If the vaccine is 84% effective can I wear a mask 22% of the time?

So I was gone for a long weekend and haven't read the last 20 or 30 pages of this thread. Was there actually any rumor news that I need to catch up on?

Not really - no.

Yes. Go to the everything fastpass forum for the fastpass news, the transportation forum for the MDE news, the TPAS forum for the AP news, DLR forum for DL AP news, the DDP forum for the dining plan news.... I know I'm forgetting a few.

Rumors and news are out there but in multiple different places.

Some of what this thread is all about is in something I wrote in the New Year.

"Part-time informative, part-time sounding board, part-time therapy session, and almost always entertaining. In a way we all commiserate here and celebrate what good we can from the current state of affairs."

But in reality it's more than the above. It's somehow become an atypical dysfunctional family, in almost all the ways a family can be realized (and dysfunctional). Good and bad. Funny and sad. Happy and mad.

During COVID it has been a great stress reliever. Most of us are still in their homes, all over the world, waiting for the days when the pandemic subsides and we can normally get on with our lives and our visits to WDW. For some, the locking of this thread left a hole.

At the moment, folks here are sad, mad and bad. That will pass. Many will return, many will not. Those that are more comfortable here will continue to post.

Thanks for listening.

This is beautifully put, and absolutely right on the money.

Well for good news, It looks like the Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island will both be back and operational AHEAD of schedule (well kind of, ahead of the several times amended schedule).

Blue Man Group Universal Orlando is closing...and then what Avid said - earlier openings for Riverboat and Tom Sawyer

I MISSED YOU GUYS!!! So glad we are back up, thanks Mods

Also, I'm really sad that APs aren't up for regular sale yet. All this talk of AP discounts is killing me. I'd also be afraid to rely on an AP for the 50th though, so... the struggle

Universal is still doing their express passes.

I just saw a rumor about Cape May Cafe potentially being set up to reopen - stickers on tables etc.
I'll be interested to see how they roll out with it - I never had an opportunity to eat there but people either love it or hate it.

I wouldnt be surprised to see them roll it out officially in time for the Hotel side reopening.

So glad to see this again! This has been my go to thread and I've enjoyed reading it and all of the conversations

Me too buddy, me too. It's slowly killing me on the inside.

Woo hoo! We're back, baby!

Many of the express lines have been rerouted to avoid being near standby for distancing, meaning you miss much of the queue. Something to keep in mind for attractions where you’re really into the theming.

We did like the character breakfast buffet at Cape May Cafe when we did it back in 2018. If it's handled similarly to the character breakfast at Riviera we went to back in October last year it should be fine - no buffet but off the menu. Unless they are only planning to be open for lunch and/or dinner, which we haven't done.

I asked over on the YC/BC thread if someone who is there now can check out the situation at Cape May and report back. Will post here with whatever I learn.
