it was to Poly DVC?

Didn’t say.. but with only DVC open for the foreseeable future.. probably.

Just read on another thread that a guest just opened her MDE to find her resort has been changed.. no call from guest services prior. Just a change.

YC to Poly. EDIT... BC. to Poly.

Million dollar question, is it before or after July 11?

You have more faith in them than I do. After all, they advertised for deals and reservations, and took people's money for things they knew were never going to happen. How they've handled this whole thing has been less than stellar. And let's face it, if 2020 has taught us anything, it's that things change in split seconds, and anything is possible.

Also, who announced what first - did they announce the extension first, or did the new mask rule come out first?

it's outdoors they aren't going to cancel it now. Numbers will be down by July anyway.

They wouldn’t have announced it if they weren’t certain on this.

exactly my point

Is food and wine set up like QS?

Maybe they should just go ahead and throw up the Halloween, Christmas, and Easter decorations, put out some topiaries and some artwork, and have a socially distanced Santa Claus reaching into his Easter basket to grab handfuls of Halloween candy to toss to the kiddies while their parents guzzle craft beers. Do the whole year in one shebang.

Count me in. For the beer part mostly.

The thread I saw said to POLY end of August

Late August

You know people would be falling all over themselves to get a space at this ultimate festival for only $439 per person (a bargain really, think how varied it is!).

 

[FatBambi]

Exactly. I can't figure out why people are so sure of Pop's opening. Because there's not housekeeping, it makes me think they're not reopening,

I don't think it's that we're sure, or at least I'm not. But it's the first tiny glimmer of hope that's come out for a while concerning value resort guests. A lot of the speculation lately hasn't been very positive. I know my high has fallen and now I'm sickly nervous again.

I went to Volcano Bay today. Was weird with so few people and an empty parking lot.

one observation: masks get hot fast. A whole day at WDW in one would be tough.

 

[gottalovepluto]

The way things are going in Florida, and the new "mask required in all public spaces" requirement from the mayor, I wouldn't be surprised if the F&W festival ends up cancelled yet, for this reason... After all, only a week or two ago, they said MNSSHP tickets were still valid...

OC is not gonna start penalizing people walking around with an ice cream and no mask

Lol... Where have we heard that before...

 

[rteetz]

Yes they are food booths.

 

[Rxdr2013]

I am thinking maybe it helps with more people choosing Epcot knowing this will be going on

I agree they probably are hoping more will go to Epcot now to even things out.

Very interesting. We have a res for YC 8/7-8/10 and it’s still says YC. However my out of state AP did extend until 9/6/2021 so there’s that lol.

Late August

Whoooooaaaaaaa. That might be breaking news. Non-DVC resorts still closed in Late August? Eek.

 

[CastAStone]

Is food and wine set up like QS?

No seating for most of them

I think it might be. I think it’s the most we’ve got right now to speculate from, at least IRT to BC. BC possibly being treated different because of the proximity to YC though?

---SORRY----Forgot to quote---This is in response to folks saying how can you police wearing masks during the food and wine festival-----Maybe at EPCOT--again since it's so big---people will be able to physically distance---what is the rule in Florida? Here in Colorado---for the state parks outside--we need to stay 6 feet apart outside while on trails and hiking...maybe during the festival for this park it will be similar in certain sections? I dunno...I'm just excited the festival is happening, I'll do whatever they tell me even if I have to shove a falafel thru a straw and suck it down...as long as there's a beer nearby to chase it down with...I'm easy.
