Not to be the Debbie Downer but this is actually a more restrictive Discover Disney discount than last year. They’ve never had blockouts for MLK and Memorial Day weekends if I remember correctly. The two-day special (much like the fall one) is a rarity but the 3- and 4- day tickets are actually a bit more expensive than last year’s Discover Disney promo. My guess is that this is more about trying to entice FL residents to visit and stay onsite rather than just “fill” parks.

Plus with not selling new APs it is one way for Florida Residents to get in with not paying full price

Oh sorry, didn't realize it was an article. Thought it was just a Twitter spoiler.

I’m really surprised we don’t have full menus for festival of the arts yet!

Same here. Have two reservations but no airline tickets yet. Fingers crossed that maybe one of the trips happens. I am in need of a Mickey pretzel in 2021!

Happy New Year!

Has anyone heard any recent 50th anniversary rumors worth noting? In the past, would the summer be included in that celebration? I know the 50th is in October but we’re coming in July.

What do the wise ones on DIS think?

TikiTikiFan, have you caught the WDW bug? I am going in August and from what I’ve heard it will probably start on October 1st but it has been said it will run for a full year.

1/9 was the latest date publicized that it was closed through, so that makes sense. Could always be extended though. Not an official opening date yet.

Nothing official but indications I have seen from various insiders is that nothing 50th specific will start prior to Oct 1st and then carry on for a year+ after that

Typically they do start celebrations early but things go pushed back due to Covid

But who knows, they could adjust and start some things early, I just wouldn't expect it at this point

There is no twist.

There is no twist.

There is a twist. From the article there is two rumored twists. One would be possible early entry from resort guests. The other is that resort guests may get to park hop before 2pm.

 

[osufeth24]

So far not seeing anything on the app about park hopping availability
