EPCOT has too many tiny restaurants.

But large walkways in WS

Starting to really think they were caught off guard with UO opening

I was surprised by the UO june 1 date but I'm glass WDW isn't taking that as pressure to open sooner then they are ready to do so.

 

[Searc]

Epcot is the 15th as well

Thanks. I must have missed it in the excitement. lol

July 11 MK and AK.

Thanks! Glad I decided to reschedule our 7/7 - 7/13 trip a few weeks ago. Makes me feel better that they are actually closed for most of it too

Sounds like no exception for children on masks

In Florida summer heat?

This is going to be a disaster. Kids will be throwing them off, screaming, etc... They can't even enforce it at Disney Springs.

 

[NJlauren]

No character meet and greets.

Really sad about this, but also very understandable.

 

[Jroceagles]

MK and AK July 11th, HS July 15th. No mention of Epcot. Masks required.

yes he said Epcot 15th too

So basically any vacation plans anyone has till the end of the summer at the earliest I’d assume, with fast passes and hotels, are now worthless?

I can't watch live so I'm missing a lot go details but why is that?

 

[cakebaker]

Well, the last day of my trip is included. Dang...reschedule or skip. That's our choice.

 

[Searc]

No parades or fireworks, either.

 

[Friendlyadvice2]

I'm gonna have to go back and listen again because I thought he said Epcot and DHS on the 15th

They did.

 

[Farro]

All seems reasonable. I wonder what the surprises are/were?

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

JULY?! There goes all Villains After Hours events.

 

[KBoopaloo]

I’m sorry to all you guys who were hoping for different today. I genuinely am.

I am so impressed with them. Being leaders doesn’t mean being first to announce or first to open. It means doing what is best for their situation and theirs alone. I’m sure they’re going to get a lot of crap but for once I have no snark to give.

Agreed. I am not super surprised by this timing based on all they have to plan for but I did wonder if they might try to rush it a bit in response to Universal opening so soon. Glad to see them taking their time to do it the way they think they can do it most safely.

I assume it's the dates

 

[SaintsManiac]

No parades or fireworks...

Its going to blow up in all their faces, just watch it. People will think they can do it but wait till that heat and hunidity.

 

[brockash]

Mid-July is the end of summer for you?

Some schools open the end of July, first week of Aug. so yes for some mid July is towards end of summer.

 

[Hummingbird]

They did.

oh ok thank you!
