I was thinking about this the other day. I now have probably 10 masks just for me. When masks are not a requirement anymore what am I going to do with all of these? Lol
Exactly! I think I have enough I can go like 3 weeks without repeating by now between the ones I made before these came out and the ones I've bought.... and may or may not already have Halloween and Christmas Disney print fabric to make more. It's a PROBLEM!
 
I wish that I could match your level of optimism. MVMCP is not going to happen. I doubt that there will be any after-hours events in the parks during the holiday season.

Overall, I'm doubtful as well. But it's really needed down there, it would be such a nice spark and just one small step towards to normalcy.

Since I have just been diagnosed with aggressive (aka missing C17 and P53) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, which is a cancer that is exacerbated by respiratory illnesses, might I suggest you keep them and wear them whenever you are going out and are feeling "off", getting over being sick, or have allergy issues manifesting (so you can't tell if you're sick). For my kind of leukemia sufferer and other immuno-compromised folks, we'll be forever grateful:)...if we all take this opportunity to actually keep up good habits (washing hands and staying home when sick), we'll help so many more folks even post Covid...

I agree. I’m just holding on to hope that (even if adjusted after release), from Thanksgiving to New Year, we can get a couple evening GENERAL hours tacked on so that we can enjoy the lights and decorations at at least dusk.
The biggest Christmas show/celebration might end up being the DS Christmas tree walk. But with what they did pull off for Halloween (including H&V), there will no doubt be some acknowledgment of the season.

I thought about that too. I don't think many will do that though. Maybe they will but I don't see it here unfortunately. Its still a struggle to get people to wear them under a mandate.

Oh, I know:). I tell my friends that's there no need for the mask to see me if they feel fine...and again, I'd hope we'd go to masks only if you're "off" or "getting better" b/c I like smiling faces...a lot. I really push for the hands and the stay home when sick, but I know when everyone goes back to normalcy, people are likely to ignore the "sniffles", and that's gonna be the problem:)...so, sniffles = masks would be a great future push, but unlikely:)...

Plus, they're great for the wearer if they suffer from allergies anyway

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. :goodvibes I hope treatment is going well. I was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and have had radiation and currently taking chemo that leave me immuno-compromised as well. I've also hoped at least some of the things that have become common place these days (cleaning hands frequently, avoiding going out or to work while ill, distancing from people if you feel ill, masking (although I hold no confidence on that one) etc) might continue past COVID. It would be a huge benefit to everyone, including those of us at higher risk, if at least some of these behaviors continue past Covid. Anyway sorry to go perhaps off topic here, but wanted to say, I agree with you.

ETA: To at least have something on topic. I also spent a good part of my morning looking at the code offers that I got in the email yesterday. There are some good deals to be had, but I just can't justify going right now. Still hoping for our trip in January and cheering on marathon runners though.
 
When does the next hours update come out?

I just can NOT imagine Thanksgiving and ALL of December the parks closing at 6pm

As AndyMan said, these are just the hours they’ve set. They can change them as they need to. If they see crowds coming in and staying throughout the entire day, they’ll extend the hours to appropriate the demand. Universal had set hours and have extended their weekend hours the last few weeks through this weekend.
 
I think many of us fear Disney throttling up too quickly without the resources to match, creating unsafe and unenjoyable experiences.
And I think many of us know it is a no win situation. Never is. That is why I always try to put myself in Disney's shoes. Holiday weekend, lots of people interested in going, but you can't call back idle workers just for the weekend. Some people are just going to be mad no matter what they do.

It's such a shame, since this is the cultural norm in so many Asian countries....protecting others from their sniffles/illness is just what they do with mask wearing and you see it year round.
 
At contempo cafe for lunch after spending the morning at mk.
Can tell everyone, without a doubt otra busier, PP queue was down to CHH, HM snaked into the exit of liberty belle, queues are definitely longer, most are adhering to rules, saw more noses than ever , but everyone is social distancing for the most part.
Contempo is definitely busier as well, been waiting 29 for mobile order, about 8 tables occupied, the wave shows 45 min wait without a reservation

Who's mad? Just stating the obvious that this weekend or not, increasing capacity without increasing resources isn't a great idea if safety is still the top priority. We are still in the middle of a pandemic :-/

Such a great point. Masks have never been a part of our norm but honestly, if there's a time and a place for them post-COVID, I have no issues with it.

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Sending big love your way.
