it is normal times but at opening or, in the past when you could park hop, it woudl get backed up with people trying to get to EPCOT ... so definitely will have moments that aren't great

even in the past I thought they should open up the skyliner early otherwise you get these situations

Same. We are also on the books for a few days in August. We were at Riviera July 4-empty, July 9 AP Preview-empty, and for those reasons we felt relatively good about it. We do not want to be packed in like sardines again, so Disney needs to be careful about how many more people they let in. Even being a semi-local, I will not keep our August reservation if crowds start increasing significantly.

Has the positivity issue been resolved at all? Seems some labs were only reporting positive cases (no negative results) which was skewing things. I saw it could be as low as 8% but remain highly skeptical. This makes a big difference for those looking to travel.

This is what we experienced too (in the fall). We didn’t stay at a Skyliner resort but we saw the Epcot and DHS stations plenty of times to see that they would consistently have very long lines at prime times. Now, the lines moved quite fast so it wasn’t a big deal in the before times but now having to distance that crowd and also make sure parties have their own gondola is going to make it an issue.

Kinda scary to see less glowing reports coming out of Disney in conjunction with the numbers coming out of Florida. Stay safe, guys

My personal experience has been almost completely positive. Bit the times that i have had someone getting to close, i have moved away, iiib queue yesterday on rotr i told the group behind me to VW's mindful I'd threw floor markings are they were walking past them. I understand some CM are not enforcing all the rules, which they should, but i have a voice and it's in my best interest to keep people around me in check. Kindly and respectfully I've spoken up and people have complied

DeSantis confirmed during his press conference yesterday that several labs had only sent through their positives and not their negatives (therefore reporting 100% positivity), however he also said that these are smaller labs so even when these labs do send through their negatives it will not affect the overall positivity significantly.

ETA: I know travel is a personal decision for everyone. Personally, I would not travel to another state right now. I live in FL and my family still stays home most of the time if not for groceries or my husband's job. We have left the house together a literal handful of times since mid February.

I have a friend who is there now. On the bus home from DHS yesterday a teen sitting close to her didn't have the mask on, so she politely reminded him to do so. He didn't comply and his dad got all up in arms with her, telling her that if she was so worried about people wearing masks, she shouldn't be there. It scared her and she reported the incident when she got back to the resort. I'm honestly a little afraid to say something because you never know who is going to fly off the handle.

I wish the board had a option as the "like" options.

For those of you who have been to the parks this week- if one was deciding between AK or MK for early next week, which felt better in terms of crowds, safety, experience, etc? Does the Food and Wine Festival get crowded later in the day, or do the crowds stay generally low all day? TIA!

If that happens go to the nearest cm to intervene. Of course you never know how someone will react, look what happened to the cm at ds, but better to speak up than to stay silent
