Dumb question how many people are having issues with their flights being rescheduled?

All of my flights for two trips (one in August and one over Thanksgiving) kept being changed so much I just cancelled and decided to drive. It got to the point for the coming Thanksgiving trip that we were losing two full days of our trip since they pretty much forced us to arrive/leave at times that made going to the parks impossible. That was after almost weekly changes, I went ahead and cancelled christmas week flights too because I knew it was coming, that's just the nature of the beast right now.

I think we have enough answers about flights!

let some of us whine lol, now I have to sit in the car with my husband for 6.5 hours while he tries to change my Disney music to his podcasts.

Some possible CSR/GDT food news!!! Posted on another thread:

We are staying December 7-11 and was checking Menus today. Three Bridges has an updated, smaller menu as of this morning, looks to be first sign of reopening.

I saw A LOT of out of state plates when I was in the Contemp parking lot couple of weeks ago.

I think we are seeing a lot more people driving down here to FL. More than normal for sure.

And cutting through 4 lanes of traffic on I-4, love you tourists!! Please keep coming!! Just remember all roads lead to wdw

All this talk of flights! I'm over here waiting with fingers crossed for the travel ban to be lifted for visitors from the EU in time for our April/May trip

Yeah... I'm waiting for the Can/US border to reopen so I can drive down... Because I see all the direct flights from Montreal being cancelled or changed to unmanageable layovers....

 

[kmezick]

and not enough answers about Casey's Corner reopening....

Wait...Casey's Corner isn't open!!!
We will be there Thanksgiving week and have that on our plan for a QS lunch while at MK! Guess not...
I was also hoping to see Yachtsman Steakhouse open but no luck on that one either.

Don’t expect masks to go away anytime soon.

Just figured since it is no longer mandated by the state of Florida, Disney would come around as well. Let’s face it, it is costing them a lot of business.

It was never mandated by the state.

Having been there last week, it definitely doesn’t seem to be costing them any business.

Tusker House. Please come back soon.

Disney just terminated 28,000 Cast members. I’m not saying it’s because of the M word, but let’s not pretend business is good.

A good chunk of those layoffs were coming pandemic or not unfortunately. This pandemic sped up pending restructuring within Disney. Bob Iger himself has said for nearly two years now that Disney of the future would have fewer employees. They were looking to become more efficient.

Yep, if you're going to have a bad fiscal year as a company might as well make it a terrible one and hope for a rebound in the next one.

Still absolutely terrible for all of those CMs and even those at Universal who also lost their positions.
