News Round Up 2021

The news I've been waiting for! At times the parks can feel like all you are getting is 3 feet. This is huge for getting more things open again and obviously increasing in capacity limits.

How is this possible? How can you make a park reservation without tickets or an annual pass? I know that when we had unredeemed annual passes and hotel reservations, we could make as many park reservations as hotel days. However, once our APs had been redeemed, I had to buy tickets to cover any new park reservations after the AP renewal date, because it's still too early to renew the pass Supposedly, I can use the cost of the tickets toward the renewal price, but I am sure I will be sitting on the phone all day trying to do it.

We have flexible-date tickets that we've carried-over from cancelation last year. They don't require "confirming" a date, and the Park Pass is unrelated - so I'm not sure how that's going to work. Hopefully I don't get my Park Passes removed....

If there is any issue, you will receive an email if you do not have a valid admission attached, and they give you a chance to get/add passes if that is the case.

Thanks for the info. With the flexible-date tickets, we don't have valid admission attached to any particular dates, but we do have Park Passes reserved for 5 days, and flexible-date tickets that are valid for 5 days within any 14-day period. Hopefully that's good enough...

I think it should be. If you had 6 days of reservations that would likely trigger this process

Skydiving museum will take Central Florida to new heights

"The museum will also have the first horizontal wingsuit tunnel in the United States. Officials estimate more than 100,000 people will come from all over the world every year to experience the thrill from the ground."

For me, the VR experience(s) will be more than enough.

Cruise ships set to return to Galveston this weekend in hopes to welcome passengers this summer

"This Sunday, two Carnival cruise ships will return to the port.

In Galveston, there's $115 million in local spending, with 3,638 jobs tied to the cruise industry. While ships set sail in other countries, Galveston lots could remain empty for months."

And for you late night visitors/guests at the the central Florida theme parks, later tonight (or actually early tomorrow AM) look east. Weather looks iffy.

I still don't have the guts to do real skydiving, but I did the iFly wind tunnel on Royal Caribbean's Quantum a few years back ... I got my butt kicked (flipped into the wall), but it was an amazing experience. The wingsuit tunnel looks crazy ... pretty cool that Kissimmee will get the 1st in the US
