Fireworks testing tonight?
I am at Poly and can hear the noise

That’s so encouraging. Thanks for the report.

Just read on Facebook that they just did the entire Star Wars fireworks show at Hollywood Studios!

It was the full show from the Galactic Spectacular at Hollywood Studios. I just watched it on a LiveStream on YouTube, someone caught the whole show from Epcot!

That is awesome!
Did this really happen at HS or was it actually Marriot?

I really miss the Starwars Symphony fireworks they had right before the new show with projections started. The pyrotechnic and soundtrack were insane. For a minute I thought that had come back, which could make sense since can be enjoyed from all around the park to help space people out.

Someone might be able to answer this for me. Hollywood studios, the Star Wars dessert party or the JIngle Bam! show, there is a big neon M&MRR sign. Would this be turned off during the shows or could they do something elsewhere in the park?

I know, right!?!? Some of these parks are not available until mid to late July the link says. That's nuts. Starting to dislike the idea of a permanent park reservation system once capacity issues are over. Takes out any spontaneity whatsoever.

Just wish with increased capacity they'd open up a show or two (or seven....lol). A few restaurants would be great too!

Is it too early to dance?!?!

I watched the video; the vlogger did say Hollywood Studios, but I checked and she was facing the absolute wrong direction. She was definitely facing the Marriott, not HS. I even checked Google Maps to verify, and sadly, it was Marriott.

Thank you for confirming
I was hoping beyond hope but if it really was HS it’d be surprising if all the fan sites missed leading with that story today.

But we’re practicing being excited One of these days it’ll be for real.

We tried the new Cape May breakfast this morning (meh.) + hit Epcot for a couple hours. We always visit Epcot on Memorial Day, as it's typically the least smushed feeling pre-Covid, so we kept with tradition. Crowds were quite low in comparison to previous years IMO. Weather could not have been more perfect this morning. We left around 12:30.

Frozen still had distance markers in lines + the awful plastic on the boats. Thankfully we hit it early so you could still see through the plastic but I imagine after a few hours, you just see fingerprints and water spots.

Figment also still had line markers but were seating separate parties in one vehicle. This was new; a couple weeks ago, we still had our own and today we were seated in the backrow with another party in front of us.

Just meh for breakfast?! That’s disappointing Thanks for the updates!

I had high hopes, as we were frequent visitors to the pre-characters Chef Mickey breakfast at the same pricepoint and really loved it, so it was a bummer.

My 1 year old threw down his weight in Mickey waffles, bacon, and fruit so he does not concur with my review

Different strokes for different folks. Took my Pop to Cape May last week (we’re local). I should preface this by saying 2-3 months ago he practically stopped eating anything (he’s 89). After we got home from Cape May, he asked if we could go once a week. He not only cleaned his plate, but went back for seconds and thirds. So we will be going once a week for the near future. I guess everyone has different tastes.

Did not look too busy in most of the photos. It looks like it would be much busier since all the park reservations are full.

I was in mk all day and the crowds really weren’t too bad. We did rope drop and got on everything we wanted and were done within a few hours. We went back over later in the day and while it was a little busier, it was nothing crazy. I actually felt the crowds were much better then when I was here at the end of March. I leave tomorrow and head back down the end of June into Fourth of July. We shall see what summer crowds look like. Hopefully some more restaurants will open by then!

We ate there on Saturday and really enjoyed it as well! We’re going to go back in July

I'm glad it was good for you! Esp for your Pop's sake We waited 25 minutes for the skillet of hot food and it was all cold Maybe if warm it would have been better? The omelet tasted spoiled (and cold). Our service was really, really, really slow (both runners bringing hot food and waitress). In comparison to Chef Mickey's, it was extremely disappointing.

We're semi-local (about an hour away) and hit the breakfast spots a lot so we might give it another try later on.

We ate there yesterday morning. I would concur with the “meh” assessment.
