January 2021 trip report

Everything was what we expected. The normal magic wasn't there with meet and greets from a distance. Rise of Resistance was great. A few issues with how Disney does social distancing. One day my temp check was 95.2°. What a joke, good theater but a joke. At Magic Kingdom we rode Pirates of the Caribbean with a total of 5 people on the ride. The Safari at Animal Kingdom had plexiglass between rows, only to ride Expedition Everest to have them pack every row and seat. Another joke, from one ride to another. My family definitely won't make another trip until all this silliness is over. We had a fun trip, but man Disney was all geared up for some great theater for those that need the warm and fuzzy feel to look safe.

I will tell you what the amount of polarizing trip resorts is mind blowing. I would say 80% maybe are positive in regards to feeling safe. Then the rest are hit and miss. Yours seems to fall towards the miss but you still enjoyed it luckily. It's interesting to me though and having an upcoming trip I have been rabidly reading every review and watching every video. Some people post empty streets, some don't. I am curious what dates you went though and if the days were worse over the weekends. That seems to have played a factor in most of the reviews. How were masks and distancing also (outside of choke points)?
