glad to see the Voices of Liberty included in this - I know at least some speculation that they might not be retained after the holiday season, so good to see them still being used

No surprised the took the race virtual, but still a kick in what my son calls the "boy parts".

At least they kept the bad news to 2020

Snowcat Ridge closes almost immediately after opening.

"Some of the violations include un-permitted plumbing and electrical setups, exposed electrical boxes, extension cords and power wands sitting in puddles, and improper stacking and use of shipping containers, to name a few."

Those are some costly mistakes.

So either there were a bunch of cancelations in the theme park ticket & resort guest buckets, and Disney just got around to updating the calendar, or Disney has once again moved and/or added availability to the buckets for Christmas week. Really hoping for the former rather than the latter.

I noticed that too. HS was also sold out 1/1-1/7 and now it's just sold out 1/1.

I think it's cancellations. I can't see them adding more capacity right now

I was more thinking they moved some from the AP bucket because no dates were full aside from the Sunday and Christmas Day, but I do think now is the time people are re-thinking or being forced to cancel. Still keeping a close eye on my family, no one better get sick in the next week

Do we think this is permanent (that it’s basically a bar with snacks)?

Even in normal times Spice Road Table struggled so it will be interesting to see if they play with a new concept. We often grabbed beers to go there or shared apps so that sort of move would be fine by me!

Personally, I've always thought the netting for the Xmas lights looked hideous during the day, so for me, no netting is a welcome tradeoff for potentially less spectacular holiday lighting. Not to mention that the projections can always be revised and possibly improved.

Like most things I’d love just one last chance to see the castle lights before they go away, if they go away. WDW is always changing but having a last chance to soak it in helps. Excited for the projections this year because at least it’s something but seeing the castle lit up in that icy blue from our room is so special to us.

I’m waiting for the news or how Disney is going to integrate “Love is a compass” (The song from the Make a Wish short that came out last month) into the parks. It screams Nighttime spectacular theme song

Agreed. I'm sick of "virtual" anything at this point.

I never liked virtual races pre-covid. I'm completely sick of them now.

Not a fan of virtual races either but what irks me the most is the cost. I don't get how they can charge so much for a virtual race. $108 if you want a medal and a shirt for a virtual race is ridiculous.

Tonight's the first night of holiday fireworks at sea world, social distant markers around the park went up last night.
I worked until 7pm today so couldn't see them but im working shows tomorrow until 12pm which will give me a chance to see how people are doing with staying in their spots
