As it should. The parks wouldnt have been packed every day, but they probably would have been busier than they were.

We would've gone last month if not for the spike (and resulting quarantine orders).

That‘s not good. I’m okay with Mary Poppins being axed, but what else? The Play Pavilion? Moana walk thru water thing?

Festival Center. Disney has confirmed that Epcot is being re-evaluated. Play is moving forward. Guardians and Rat as well. Anything not really already underway will be in jeopardy.

It's all hearsay without pictures!

Wait, park hopping will be available starting next year??

They are selling park hopper tickets starting 1/1. There are been no announcement as to when park hopping will return.

Let's remember how things went with reading things into dates when looking at resorts and don't make more of it then what it is. Just like resorts it is the earliest they think they might be able to and doesn't mean that is the date it will happen.

Exactly. They never said Park Hopping WILL be back on 1/1/21, just that they are selling the add-on in hopes that they will be able to. It seems to be too soon to begin park hopping in less than 4 months, but who knows. Until they set a date on when it’ll return, dont take 1/1/21 as anything more than an unofficial target date. Just like June 1st was probably an unofficial target date to reopen the parks at one point.

I agree. We would have been heading to WDW tomorrow for our annual trip but the crazy high cases in FL had me delay our trip for a year.

Yes, apparently some folks in Park Event Ops have been told that the Festival Center has been indefinitely postponed (to much grumbling). Spaceship Earth all has been indefinitely postponed (at some point in the future, they'll have to at least refurb it but who knows when). All indications are that Poppins has been basically scrapped completely (which makes sense, given Disney itself wasn't necessarily sure what that "attraction" would entail). The sense I'm getting is that World Celebration makeover will also be drastically scaled down with the goal of having the "major artery" of the park back by/around the resort's actual 50th.

So if Epcot is all but scrapped - what about all of the already in progress demolition and construction that had already started? Just leaving it with walls up and stuff halfway done?

Narcoosee’s is apparently reopening 9/21. Sorry if that was already shared here!

They will have to finish those.

Im sure they’ll tidy it up to the point where it’s not a distraction, but also that if they decide to revisit some of the projects set for that area in the future, they could.

But perhaps not to the originally planned standard
