Bring back the Main Street Electrical Parade, you cowards

You spelled SpectroMagic wrong.

Some numbers from one of the unions -

"About 10,000 out of the 18,000 Disney hotel housekeepers and food/beverage workers in Unite Here Local 737 haven’t returned to work yet, said Jeremy Haicken, a leader of the union.

“It’s an enormous number. All of them are at the mercy of this horrible unemployment system. They’re now living at most $275 a week while the Congress and the president squabble. It’s unreal what people are going through,” Haicken said. “At the moment, there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel.”"

I feel really bad for them.

We’ve chatted a bit about capex expenditures in the parks and wondered what’s getting delayed and what isn’t. MiceChat (a Disney blog) reported a few days ago that work at DL is continuing on MMRR (which is like a couple years from openings) so apparently that’s not delayed yet.

Have there been any rumors about when they will offer in-room dining again? With people having to find somewhere outside the parks to eat dinner while simultaneously trying to avoid crowds, you would think there would be increased demand for in-room dining, if it were offered.

I think the problem is there would be too much demand, and they can't handle it.

Are others who cancelled their APs still seeing them in MDE?

If only they had taken half the time to design the masks they sell to their visitors!!

So when I was in Disney Springs last week, I noticed like 4-5 new designs. A lot of them looked kind of cool (but I can't wear a LG). One seemed to be a tie dye type, other was tiki I believe, and can't remember the others. Haven't seen them in parks.

Yep they’ve come out with a few new ones in the parks. Tie die, HM, together again in pink or blue, Donald, and tiki.

I got my Star Wars ones yesterday. While each fits a little different I am pleased with the quality.

yes, I saw the together again in epcot. Still sad they're not selling XLs in the parks yet it seems (or at least they've sold out everytime I've been). Really would have liked the blue together again.

I find them comfy for breathing, but there is something wrong with the ear loops. I'm hoping I can stretch them out because I spent way too much money on them!

Yes. My Gold pass is still showing with an October expiration date.

Exactly! The ear loops are horrible. I’ve replaced all of mine with thinner loops. Even when they aren’t too tight, the loops are too thick to be comfy. The adjustable loops that appear to be on the cast member masks look comfy and I prefer the shape to the ones they sell. I love the patterns but the design of the masks they sell could have been better.

I haven’t noticed any problems yet. I’ve been wearing one of them for about 3 hours now at work.

Does anyone know if they'lll start having the XL in the parks sometime soon?
