We moved from Aventura to the DoubleTree offsite since the only option was to move us to CBBR which we didn't want. The rate at the DoubleTree was so good I couldn't refuse adding a night LOL. We fly in the Wednesday the week before Thanksgiving, park days would be Thurs - Sunday flying home the Monday of Thanksgiving week. So I am hoping the first two days are "slow" and then weekend is a little more crowded but still better than normal levels and that we are leaving just before the real holiday rush comes.

you'll be fine, enjoy your trip

not huge news but CM are now allowed company issued cooling towels onstage, in case you see some CM wearing them.
I was at Sea World on Sunday and was surprised they also allow their Ambassadors to wear the neck fans

I can attest to this. Even though I'm local, once a plan was made a few months ago for a couple of my friends to come down to visit in 2 weeks and stay on property, I became much more happier. I had something to look forward to, and was planning things out, which gave me something to do.

This would make me happy if they opened it. Especially since I went ahead and scheduled a trip over Christmas week. I'm hoping we slowly hear more and more things opening, yay.
I do think though, the big 2 I want are not going to happen, but here's to hoping!
1. Epcot's candlelight processional
2. Remy's
And for a bonus 3rd, longer evening hours!

I think you have a shot at longer holiday hours and Remy’s

The candlelight processional is not possible.

new skyliner hours 9am to 8:30pm
monorail express and resort 8am to 7pm

The monorail resort line closing at 7pm has to be disappointing for MK resort people hoping to travel between hotels for dinner. And what about people who go for dinner at MK after closing?

The Candlelight Processional could be modified and turned into a cavalcade style procession with the story being told over the park speakers... social distancing marking on the ground & a limited route so as not to impede the pedestrian flow.

Strolling carolers are a possibility as well.

I like this! I like this!

It's a first step, encouraging those who are comfortable that yes, it's okay to start planning that trip.
Let's go there!

I'm assuming buses will be available

I think they will hold off on Remy just like Busch Gardens is holding off on Gwazi and Universal will hold off on Velocicoaster. Now is not the time to release anything new. Wait until this passes and have something exciting to draw people back.

Well, when the GF walkway opens, you can walk to all 3 resorts. Work off those calories!

one of the reasons that Tapestry of Nations stopped operating is because it would bring walking around WS to a halt, I don't think this idea would work. Plus singing while walking is pretty hard, especially choir music

Disneyland Paris has announced that the two shows, Jungle Book Jive and Rhythm of the Pridelands will not return
They are investigating what to do with the new Disney Junior show that was about to open soon.

Rhythm of the Pridelands only played for a week before getting cancelled when cast members tested positive, and the entire cast of the show had to go into quarantine.
Jungle Book Jive never even started before a cast member tested positive.

They need masks. There isn't any other way live shows will be safe unless all performers have masks on.

I think Remy will open by Spring Break.

I don't agree at all - if that was the case they would have postponed the construction as well.

I cannot wait, I'm going to GF on the 21st in hopes that the walkway is open as rumored

 

[anthony2k7]

Other parks don't care if you take them off for a quick picture since you are stationary. Its really not much different then stepping aside to drink so water.

There will always be grey areas to that rule though. Vloggers will claim they need their masks off next. People taking masks off for photos inside attractions queues as well. Nope, far better to have simple clear rule like disney has.

I hope the boats are too!

Yeah but Gwazi has other issues like Busch paying up to clear the construction liens - I haven't heard that being resolved yet?

Hopefully Disney and Universal don't have that issue delaying them!
