Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[LeeLee'sMom]

Checked into RPR today at Universal. The Christmas decorations are up at the resort. They have a very pretty tree. I have to say I didn’t expect RPR to be this nice. I don’t know why. Maybe the difference in pricing compared to Disney deluxe as this was much cheaper. I’m definitely hoping CCV has their decorations up when we transfer over to Disney. Southwest flight in was great. Definitely missed the cocktails. Mask compliance onboard and really anywhere we have been has been good so far. Used Tony Hinds for the first time today for transfer from MCO to Universal. He is awesome!

love Tony such a great guy!

Yeah, we'll have backups, just been tough finding one that my wife finds comfortable and breathable.

Try the Vivian and Vincent sunscreen cloth bandana ones and cut the scarf part off. We did 5 days in July and 11 days around Labor Day with them on. It's the only mask i can breathe in and saved my vacation sanity.

Last time we had it, it just came the bread bowl and a bread lid, so the potatoes on the side are new to me!

Have to try that. Might be good dipping the the Canada filet in if we can keep it warm enough.

Yes first time at AKL.

Awww, to bad you are there during the COVID. I say that because I am guessing they no longer have the night vision goggles viewing. My kids just loved that and since you said you enjoyed watching the giraffes... But at least there's daylight!

AKL is my dream resort to stay at someday!!

I’m in the same boat. Two ADRs I had made well before the glitch, and on that day I adjusted two of them by 15 minutes.

Would be great if they could reset the system to what it was before the glitch. But then that would mess up people with legitimate reservations made AFTER the glitch.

Missed opportunity by Disney to not cross promote Wreck It Ralph with all this glitch talk

AKL is my dream resort to stay at someday!!

Last year we did a parents only trip and stayed at POP for the bulk of our trip but then did our last two nights at AKL and it was really nice, very relaxing (and great food options! ... at least in the "before" times)

Waking up and having your coffee on your balcony while watching giraffes and other animals (or in the evening with a glass of wine) was wonderful

AKL is one of our bucket list resorts, too!! We ended up really lucking out and getting a great situation at AKL for December since POFQ is closed. We are so excited to finally stay there. I hope you get to cross it off your list soon!!

Do it! You will not regret it. It’s my favorite resort, hands down.

Just bc I am really having a hard time concentrating on anything -
I just checked the MDE app and touring plan's lines app -

Granted, it's a weekday, but wait times are not bad right now across the board.

Posted/actual estimates for some of the most popular rides are around 30, 40 mins.
Things like Safari are posted 15, actual 6 mins!

That's not too shabby.

I find myself doing the same thing!

 

[LeeLee'sMom]

I’m worried about a few hard to get breakfast ones I had. They were legitimate ADR’s made way before the glitch, but during the glitch I adjusted them by 15 minutes here & there. Will I completely lose my adr bc I foolishly adjusted the time

I did the same exact thing for a stinking 15 mins....ugh I hope I get to keep at least 1 of them

oh and the cookie stroll is basically identical except I'm not sure what the completer cookie is - I think it's the Minnie Peppermint Cookie? Which replaces last year's Santa sugar cookie?

If so - then that's two peppermint flavored cookies for the stroll.

ALSO - there's a NEW COOKIE.

and it's GLORIOUS.

Located in Holiday Hearth - World Showplace -

• Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth® Cookie (New)

NOMNOMNOM i'm going to be like Pac Man going through World Showcase.

I get so excited to hit every booth. Annnnnd then I get there and see the lines and my list of 20 must-dos slowly dwindles to like, five. Great looking line up this year though.

We used to avoid it b/c it was so far out there, but we have stayed there now twice in a row. We are going back at thanksgiving & this time went ahead & did the Savannah view. DS loves it!

DME line right now

I've never seen it that long pre-COVID!

Me too. 5 minutes and 20 minutes. The kicker is the original ADRs had 3 people and I adjusted them down to 2 people LOL. The first one I adjusted is for this Saturday and the other, Sunday.

Good luck! I just restarted my TP reservation finder for mine just in case when they delete it starts finding more.

I will switch to AKL for next year if the discounts are good. We rented points before and I am scared to do that again.

Ugg. Knew it was coming but still.

Reset my TP alerts. I’m most upset at losing B&C dinner. I rescheduled it later when the ADRs popped

ETA: I’m surprised they’re offing the GC honestly. Didn’t see that coming.

The potatoes were there last year, too-- I remember because one of them was purple in mine.

 

[RamblingRabbit]

Just reset my TP as well just in case. I grabbed a Topolino's, it was the breakfast I was most looking forward to.

I rented points this time & just got vacation insurance.
