So I’m back home now sad because I left Disney, hate that part, but had a great trip.
HWS was great! We were able to ride everything we wanted. We did choose to skip muppets and Frozen. I was out voted on Frozen. Ride times:
MMRR rope drop 15 min
TOT no time posted had just opened walk on
RNR posted 50 actual 30
TSM posted 40 actual 20
ROTR walk on when called
MFSR posted 80 actual 45
ST posted 20 actual 10
ASSposted 20 actual 20
SDD posted 60 actual 30 at park closing
Rosies was the only place we ate at this trip that took a really hard stance on mobile order, but I’m okay with that since they have an allergy menu up. I enjoyed the social distancing in lines. I wish that would stay. It definitely won’t lol. The no drinking in line is excessive in my opinion. I saw people doing it anyway, but I follow rules even if I disagree so we didn’t and my daughter was so thirsty. Never felt unsafe. Sure there are crowds here and there, but if you aren’t comfortable being closer than 6 feet to another person you have plenty of space to avoid them. Plexiglass and barriers take from the beauty of some things, but if that’s what it takes to open so be it. Hopefully we are all out of this soon. I don’t think we will be back until things are more normal. We have been twice since the pandemic started. Once for just the resorts when DVC opened in June and just now. I don’t like not doing all the parks, but I can’t justify full price tickets for my family of 4 with the parks in their current state. Oh how I miss fireworks! Hoping for August to work out and if not then maybe next Christmas or both.

We also just returned, and while I don't necessarily think this will be everyone's experience, we did see CMs letting people drink in the outdoor sections of several lines. In all instances, guests were told to finish or throw away their drinks before entering an indoor area.

There was actually a management CM outside HM, and she was telling ppl they could drink but to finish up before going under the green canopy. On two separate days, we also saw guests who were told to stand to the side once they got to the actual entrance of the normal TOT queue to finish up drinks before continuing on (the line wrapped around the courtyard outside the TOT exit and ppl were drinking in that portion of the queue). However, we did hear live announcement while we were in the outdoor section of the Dinosaur line where a CM got on and said no eating or drinking at all.
 

To update my story from yesterday, everyone in my family group is still on board with going and we will be flying down this evening!

I will try to post something about skyliner operations as best I can Friday or Saturday with the earlier opening at DHS. We're staying at CBR so I will be coming from that perspective!

Good luck and have magical trip!
 
It's funny I have walked past that 5 million times and never noticed it lol
OMG I have never noticed it either.. IMHO I think it's hysterical, harmless humor and fun is what everyone needs right now, think somethings are taken way too seriously and this is great. I will have to personally seek it out on our Epcot day..can't believe I never noticed it...
 
First cruise ship to sail in Caribbean post COVID has a positive passenger. Cruise set sail Saturday and required multiple negative tests prior to boarding. But no masks required once on board. Roughly 50 passengers. Now all in quarantine in their rooms while ship returns to original port.

Stinks. Cruising is going to be tough to execute safely without herd immunity.

I wonder if places like Disney World or cruise lines will require immunization proof eventually.

Could be the only way to safely increase capacity.

Wouldn’t shock me if they do require proof after it’s widely available. Otherwise they will have to wait until the situation improves at large.
 
CSR peoples! Possible good news!

Look what has hours starting next Wednesday (none before)....hope not a glitch!

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this, and feel free to redirect....but is the Savanna viewing area (where the animals are located off the main lobby) open to visitors in AKL, even though Jambo House is still closed? Thanks!
