If you're in the extended/outside portion of the queue, you can eat or drink, you can't once you get to the main/indoor portion of queues. But if you're stationary and distanced, a quick bite or sip shouldn't be a problem.

Once inside the main queue (e.g, past the entrance ‘wait time’ clock for standby where CMs are standing) eating and drinking are not allowed.

Went back to MK last night from the Contemporary, this time taking the monorail vs walking. It actually took longer.. about 20 minutes overall vs just walking there but if we have the amenity, we should use it.

Had dinner at Skipper Canteen. So good. They had a new pork satay skewer as an off-menu appetizer along with the Brazilian cheese bread. Delicious. This is definitely becoming one of my fave restaurants on-property. I'll just wait until they expand the menu again with a couple more options.

Love these later closing times (MK 10pm last night) because wait times really start to drop after 8pm, except for Pirates which was strangely our longest wait of the entire day at 30+ min (posted 50 then dropped to 40 while in line).

They are really distancing on the boat rides so that causes the lines to be longer, plus no plexiglass which is great. I prefer to wait longer than to have an inferior ride experiences and seeing thru some hazy plastic.

That's why the first sentence is there. Isn't that what it says?

Sorry, I misunderstood your message to read that it was okay to eat and drink in the indoor queue as long as your stationary and distanced which is no longer allowed.

MMRR, RotR, Frozen, Safari, Jungle Cruise, Smuggler's Run, Living with the Land are a few that have plexiglass. I know there are others. There are a couple others like Tower of Terror and Soarin that have it between, but wouldn't really affect viewing on the ride.

Do you feel the plexiglass is no big deal, or does it alter the ride experiences?

In our experience it did not alter the ride experience too much other than Frozen. That one is BAAAAAD. I will not ride Frozen again until the plexiglass is removed. It has smears of dried water all over it and if you get stuck in the middle two rows and have a party of 4 the inner two seats are super claustrophobic feeling IMO. I felt like I was having a mild panic attack the whole time I was on it. The other rides were ok. I’d rather not have the plexiglass but given the reason for it, it did not diminish the ride experience too badly—just a little glare on it on MMRR and ROTR.

Living with the Land is also terrible - it's really, really obstructive. We rode a 2nd time and asked to wait for the front of a boat just so my daughter could really experience it. Other than that, none of the plexiglass rides bothered us at all (we didn't ride Frozen though.)

It affects your experience if you are taking photos. There’s some glare from lights on the plexiglass.

Ooh maybe it’ll finally stop those folks who insist on taking flash photographs on rides.

Hello! We will be at MK Wednesday 3/25. How many times can I hope to ride PP with a reasonable wait right now? It’s my littles favorite.

Because people NEED food that badly? They just can't wait? Bless their hearts.

What's awesome is that you purchase far superior phots of the rides! And, you get to enjoy the attractions AND not take away form the exerience of others with flashes. Check it out. You'll have a much better experience at the parks.

Some people very well may, thats not my place to judge. But sips of a drink can absolutely be necessary in warmer temps. Doesn't bother me a bit if they are stationary and distanced in the outdoor/extended portion of queues, as the rules state.

I'm not sure why you chose to not read that whole post. The poster clearly lead with once you're in the main part of the line yoy can't. The poster stated before you get to the main line you can (you're also already socially distanced outside at that point.) They're not incorrect; they specifically and clearly stated the accurate information

Eta: I see where you later posted you misunderstood...I'm still not sure how it wasn't clear in the beginning, but currently what the OP posted are the experiences in the parks at this time.

For us it wasn't that - it's just frustrating to have to sit down and eat somewhere when you know you could be standing in the long lines instead and doing both at the same time. I totally get the rule and 100% support it, but I think a lot of the pushback is the time factor.

Yea I agree. The people who were just continuing to walk and eat their full meal were part of the problem and that I don't agree with. But just stopping and taking a quick bite shouldn't be an issue. But I understand why the rule was changed and agree with at least allowing it outside.

Because she doesn't want her or her family to get COVID and the country is still filled with people who don't want to wear masks. There will always be THAT family who have a little box of raisins and need a "sip" (god, I hate that term! Because America the country of the Super Size everything daintily taking a sip), whipping their masks off for as long as they can get away with it; some for no other reason than to prove a point.

I'm headed down in a few weeks and I will make a scene e v e r y single time I encounter someone without a mask properly worn and that includes those precious children. WEAR THE MASK or stay home.

Becuase she doesn't want her or her family to get COVID and the country is still filled with people who don't want to wear masks.

So even if they are abiding by the rules in place, you will make a scene (because those eating/drinking in the extended queues, with their mask pulled down are following the rules)? I sure hope not.
