I'm seeing that DS closes at 10pm but someone here said midnight. Which is correct?

On the MDE app it says open 10am to 10pm

Okay, thanks! We might use the buses to and from resorts and DS for evening dining or resort exploration since we'll be there a few evenings when parks start closing even earlier.

I highly recommend a rollator. I rented a Vive rollator last year from Gold Mobility and ended up liking it so much I bought my own. I only use it for long outings like Disney parks, the zoo and airports. At home I usually walk with no assistance except for a cane for uneven sidewalks sometimes. At Disney the rollator is very handy for sitting on in lines and while waiting for shows and quick service food and balance on uneven pavement, also for holding things like a stroller used to be when I had little kids. I am only 57, but I have one bad ankle from a previous break and a weak knee. The Vive also folds differently than others rollators, so it can stand stably while folded and looks more sporty like a bike.

Coolbrook: I'm curious as to the cost to rent one from Gold Mobility? I have been thinking about this for my husband to use, as he had back surgery and is unstable on his feet at times. I'm glad to hear you liked so much. Thanks

Not sure if it was posted here already but the summer, rainbow and Americana collection are 30% off and you can stack any other discount on top of that

Of late, have there been any noticeable differences in ME wait/travel times from MCO to resorts?

If anything, it's quicker. Hard to say from our limited experience. We arrived on a late flight and had our own private van - no waiting. On departure we were picked up at BLT first and we stopped for one group each at Wilderness lodge, Poly and Grand Floridian. The bus was not full by any means.

We arrived Wednesday at 9:10am. Sign said 60 minute wait however we literally walked right on a bus. We stayed at Kidani and had Pop,CBR,Riviera and Beach club before us so it was about an hour to get to the resort but I’d rather be doing that then sitting at MCO

There’s a sign out front saying wait time could take up to 60 minutes just FYI. We waited about 15 minutes.

Here now. Disney’s guidelines are really good when they work. I’m not sure what everyone has experienced. With regard to the distancing markers in the ride ques oftentimes the party ahead of us has a lot of people. If one fits in the distancing market and the rest fall in behind I’ve been leaving an extra marker between us and them. Otherwise we’d be really close. Got a really hard time about this from a CM tonight. Kept insisting I move up. When I asked her how that’s correct if that would leave approximately a foot between us she still was unrelenting.

That's what we did as well during our 7/25-8/8 stay. We left an extra mark between us if there wasn't going to be 6 ft between us. Very odd that CM was insistent about it, we never encountered that. Sorry you did, hopefully that will be the only instance.

Wow. That’s too bad.
I’d be doing the same as you.

I had that happen a few times so far, too, and once, the CM even reminded me to leave an extra marker in between because of the size in front of me. Every other time, the CM's didn't say a word.

I can't imagine they are trained to be so rigid - a little common sense is sometimes needed I would have held my ground (literally.), too.

Do you mind sharing which attraction this was? Sorry you had to deal with this.

And how long the posted wait time was at the time?

seems like extra space shouldn’t matter regardless, but just wondering if it was a more popular ride with a longer line.

 

[Lisa75]

It wasn’t long and sillily it was.....dumbo. Not a long time to deal with it but from inside to the ride load it occurred. What made the situation longer is that the party of about 6 in front wanted to wait out a ride either so they could all go together or to get certain cars I couldn’t tell. So they weren’t moving off the last marker before the ride. So not a long issue but a surprising one.

I wouldn't take this particular instance too seriously, it might have been they were trying to hit their quota for number of guests per hour and the CM was a bit eager. With all the rumors floating about certain rides closing due to not being very popular it can be understandable if the CM want to get people moving through efficiently.
This definitely doesn't happen often, I also leave 2 markers between the group in front of me and myself and have never been told to move up

Rumors about certain rides closing due to not being popular? Where has this come from?

from a lot of different people, rumors are rumors and I don't put a ton of weight in them but we already saw this happening at Universal, managers are actively taking notes of attractions that are not bringing people in, I was at triceratops spin and saw one of them taking notes, this is being done for all attractions
