Am I reading this wrong or not understand what they mean? The way it's written sounds like they are putting up to 6 people in one ride vehicle, and that they are combining groups to do so. Or do they mean one "train" of connected ride vehicles and that they are putting a group up to 6 people in one vehicle, leaving an empty one and then putting more in etc, but if you have a group larger than 6 you'll not have the one vehicle between you?

I've ridden this solo tons of times and while I don't mind filling in spaces on other stuff, there's no way I'm sharing my ride vehicle on the peoplemover with anyone but my party. So I really hope it's just poorly written.

It is saying that they are loading up to 3 different parties into one ride vehicle (train), as long as each party has less than 6 people, with space between each party. So there could be 3 parties of 4 people in one train. If a party has more than 6 people, then they will put one other party in the train, with a space between the two groups. So a group of 8 and a group of 2 for example.

More restaurants and a dining plan after July 4th would be nice- though it might be a little early for that.

My request is dining!!! Casey’s, cape May, Akershus, artist point, 1900 park fare, ‘Ohana... any of those would be GREAT. Or space 220. That would work too.

Dance move wise, I'm all about the White Man's Overbite ...

Interesting article from the LA Times stating that California will not allow indoor rides to last more than 15 minutes. This will probably cause some ride and queue editing for various theme parks, especially with Rise of the Resistance. Please no COVID/political debates ... just posting the news for folks who may have missed it:

Note there does appear to be RotR spoilers in the article

Ahead of Reopening, Disneyland Softens Stance on Profanity Towards Cast Members

Ahead of Reopening, Disneyland Softens Stance on Profanity Towards Cast Members

I don't agree with that article. They changed wording to say use of profanity but removed "toward cast memebrs" which to me means they reserve the right to toss you if you use profanity at all which is more inclusive than toward cast members. I think they're making a big deal over nothing with that headline.

I didn't agree with it at first either, but seeing some of the replies on Twitter, it appears that Disney already covers general profanity in their park rules. Now, they just removed the reference to Cast Members, which I guess could be seen as softening a stance as it relates to Cast Members

But if profanity isn't tolerated, why does it matter toward whom it is driected? It's really not a big thing in this case - assuming they actually do enforce the rule at all of course.

Planning for Unexpected Disney Weather Just Got Easier

“The forecasting app WeatherBug has announced that they are working with Disney to deliver a “higher standard of environmental intelligence.” What exactly does that mean? Well, the 2 companies have signed a licensing agreement that will integrate Disney Weather Check technology into the WeatherBug app!”
