I just saw on Instagram that Disney is now playing messages that there's no eating or drinking in line

Lol good luck with that.

Some of these lines are an hour+ and you can’t drink anything? Even six feet apart? Hmmm

I was at DHS this morning and happy to report Christmas decor was not scaled back, all the elements were there (minus Sunset Season Greetings screens)

Not having yet been myself and based soley on pictures, it looks as though they didn't scale the Christmas decorations back in MK either - I was worried because Halloween was deff scaled back.

Looks like it is full force which is just awesome.

Does anyone know when resorts start to put things up?

I mean....I thought this was a rule already. So i'm glad they're addressing it at least.

Resorts usually get theirs during second and third week of November, usually all decor is completed by Thanksgiving. I went to stream at AoA and the tree was not up but they did have the little trees in the gift shop

And most in the blazing sun!

Well that's a little ridiculous, but oh well.

An hour in the sun and no you are not allowed to take a sip of water? That’s a lot ridiculous. And almost nobody will abide by it so kinda pointless, might cause guest vs guest confrontations though

Agree. And to clarify for others, no I don't think it's ok for people to just continuously be eating/drinking without their masks on throughout the line. But taking a quick sip while you are stationary and distanced should absolutely not be an issue for anybody.

I’m here now and I could be wrong because I only half paid attention, but I can only remember hearing the no drinking/eating in line bit on indoor queues (definitely heard it inside RotR and MMRR). I’m on the outside part of the Smuggler’s Run queue and the whole spiel just played and it didn’t say anything about eating or drinking.

If you think the line is so long you can’t wait in it without removing your mask for a drink or a munch of food don’t get in that line. Maybe consider a water bottle with a straw you can slip under the mask to sip some water without removing the mask should be fine if you really have too.

How early do they need to be rented?? Maybe we should get on that

I just made my golf cart reservation on monday (2 days ago) for dec. 7-18. I was worried because we needed it for so many nights and on short notice, but the CM said it was no problem.

They take a credit card number but don't charge it until pickup, and she said you can cancel it up to the day before with no penalty.

I also can't believe you can't do this online. The first time i tried to call was outside the limited hours when they take reservations, and the second time i was on hold 90 min before giving up. Third time was the charm - on hold for about 10 min, then about 5 more to make the ressie. Woo hoo!

This new spiel comes as something happened yesterday that i can't disclose, i don't have confirmation that it's only playing indoors but i was there this morning and didn't hear it outside.
If it's only playing indoors it makes tons of sense to me, i agree that preventing people from taking a sip while outside is a bit much

 

[disneygirlsng]

If it's just indoors then I can get over it. Still wouldn't bother me, but more understanding. But restricting that outdoors is just way too much.

I can only imagine, from some of the stories I have read, what happened. Wouldn’t surprise me if a family took a whole Thanksgiving dinner to eat in the line. I was there for a trip in July and one in August, and it would have been impossible to get through the outdoor portion of some lines in the summer without a drink of water, but the interior lines would have been fine. I am just hoping things are better virus wise by next summer . . .

Was this mentioned already? I thought it was interesting given everything was "full" previously.

Went to UO this morning. They are slowly putting out a Christmas stuff. So far the only things I saw was garland around beams at the Guest Relations building on City Walk and the entire Diagon Alley area is decorated. Wreathes, garland, and lights are all over the inside of Diagon Alley, as well as Grimmald Place. It as really nice to see.

Also, when we were in HS last night I noticed the giant floating ornaments in the lake by the Dinosaur Ice Cream shop. That was a welcome site as well!

Give me a break . This is the kinda over the top rule that’s just going to cause noncompliance.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I imagine it’s a lot like the stance they had to take against walking around and eating/drinking where they gave an inch and people took a mile. A strict rule leaves little (not no, because there’s always room for someone) room for arguing with the CM.

In every outside line I can think of being in during our September trip you could step aside and take a drink. Heck in the space mtn line that wound its way all through Tomorrowland my kid left the line and got into another line at Joffrey to buy a water because she was so hot she was going to pass out. Not an issue. And honestly even inside, there are prob places you could go to the side and take a quick sip - I have perfected it without even removing the mask. I lifted the bottom as I put the bottle to my mouth. Never even took a breath. Over in a second. Just stepped away from people and turned my back. Rarely to never did that inside tho.

I'm freaking out a bit. We leave in the morning and I made several changes. If they don't honor the new ADRs I hope I get the canceled ones back. If not, I'll be very upset.

I hope you had safe travels! I think you posted this morning saying your ADR's were still there - did you actually HAVE any today? I was curious if they were just like OH HI HERE IS YOUR TABLE THAT YOU DEFINATELY RESERVED or....no.
