Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Ratatouille, Guardians, Play Pavillon, Space 220 I think are all still in process?

The Walt statue! And the fountain.

In all seriousness, though, will they just ...repave the area behind SSE, until they figure out what they’re doing and when? They can’t just leave it wallcot indefinitely.... right?

Saw the join button go live at 10, then closed the app and relooked and it's gone. Did it really fill up in seconds again?

Cast members told me it filled up in 30 seconds. We were in boarding group 16. Lots of people had to go to guest relations because not all the members of the party showed up in the Queue. My oldest son and I had to be added manually to our group.

@Yooperroo Have a blast in Epcot! I’m wondering if there is still Orange bird merchandise (drink pitcher, glasses) for sale in Epcot at the festival merch booths, and if so, if the 30% AP discount applies. Wondering too if there are any of the limited edition Epcot posters out for sale (all sold out in minutes on shopDisney). Also, if you happen to pick up a times guide, wondering which days of the week Mariachi Cobre is scheduled (they used to take off Fridays and Saturdays and Marimba de las Americas would play on those days instead). Thanks and have all the fun!

Lots of orange bird merch still available including the pitchers and glasses, and the 30% off does apply. I didn't see any posters. I had a times guide, but then it poured all afternoon and got so wet I absentmindedly tossed it out before looking at the times guide! I'm sorry about that!

In all seriousness,


Another Carpets of Aladdin could probably fit in that area. Cheap, a big time people eating E ticket attraction. And who wouldn’t want a 2nd Carpets of Aladdin?

@Yooperroo mostly curious about spots to safely eat in the WS for F&W. Have fun!

They did have little round tables set up in various spots. I didn't see too many people walked around eating. We had pretty bad storms for several hours this evening, tho, so it cleared out a lot of festival goers I think.

Thank you so much! Hopefully they still have that cutie pie birdie merch next month! I messaged Mariachi Cobre and got their schedule so I’m good

Modern problems require modern solutions.

And absolutely nothing is more modern than a 20 year old attraction that is enjoying renewed fame and awe.

We love to see it!

Craig review of CoA at 43:51: “I think thats the first time I’ve enjoyed Magic Carpets”

I like to think that his newfound love for Carpets is because of me.

We did the Garden Grill Character dining today. The kids had a great time. Mickey and Pluto made the rounds together and Chip N Dale paired up. They passed by several times throughout the meal and interected with the kids each time. The food was very good. As a matter of fact, we've noticed all of the sit down meals are much better than usual. You can tell they aren't havening to cook for as many people so the food is fresher.
We also caught a couple of the characters out in the garden between The Land and Journey into Imagination. They are super cute and played around in the area. Very interactive. Sorry for the sideways photos

 

[Mit88]

I haven’t seen any pictures or video from character meal at Riviera, but honestly I don’t think its cheapening out on the experience with what theyre doing at Garden Grill. Sure, its not the same with them not physically coming to the table, but they’re close enough to have an individual experience with the table.

For sure. The kids definitely felt like they had a worthwhile experience at Garden Grill today. They also gave an autographed postcard to each of the kids with all of their signitures.

These are great! Thanks for sharing!
I am more excited now for our character meals

 

[SaintsManiac]

I love what they’ve done with Garden Grill. It’s my favorite character meal.

The food I buy from groceries hasn't increased in price but I am vegan. Though I also change price tags for all departments at my job (wholesale club) except for meat, and there haven't been any significant or widespread increases on food. Maybe we're taking a loss at my store, or maybe my area hasn't been affected as much as others.

Or other companies are taking advantage of their customers and are artificially inflating prices.

 

[Anna_Sh]

They did.

Darn, I missed that part....
