Wonder what made them choose BB over Typhoon. Is there more capacity limits at BB?

 

[Mit88]

I think we all would take what we can get when it comes to the Pleximover at this point!

True and I think if it opens with plexiglass it’ll be an easier pill to swallow for guests than if they opened it without and then added them in later. There probably wouldn’t be as much of a reaction to these plexiglass additions if they were inserted day 1

Not that I’m aware.

why would they put plexiglass on people mover? THey only put one party per car. They don't have it on Buzz and those cars are just as close.

And there it is.
Needless to say CM are not happy about this either. It's pointless and hard to load especially when people ask to easily for pilot

Also, eligible ticket and AP extensions impacted by closure "should be completed by March 7, 2021."

Maybe a clue on when AP will generally be available again?

No I think this is more for those APs who have water parks since they were impacted differently than other APs.

But then why the DVC ticket discount announced this morning? They’re all over the place with the APs. Obviously they’ll be back at some point, but I don’t even think they have a clue as to when

I was so worried that our Christmas trip wasn't going to be that great after everything I have been reading and our last few trips. We were here in July when it was practically empty but so hot that the facemasks were practically melting. Then we were here in October and November and so happy just to see the Halloween and Christmas stuff that we didn't mind if it was busier. How could this trip be better than those???

It definitely has been magical! I don't know if we are just getting lucky or what. We saw the Electrical Water Pageant the very first night because it was coming through as we were waiting for our boat to Wilderness Lodge. We got Columbia Harbor House food (our favorite) at Tomorrowland Terrace. This morning we walked into EPCOT to find the new entrance fountain unveiled. Lines are moving faster because of the plexiglass. I don't LOVE the look of it, but I can't say it has ruined any rides, even when we have been in the back row. And we have ridden almost every single ride in every park each day--plus had lunch and dinner. We've never waited more than 20 minutes for a boat or bus, and almost half of the time we have had a bus to ourselves.

The only place I truly didn't like at all was Galaxy's Edge. It was WAY too crowded--to the point that we ended up leaving right after we rode ROTR. It just wasn't worth it to us.

This is our 4th trip since June and it seems like every time we are here, there are either old things coming back or new things starting. We've seen Santa in two different parks, eaten so many different things in EPCOT, and worn ourselves out every day. I know it isn't "normal" Disney but it's still magical to us.

3 hours longer than I’d ever wait for that ride

That's encouraging to hear. thanks Enjoy the rest of your trip!

How long would you wait if plexiglass was installed? Negative two hours.

it is such theater - I appreciate efforts for safety but this is so transparently for capacity improvement and not safety, it's almost irritating.

I almost wish they would just put up a sign that says “you will share a ride vehicle. Don’t get in line unless you’re ok with it!”

I haven’t ridden MFSR because I have no interest in it, but it seems like this will ruin the ride.

Of course it's transparent - it's plexiglass.

Sorry; I couldn't pass that one up.

I do wonder how many people will get to the front of the line and panic when they realize they’ll be in a small, enclosed space with strangers. If you’ve never done the ride before, you may not realize that.
