What happened to Orange bird?! I was hoping they’d use their leftovers from F&G...

Cue that awkward moment when they realized someone threw out those boxes months ago

Disney appears to be installing the walk through metal detectors at DHS. These are the same they tested at Disney Springs and currently use at AK.

Do we have an idea on how much Security CMs Disney is saving using this tech? Like
20%, 30% fewer?

Stayed at OKW last week. For park opening the busses come fast and furious.

That is actually a huge benefit I recall about OKW. Their buses were constant, but not sure if they now stop at the Hospitality House as the last stop before going to the parks. Did that change?

How many of the Flower and Garden topiaries and flower displays are still there?

Hospitality is still the last. Starts at pennisular and goes around last at hospitality. However it seemed in the morning for park opening that there were dedicated busses for pennisular through turtle pond and then busses for hospitality and millers. Then as the day went on busses would hit all the stops. I went to Epcot at around 330 on one day and I was the only one on the bus and he went to all 5 places

What are the pool hours right now?

Feature pools are 9-9 now (extended from 11-9) and the leisure pools at resorts with DVC properties are open 24 hours. We were at Boardwalk last week. Luna Pool open 9-9 and the leisure pool was 24 hours.

I saw a handful of topiaries around the temp MouseGear location. Other than that, not much.

Nice to know COVID hasn’t changed everything

I’m hoping they at least save them for next year. I was very excited for it. It would be the most unique one I have.

Alaska cruise trip ended early due to positive test onboard.

"According to the press release, a passenger on the trip had previously been tested for COVID-19 prior to departing from their home. When they arrived at Juneau International Airport, however, a second test was administered. The passenger was not notified of the positive result until they were already on the boat."

Elsewhere is claiming the tri-state to Fl quarantine is over?

Why would anyone get on a cruise ship/boat right now? Crazy.

This is getting tiresome. I want to think there is a protocol somewhere out there that can mitigate the risk of cruising. On the other hand, maybe it's wishful thinking on my part.

Somewhere that isn't allowed to be mentioned here

Edit: found a tweet...

Honestly, how can they unless everyone who will be on the ship (including crew) self-isolates for 14 days prior to boarding, then has to take a covid test to prove negative.

That's tough if they want zero cases.
