It's possible someone else in your picture took their mask off?

For some I suppose, but for others we have been the only people in our ride vehicle.

Are you possibly using old MagicBands Purchased/obtained on previous trips? I’ve heard sometimes the battery loses some If it’s power and the ride photos don’t pick up at a distance even though it works for close up taps to enter the park and make purchases. Just a thought.

Has anyone that is here gotten their magic shots and/or ride photos? We've been here 3 days and none of our magic shots or ride photos have been showing up in MDE.

Yes, we have.

They have been slow, but eventually coming. We are missing some rides.

Although one thing on the photos, make sure to check “view all” on the filters. Mine had either defaulted or at some point I switched it to “mine only” so I was not seeing anything others in my party had scanned.

Another random observation. I arrived at DAK today just after a storm/downpour. They funneled us towards the white temp check tents but it was unstaffed and somewhat confusing what to do. Given the rain and I presume close enough lightening, the Advent Health folks had been temporarily relocated all the way to the left of the new permanent security covering. So, you walk over there, get your temp check, and then move ‘across’ to security.

So, if there are storms in the area you may encounter slightly modified temp check locations.

Like all of this stuff, YMMV.

Did they have signage to direct you where to go or did you have to figure it out yourself?

No signage, but the Advent crew were waving/hollering to call you over to where they were. It was only confusing for a few seconds before I figured it all out.

Nope. Brand new for this trip. I'm going to give it another full day and if we don't have those photos by tonight I'll email.

One tip about masks since I’m seeing it discussed here, buy or make an eyeglass chain with clips. It clips right on to the elastic bands and when you stop to eat or drink the mask can rest on you instead of holding it or trying to find a place to safely set it down. We use these at the medical center I work in and it’s works great!

Is anyone streaming from Epcot today?

Nevermind...found one on Youtube.

I have read what to do with your masks while eating, but any advice on where to keep your purse or bag? On your lap?

might have to go back to a fanny pack, like I did in the 90s.

Get a SPIbelt or a FlipBelt.

Are the benches still in their usual locations? Is there any restriction to using them? Thanks!

I see they are making a comeback! They sell them on ShopDisney .com.

My daughter and I were waiting for the Carousel as RTV1 was filming this. We make an appearance at 2:49:08 and each time he passes us.

 

[DduzDis]

I think those are open. Others deeper in the park aren’t. I assume they want to dissuade taking your mask off eating an ice cream bar and such, if that’s the case it’s working.

I bought one in Liberty Square on Saturday. It was HOT so we had to eat it quickly.

Sounds like everything in the parks is pretty nice... How has the airport been? That's my big concern with MCO where you have to get on the tram with everyone and then there are bottle neck points here and there.

Wondering this too - this is my biggest fear. We have direct flights on Southwest, which isn't selling middle seats at least in August when we're scheduled, but I'm concerned about MCO. Especially sitting there on the way home.

My daughter and I had flights on SWA with a connection each way. I can say that we had no problems at all with distancing or mask compliance in any airport (to include the 2 hour wait we had in MCO following our DME ride) or on any of the SWA flights. The flight attendants are as good as the park CMs about monitoring IMO. The line for tram had already dissipated when we arrived to it as we just made it before the doors closed. The were two other people in our car and we were on the other end of it from them. No distancing issues there either.

Does Security still have a "bags" and "bagless" line? Or does everyone walk through the same line?

I had a bag but went through with everyone else. But, they don't go through your bags anymore. If your bag sets off the alarm they move you to a different table and you empty it. I only had to do this once in our 4 park days. No worries. Still easy breezy.
