For entry, it says you need park pass and ticket. Did you print out your park reservation or show it from the mde app?

No. Not asked for it either. I assume if you try to enter a park without one Mickey turns blue instead of green.

For anyone staying on property, did you notice if the daily security checks are still being done? If so, do they just open the door to the room or do they actually enter the room? Hoping they just look inside.

 

[fla4fun]

No, but I don't normally see a lot of seniors at WDW. There were some there during our trip this past week, like usual.

One thing I have noticed is fewer strollers and ECVs. There is a lot less stroller parking at MK because of the distance markers.

they moved the Pop stop to the second aisle of bus stops

Well I am not sure what happened in my room. I declined housekeeping, but someone did a trash and towel service anyway. They did not make the bed or do anything else. So I don’t know if housekeeping made a boo boo or what. I am at Pop and left the curtains open and the shears were closed also. I think they are still doing the checks in some form though.

ETA - I just got back to my room and no sign of anything moved, even the curtains are still open. If they were smart they would just look through the window, but I guess they have to see the bathroom too.

Yeah, it was the closest stop in too which was great. Right next to the temperature tent too. I am sure it will get pushed back as other hotels open up, so enjoy it while it lasts.

We were back at MK today. Today I noticed there were new announcements being made by CMs while waiting in line. (This was different that the announcements being made throughout the parks)
The announcement was telling everyone to wash their hands and use the provided hand sanitizer stations. I also noticed more reminders by CMs as you entered a line to keep physical distance. Even on the monorail today the driver told everyone to keep their face covering on.

I still see high mask compliance at MK.

We visited Tom Sawyer Island today. We saw Chip and Dale there! They came off one of the rafts so maybe they are riding by on the rafts waving at guests in Frontierland. The playground area, and barrel bridge are closed. The area where kids can climb up and shoot the guns was open.

Still minimal lines, but feels a little busier than earlier in the week. People Mover isn’t open, but I did see it running for a bit.

If the NBA interests you then when riding the monorail past the Grand Floridian you may be able to spot a few players. We saw two walking back to their rooms, and saw another player sitting on his balcony while eating lunch at GF quick service yesterday. They are also selling Disney basketball merchandise at GF. They have a basketball loungefly back pack as well.

The articulated buses must also be parked and not running right now either as they need the far row of stops due to their length. I'm sure there is no need for the extended buses with the reduced park capacity right now.

That’s good! I printed mine out for next Tuesday and the park, date and time we blank.

I haven’t seen any of the articulated buses at the resort or park, but when I left MK today, not everyone could fit on the bus to come back. There were 5-6 parties who had to wait for the next bus.

No need to print anything. If you have it in MDE then the Mickey head on the tapstile will turn Green and you are in...

Still doing them at Bay Lake. They just look inside

Is Enchanted Rose at the GF still closed?

 

[Dave006]

The Disney Experience Update page shows that the Enchanted Rose is open.

Thank you! I saw some posts on Twitter also. Looks like it reopened 7/5. Just missed it, darn!

Yep, they are doing them at Contemporary. They came in while we were napping a bit ago.

Really?

Question to hopefully avoid having my kid seem obnoxious: How is the current loading system set up for, “Can I have my own_ (row/ clam/ honeypot, etc.)” Would it be easy for one person to have their own row on Big Thunder, for example, while the other person is in the row behind, or would this terribly slow down the line? I definitely don’t want to be *that* person, but I know that he will see the low crowds and beg me to ask the CMs. I want to be prepared with the reason for saying no .

Any word yet on lightsaber making opening? I scheduled the 3 kids for the droids but 2 of them would really rather do the lightsabers. Also, if I get a BG for RTTR that overlaps with the droid time, will I really get charged if I cancel the droids the same day?
