News Round Up 2020

[FrankieWinthrop]

Hmm, guess individual experiences will vary but we were there leading ito that weekend and we couldn't get same day FPs for basically anything. Like I would check in early afternoon after we used up our first 3 and the app would say there are literally not FPs left for anything in the park
We were 5 people maybe that impacts things? Or maybe crowds just did get better for the actual weekend vs mid week of that week

Agreed. We were there from Friday through the Tuesday after President's Day. We're typically rope drop to fireworks folks, but both Sunday and Tuesday at MK we called it and left. Sunday, we went to the hotel for a nap and a dinner at Giordanno's then went to the Contemporary to watch HEA after a big rain. Afterward, we walked to MK and did more in that hour and a half than we'd done all day! On Tuesday, we'd planned to leave after the parade to drive home, but left around noon, instead, because there was a 45 minute wait for the Tea Cups and we didn't want to just hang out for 3 hours. We're a party of 4 and getting additional FP+ was few and far between. Even with drop times, the only good things we picked up during the whole weekend were Slinky and Festival of the Lion King.

Fun! And now I have the hot dog song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in my head...

We were a group of 3, so that might impact things. But we saw everything available the days we were there. Every now and then it would say none available, but then a refresh would then show lots of choices.

actually got a chance to ride this over President's week and forgot how fun of a ride it is. Not the greatest thing ever but I think it gets undervalued a bit (though may have been a whole "absence makes the heart grow fonder" scenario)

682 of these have been built with some variations since 1949. Perhaps overlooked among Disney attractions, but they remain wildly popular across the globe.

Boy, I would be cussing out Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer under my breath if they made me do that. (That's a very Orlando Airport specific joke for those that drive to WDW.)
