Not to drag this any further from NEWS that we already have .... LOL... a ticket discount wouldn't do some of us any good - if we have APs, or have already purchased dated tickets, either from WDW or from third party, we need to use those and have room only or free dining as incentives. I've booked and rebooked 4 trips now, starting last April, and right now, hoping that the current booking for next April holds. It would really be nice if there was a bit of Pixie Dust offered that would offset some of the closing/limits/etc.

There won’t be a one size fits all discount. Hopefully they have several promotions going at once.

[only hope]

Has it been officially confirmed that the "show" part of Savi's will be returning with just less people inside? Or will they just ditch the show/ceremony portion and have 8 or so people in there constructing a lightsaber from the pieces with the help of a cast member?

Dunno. News releases don’t mention changes other than distancing etc but neither do they mention union cm’s being called back.

Neither is surprising but still great to have it confirmed.

I'm just glad that they had already started on Epcot. So at least we got a few improvements. I think taking away the tombstones and opening up the entryway and adding back the old Pylons was already a big improvement.

And you'd think they also need to at least finish up what they were working on like walkways.

yeah, at this point maybe just clean/fix up the center part and put in some trees and shade and a new Starbuck and maybe a beer garden like mentioned in one plan, maybe do the Moana water feature and call it a day (and finish Rat and Guardians of course)

What IS the current state of EPCOT.... are there still all sorts of barriers up everywhere?

Oh rats. Our only MK day is next friday the 18th. I love the Cadaver Dans! Still, I am beyond excited to have some of the Halloween magic. Didn't expect it but happy to have it. This 4 night trip was just to satisfy my sadness of having missed Aulani this past May. Only 2 more work days to go!
