[AmberMV]

Meanwhile, someone reported here earlier than Disney removed Military tickets from availability, and SeaWorld is giving active Military free entry for them PLUS up to 3 guests

EPCOT's having a rough Wednesday

Well, rundisney wine and dine half marathon weekend another victim of covid-19.

Unfortunate but not surprising. We are hoping to participate in the Wine and Dine next fall.

Are military members outside of FL even allowed to come here? I know my dad isn’t and he’s stationed in Arkansas. They removed the two hour recall and then immediately said you can’t travel to Florida since we’re a hotspot state.

For the most part, the actual Military member would need to get special permission (most likely not granted right now,) unless they're stationed within 250 miles - they still need permission over 50 miles but it's more likely. Having said that the dependents (spouses/kids) absolutely can and can/do use the military discounts.

I would expect that's the same at all the other exit areas like at mission space and nemo and figment as well. Never figured they would be running right now. Too hard to keep them cleaned and sanitized.

I really enjoyed the new bird show. I hope it stays.

I thought they were cancelling ROL, not improving it.

I know we are being encouraged to use mobile check in at the resorts, but I typically get our buttons (we always go during someone’s bday or our anniversary) when we check in at the desk.
I’m not sure that I’ve seen it posted but are they still doing buttons at check in or no - to further encourage mobile?

I can confirm you can get a button. We were there on my birthday last week and my wife surprised me by having obtained one. She said they will still do it all and then wipe it down before handing it over. It's kinda like if you have MB issues (I have literally had them every check-in, where my MB doesn't work but the rest of my party's do). They will take it, work with it, and then wipe it down, handing it back to you while still in part of the wipe.

They weren't on when we were there last Wednesday. I didn't think this was news.

...If you don't celebrate the small victories right now its going to be a loooooong 2020 and 2021 for you.

awesome - thank you!!

if we make our November trip (cross fingers knock wood) it's going to be my bday, my son's bday and our wedding anniversary. We need our buttons

Okay I'm out of the loop on this one. I've seen the Carpets of Aladdin mentioned more frequently over the past month than ever before. What's the joke?

On one of the first days after reopening, when pretty much everything was a walk on, Carpets had a longer posted wait time than most of the other attractions - including Flight of Passage - so it's been a running joke in this thread since then that Carpets is the most popular attraction at WDW.

A moment of silence for Jose, please.

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for clarifying! I've never been on it (wife and I don't like spinny rides) but I do remember zapping my magic band there once to burn some extra fastpasses we had for some strangers about to get into standby. It was fun...like I got to pretend to be a CM for a second and give someone some unexpected pixie dust.

My husband is going to think I’ve lost my damn mind when I giggle to myself next time (and every time after that) we walk through Adventureland.

All of this will have effectively made that horrendous bottleneck in Adventureland, tolerable. Everyone on here will just think about the Carpets of Aladdinssance on the DisBoards while trying to sidestep the foot traffic


People that dont typically ride it will suddenly say to whoever theyre with...”Should we go on?”

Land rides back up on the wait list again. 10 min Soarin. TT still down

TT still down - now THAT is shocking ! Should probably start a Test Track is WORKING thread !

Man it took me a while to figure out that TT = Test Track and not TT = Tower of Terror (yeah I know it's usually ToT but still...)

I spent a good long while trying to figure out how the evac in the Land pavilion had anything to do with Tower of Terror! (I know it doesn't much have to do with Test Track either, but at least they're in the same park.)
