It feels like this is a panic move to alleviate some of the negative feedback they inevitably got.

100%. I would bet good money that's what this is.

just wait until she is 13 and they count her as an adult!

13??? At WDW, anyone 10 or older needs an "adult" ticket.

Disney considers children as 'adults' for dining and tickets at age 10!!!

I guess since that is all you can do at DLR right now -- shop .. that's good.

Come on now, you can get a vaccine there too!

My skills at getting FPs definitely came in handy for getting my family vaccination time slot too.

I literally said to my parents, "Getting Disney dining reservations has prepared me for this!"

I think this is good example when cost cutting controls are instituted as soon as possible.

"Also of note, Comcast execs (in the report) said the theme parks reached breakeven point excluding the pre-opening costs for Universal Beijing and despite Universal Studios Hollywood's continued closure. "

The good news is that next quarter, ALL these parks should have much better numbers when comparing this year to "same time last year."

There is definitely something said for making 2020 look as awful as you can (taking any losses that you can in that time period) so that 2021 looks better than projected (even if somewhat artifically so)

Didn't realize this was in question. Is there some context that I'm missing?

It always gets extended 1 year at a time. Nothing had been noted on the page for that benefit showing that it had been extended again for 2021 (it still showed that is was available through 2020 when I looked last week).

Maybe the transferring of momentum from one train to another wasn't just a normal test with normal results. I know them bumping during certain situations is normal, but that was definitely more force than I have personally ever experienced on it.

Disney considers children as 'adults' for dining and tickets at age 10!!!

my bad - unfortunately my kids are now way past that. at the point my youngest was 10, my oldest was 13 - and the trip was MUCH more expensive (as well as the market had improved thus price hikes at that time). Some day we will find time that we can all go again and I am sure I won't be complaining about the price - just enjoying the opportunity to be with both of them.
