Wonder if they will still have the gargoyles talking .... we always try to hang back when leaving the stretching room as eventually the gargoyles start yelling at you to leave

It’s no worse than dining & probably better b/c you’re constantly moving. This is the kinda stuff that has ppl saying ppl are being a little too paranoid & fearful. The virus is serious, but there is also a level of paranoia out there too.

That isn’t paranoia. We are learning more and more about how this is transmitted, and people passing through the exact same spots one after another without masks (like HM) does not seem like a good spot to allow people to take off masks. People probably will, but that doesn’t mean it should be encouraged.

The difference with indoor rides and restaurants is people need to eat, and people need to take off their masks to do so. If people could eat with masks on they’d be mandatory in restaurants too.

Wonder how many people’s minds this will blow who have always thought that room was an elevator?

Makes me wonder how DL will do their HM.

Watching wait times ....
Do you think preview days will be comparable to park open days for capacity? Wait times seem pretty reasonable right now.

in the end they might be but I don't think we can expect them to be a sign of what to come. No idea on capacity of one vs the other plus you figure for these preview days there will be a lot of people trying to take in and film all the new procedures and set ups vs for "regular guests" who want to ride more

Some more on the security areas/testing new screeners

Apparently at AK you leave everything in your bag (and I guess they then check you if the machines notice anything) but at MK you have to put your electronics and metal items in a clear bag and leave the rest of your stuff in and then go through the scanner

Also, there are vending machines for masks if you don't have one (cost $2)

What a waste of plastic! I thought Disney was trying to be less harmful to the earth.

a little tip we learned when we did a tour (got to see a lot of the Haunted Mansion on that tour )

If they are uncomfortable they can remain on furlough, so I assume the ones who decided to return are excited about it.

But not the leaders who are not union....

As much as I love the stretching room show, it'll be nice to not be attacked with mild panic at the press of people in that room trying to crush me lol

Or being hit by a backpack because of rude people

Thinking more about KS with no masks vs other attractions, that one is less likely to have an issue exiting because the CM on board can have it worked into their script to tell people to put them back on with plenty of time to exit.

Other attractions could have bigger issues with people either not putting them back on, or doing it in a panic when they’re exiting causing back ups.

I'm having a hard time finding info on toll roads in FL right now....I found info posted in March stating toll booths being closed and money will be collected by a bill being sent in the mail? Are tolls still being collected this way? We will be heading to FL later this week and just trying to make sure I know what to expect!

I’ve only been through one toll booth since this all started (in June). I have SunPass, so I didn’t have to stop, but it took my money.

Me too! Ppl keep saying low crowds won’t necessarily translate to low wait times, but I’m ok with that. I just want a break from the mob of constant ppl & be able to walk around the parks & enjoy the atmosphere. We are not once in a lifetime ppl. Just got back in March, going next week & will go in nov. so there is no ride that I have to ride.

Even though I wouldn’t go to the parks right now due to covid, I totally agree. What bothers me about large crowds is not long lines - it’s the mobs of people out in the walkways, when there’s a crush of people, etc. When it’s hard to get from point A to point B. I can deal with a long line.

ok, this is pretty adorable

Omg yes. The most frustrating Disney day I think we’ve ever had was not one where lines were long and we didn’t ride a lot, it was during F&G one year where we couldn’t get through World Showcase without shoulder to shoulder crowds.

That works for us bc we have to skip it lately with DS (2). I like see the ropes too. I can’t stand the mad dash stampede once you move out the stretching room.

I mean.. green has gone out the window everywhere and being as sanitary as possible has taken priority.

5 minute wait for Flight of Passage. Who would have ever thought.
