I can’t breathe I THINK I JUST WOKE MY WHOLE HOUSE UP!!!! I’m full on crying

Ok... I know it’s late, but I must have rewatched this like 29 times today and every time I just laugh out loud!!!! Can we discuss these images for a minute?!?!

I just love how the guy jumps up on the girl and expects her to catch him!!!!!!!!! What the hell was he thinking??!!!!!! And the girl with the moves on the floor!!!! There’s a huge crowd of people dancing behind her and not one person notices her!!!! She just comes out of nowhere!!!!!!! I’m sorry, I’m crying just writing this!!!!

Without getting into any mask discussions. Just be aware that Universal are requiring masks from as soon as you enter the queue, which I'm guessing includes if the queue is outdoors whilst Disney has only said indoors and at theatre entrances. Just watch out if you are going to both resorts that one is operating a slightly different policy

Disney's said "upon entering and throughout all attractions" and didn't specify indoor or out for attractions. I would think that would include the queues but we will see how things on the ground actually work starting today. I fully expect tweaks and clarifications from both Disney and Universal in the next days and weeks.

First look at Disney World theme parks with newly relaxed mask requirements

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Do we think that at some point they will be changing the park hopping limitation of 2pm or is that a permanent thing? I haven't really been following that but then when I think about my plans I keep forgetting I have to factor that in!

I sure hope so! But I don't think it will change until park passes become much easier to get.

That makes sense...all so mysterious as it unfolds! I keep thinking about ditching my family in the morning to say, go to a different park, and then meeting up with them, and then I realize I can't, I need to go where I'm booked!

ETA: I do love my family and family time, I'm just an early bird and don't want to wait for teenagers!

I hope so too!!!! It would be wonderful to be able to hope freely without restrictions!!!!! I will take that as a formal request!!!!!!! I got you!!!

Actually, I was going to ask you for a Park Hopping Dance today! It would be nice to leave HS for Epcot a little earlier than 2pm!

 

[TheFloatingBear]

I hope it comes back so you can ditch your family!

Ok, that made me *actually* spit out coffee. I adore them, but they are a little pokey in the morning.

The distanced parking was so great unloading at park opening! I'll miss that!

Orange County Mayor Updated guidelines at 430 yesterday. UOR and then WDW updated within hours.

because we’re at 50%, we’re in tier two which is no outdoor masks for anyone.

here’s the official update from Orange County website.

also worth note, tier three is removal of all mandates when case positivity rolling rate is below 5%.

here’s what they said yesterday (same link above):

“As of today, 50% of Orange County residents 16+ now have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Our two-week rolling positivity rate is currently 5.7%.”
