The wait times in Animal Kingdom and really the whole resort have been a dream today... Really hoping these stick it out for when we're there in 3 weeks.View attachment 597437

Our hopes as well. And it looks good!!!

This could be the third awesome low crowd Sept in a row. I’m pretty much counting on it by this point.

In January FoP was 20min wait around 2pm, even went down to 10min the days we were there. May see that again?

Rumor: Buffets to return to WDW

Expectation in rumors is that when Boma returns the buffet will return with it. Hopefully this is confirmed shortly as AKL reopens in a little more than a week.

So could the dining plan be back sooner rather than later?

Without Character meals being fully back, I don't see that happening yet.

Dining plan I don't see coming back until more signature offerings are available and capacity is back to 100% in the restaurants.

Could mean less servers out front and they could be deployed elsewhere?

So we are still waiting for info on APs, dining plans, Space 220 dates/ADRs, Le Creperie ADRs, and existing restaurant opening dates. What have I missed? We need info now Disney - thank you!

We need it now! The anticipation is killing me lol.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I know I say this every week, but I am hoping for APs this week.

I think I may actually have a shot this time, so fingers crossed!!!

Currently you can make dinner reservations at the 60 day point. At what hour does it become available? 12:01am, 7am or when?

It makes sense, not to make it a Covid post - but the research now shows that touch transmission is super rare. But from the very beginning Disney has said 'The appearance of safety (tm)' is important to make the guests feel comfortable enough to return to the parks. That was the same thing with the temperature checks, Disney knew they weren't very effective, but it made people feel safer.

Waiting for the Disney parks blog first drop of the day...........ready for some news!!!!

Best news I’ve heard since they announced the return of fireworks.

There is a News site that Today is reporting this is breaking news rather than rumor now.

Checking the recent history, they post at :01 of the hour, usually 9:01, 10:01 or 11:01

First they’ll have to wrestle the AP page away from Stitch, he’s been eating it for about 5 days now

I’d love info on the return of the Minnievans, dessert parties at MK and if they are going to bring back package delivery from the parks back to the resorts.

I'd still rather have them setup buffets like they are doing on the cruise ships where a CM loads your plate for you from start to finish and then hands it off.

We did the Cali Grill Brunch a few years ago and there was an elderly man who shoved his hand in the pickle jar because tongs were too difficult for him, dropped the pickles on the plate, licked his fingers, then grabbed a different set of tongs for something else.

I told my Fiance this and she thought it was a little kid because that would make much more sense, when I pointed the person out and it was a 70+ year old man her jaw dropped.
