Well I know my sister gave back 4 people per day at each park she was going to be at starting tomorrow as she cancelled her trip yesterday

I haven't seen a list of relaxation stations in Epcot or HS. Does anyone know where they are? Thanks.

I know they turned Akershus into one, but not sure about others.

Sorry to hear. I'm glad she was kind enough to release her reservations for others. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I know I had a park reservation for August 10 and I released that the other day as well. I only live 1.5 hours away but I am waiting until late August to visit.

Thought I'd share my first day back since December.

There are four of us, only adults this time. Coming from Los Angeles, CA.
Disney bubble start point, aka DME, only two other families with us, all of us were assigned seats on the bus.

Kidani village for our first night. Lobby was pretty busy but everyone keeping social distance and mask on properly. Sanna was booked, couldn't get a last minute reservation. Room was assigned before we got here - checked in at 8pm.

Disney Spring bus was empty at 9:30pm. Went to Raglan, very busy. 99.9% people I saw had their mask on properly.

Tomorrow is Epcot, and check in at BWV.

Have a great time, see if you can report back on relaxation spots in Epcot while you're there, how busy they are and such. Have fun!

Have to wonder if DS might be better on Mon-Thurs nights. Last Saturday, things were awful.

I heard that the "big 3" Walmart, Publix and Target (for FL at least) are now requiring masks

OTOH if you go to Winn-Dixie you don’t have to worry about their mask policy because you’ll be the only person there!

Are the Minnie Vans running?

They are not at the moment.

That I can believe. I do not shop there. Publix is King here in FL

I agree. DS is a different animal than the parks and resorts. We were wondering if they are even trying to monitor capacity at DS...it sure didn't feel like it tonight. I definitely feel like safety precautions are being handled differently there

I guess thats partly the result of all the parks being shut at night.

 

[WonderlandisReality]

Really not too concerned about mask compliance at Disney. Everything looks pretty good and for those times that there is someone not complying...there are plenty of kids around. Kids are THE BEST at shaming noncompliance people at anything. Especially if anything resembling “fairness” is in play. If I see someone intentionally not wearing one I am just going to subtly point it out to my 7 year old, kick back and watch the events unfold.

just wondering based on park I work at, either parks or resorts are CMs allowed to fill refill cups or popcorn buckets? we are having to put in paper and hand to guests so they can pour in their cup or bucket. i have been at a drink area in my stand and that has been biggest complaint so far during passholder opening. Saturday is big opening for us

What they're doing is filling up a regular popcorn container, and give it to you so you pour it into your popcorn bucket
For reliable drinks you tell the cm which drink you want and they use a new cup everytime, they don't take your used cup.

RoL, Stitch, and Primeval Whirl closed for good

Oh no! My child has been really wanting to ride primeval whirl! First wasn’t tall enough and then it was closed last time we went. There is going to be so much disappointment.

ETA: Sorry. Wrote this before I read we were to move on from discussing it.

Funny I got an email for a survey for my time at Epcot even though never got one for when I was at MK or AK)

Interesting one of the questions was how big of a fan I am of Marvel and Star Wars

The top answer (very big fan) still isn't strong enough to describe me with Marvel lol

Oooh I need to take that survey! I'm a HUGE Marvel girl! I have a Loki license plate that I had made on my car....and my shower curtain is also Loki....I have no kids so that one looks a bit crazy but hey. lol I'm one of the ones that will make a special trip to Paris and California once the Marvel lands are done.

Are they selling any popcorn buckets?

thanks sounds the same as my small park. biggest complaint I have had during our passholder days has been not being able to fill refill cups and wasting paper cups

To be fair, I would think that traveling to Florida to spend 8 hours a day for a week in an Orlando grocery store would be a worse idea than spending that time in Disney.

Tongue in cheek perhaps, but still absolutely true. It's also a matter of how often you choose to put yourself at risk. It stinks to have to limit yourself to the must do's and not do the want to do's, but the more often we put ourselves at risk, the more likely we are to get caught. It's not a matter of well, I'm at risk at the grocery store, might as well do Disney too.

There are also other options besides shopping in a store that either doesn't require or fails to enforce mask policies. We try and limit ourselves to stores that require and enforce their mask requirements like Costco. We also do store pick up and InstaCart. With national chains beginning to require masks, it's going to get even better, IF they enforce their policies.
