He was on a business trip where he was at a very busy convention at the convention center, went to Disney, but also went to Universal. He passed away when he got back to California

Media blamed Disney

That's right, wasn't he coughing up blood or something like that, but still never went to get treated as well?

Same place AP holders go for fair treatment.

....a whole new world..?

IIRC, he had those symptoms and got on a plane anyway.

Today we did HS. Got my boarding group and was able to ride RoTR. It’s an amazing ride, and was so worth all the stress and anxiety of getting my family up and out of the hotel this morning (we’re not rope drop people, even for a 10am rope drop). But, rode everything at HS and did a sit down lunch at SciFi, so it was a good day.

How long did it take to ride everything? They’re not even closed yet, so must have had a good game plan if you finished everything and had a sit down meal in one park day.

They let me onto Rise. It was amazing and I was the only one there!

Just thought I’d share something interesting I’ve observed over the past days. Beware the ice tubs....I’ve seen so many ppl sticking their hands in to grab ice then rubbing it on their faces and bodies and sticking their hands back in. They tend to me located in spots not directly visible to CMs and I was freaked out when I saw a lady reach in and pull out a water to purchase after I had earlier witnessed the bathing ritual.

Okay - finally ran into my first issue. So im currently at Disney Springs and the line for the Pop bus is getting pretttttttty long. Distancing is (fairly?) good, but the line is actually in queue 19 and currently stretches all the way down to queue 21 (and is approaching 22). Up until now bus waits have been a non issue, so I'm going to consider this a one-off. I think there is a bit of a learning curve still in Disney anticipating bus volumes. I don't see any other resorts with this scale of a backup right now.

As an edit: as soon as this posted two came back to back. So clearly the issue was noticed and Disney is trying to address it!

I am all about the positivity, but I think it's a little soon to toot the Disney horn about no Covid cases!


Definitely a little soon to spike the ball. But in this case no news is good news. So far so good or whatever other cliche you can think of. I’m just happy as heck that none of the people on here who visited report any cases either and hope that holds a long time

(Anyone else just here for the Carpets of Aladdin updates??)

I don’t want to brag but I was able to ride carpets 4 times in a row. They actually let us stay in our seat. Just a little pixie dust sprinkled our way

So they’re doing The Year of a Million Dreams again? Thats the only way to explain being able to ride CoA 4 times in a row

They’ve already figured out how to turn the screws on out of state passholders - the three days of park pass reservations essentially pushes out of state passholders into resort hotel rooms. So they are really in a winning scenario by continuing to allow out of state APs who already pay the highest prices for the two top tier passes on offer, plus now to ensure park reservations for each day of a weeklong stay, you need to be staying onsite.

The AP cancellation thread is full of complaints from out of state passholders who (justifiably, IMO) are upset that their usual vacation plan of staying offsite and using APs as entry media has been disrupted. Disney’s cancellation options give those folks who were likely to stay offsite and use the AP a middling number of times without producing the onsite revenue an option to remove themselves from the AP pool. I don’t think it’s that they aren’t going to offer out of state APs - more that they will offer them on such terms that some who’ve enjoyed them in the past will self-select out of the AP pool.

disney and aps with park reservations is a crazy issue That other places don’t have. My local six flags is requiring reservations and I’ve gone on and reserved every weekend for the next months in case I want to go. Is that fair to others I did that? Of course not. that is what Disney wants to avoid though. However disney unlike a six flags has onsite resorts they want to sell and they can’t have a situation where a resort guest can’t get into the parks. Then you have out of state ap staying offsite And there is not a great way to handle those differently. If you said out of state ap had unlimited reservations but florida aps had the 3 I’m not sure that would fly.

there really is just no good way to handle all situations and somebody is gong to get the short straw. Right now it seems that is out of state staying offsite. If I’m in that group I’d go the refund route.

I watched the news briefing and Dr Pino specifically mentioned that the MLS and NBA tests were then taken out of the numbers when they calculated the positivity rate for Orange County. He said it would impact the rate slightly but wanted the true number excluding them. Apparently only half of the story was once again being reported.

According to the resort TV, the bird show in the Up theater is now called "Feathered Friends in Flight!"

Does anyone have a good memory to remember what it was called before the Up theme was added?

I feel it was something very like the new name
