Pandemic continuing to shine a spotlight on the worst people in our society. Wow.

Hi it took me 10 minutes to even get by all circuits are busy to wait on hold just now. I’m thinking that is a bad sign

Question - when you call the passholder line will it keep you on there no matter what option you say? It NEVER hears me right (I’m not sure what is so hard about “pass cancellation”, did it move me to the regular line when it gave up and transferred me to a CM? Bonus question, what should I have actually said lol?

There's a HUGE storm coming through now, many friends and family around the area are without electricity, most phone cm are working from home so I'm sure this is a big hump in the process tonight. Most phone cm live in the central Florida area

This is why, when my eldest asked to get a cashier job PT this week, I put her off...I assume we'll see more of this, not less, as the fall starts up...

And if we don't, then all she will have waited was a few extra months to look for work. (And she can work on her 2nd book to publish, instead, even if that money flows in VERY slowly and unsteadily)...but better slow and unsteady money than the stresses for minimum wage, and mostly unnecessary wage for her, work...

Are the food stands open in Epcot during the week? I couldn't tell from the photos ....

Some were not open today, including some that were previously open. There were also some that had more limited operating hours than others.

I heard Chicago is also out of power. Must be a thing today. Stay safe.

The problem is that there are so many bad people.

tomorrow morning from MK for anyone interested in seeing the crowds

Hey now, that’s where we’re going tomorrow for day two of our local vacay. There’s not going to be any crowds.

Storm scuttled our plans to ride MMRR for the first time right before park close. That lightening is no joke. Saw it coming in and made a beeline for the exit. We watched it a bit from our room.

Semi-local here - with LOTS of passholder friends. Almost all of them have gone to the parks since reopening but most have not said a word on social media about it because of potential backlash.

I did post about our trips (mostly because I can't help myself from sharing pics of my kid...) but put a looooong disclaimer before the first one, listing all the reasons why we are comfortable going. And I only posted in Instastories so people couldn't comment publicly

Only messages I got were positive ones and ones from my passholder friends who were planning trips/already went and were too scared to tell anyone. That's how I found out they had already gone!

So I completely understand why people are hesitant to share, and that's a shame.

What backlash? If you go, don't hang out with your friends for two weeks in case you get infected. What else can you do?

I’m consuming as much sports as possible right now.

Ok, totally OT but I'm sitting here in a UO hotel watching the Phillies and Braves play. I'm a Nats fan!

I know this link was posted but was this part of the link discussed? Pretty interesting that MK was a 2/10 crowd yesterday but Universal was a 9/10 crowd

UO was pretty busy yesterday, we stayed out of the Potter lands for the most part as we weren't comfortable there. Rest of the park we felt OK. Way busier than we expected based on all the recent reports.

Today wasn't empty by a long shot but a lot less busy than yesterday. We were more comfortable in the Potter areas.

So I got a CM but not the right one, when transferring me over the very nice CM told me its showing an 131 minute wait right now for the AP help desk for anybody else thinking of calling.

Help desk is more popular than Carpets of Aladdin. Sorry CoA, you’ve been stripped of your title.

They can enjoy their day on the throne, but dont get too comfortable

There are some very strong opinions on whether or not Disney should be open. We don't socialize with anyone right now anyways (and both work from home!).

Yeah, that seems sane and well planned...

I think you mean on their part (I hope lol), but my procrastinating self also did a bad job here. In fairness it’s hard to find a solid 3 hour block of time where I can wait.

I’m certainly not telling anyone we are traveling to Florida. I don’t need the travel-shaming.

I’m thinking Orlando needs an ad campaign similar to Vegas right now... What happens in Orlando, stays in Orlando . Or a poster at the airport that says “Florida man thanks you for being just as crazy as us for visiting right now”.

As a Floridian living in the thick of the Covid hotspot, it’s traffic and business as usual for most of us. I think it has just become pandemic fatigue at this point. I think everyone who can and is willing right now should go do a trip somewhere. It’s a great mental break from the same walls day in and day out. It’s the heat and wearing a mask for a prolonged period that has us not visiting US with our APs.

This is 100% us! We’ve travelled but no posting on social media (other than inside Disney groups) or telling folks outside of those we normally would talk to. It’s like opening yourself up for ridicule. People feel so strongly one way or the other about this and our society has lost the ability to agree to disagree peaceably.

Exactly the reason I don't do social media. I participate on a handful of forums and that is it. Social media is evil.
