NEW Discounted MagicBands Added For Disney World Hotel Guests and Annual Passholders!

 

[Chris Ehlers]

Agree - the July 4th Holiday will be WDW's first "big test" with increased crowds and possibly new in park reduced measures. Disney will need to gauge how things are going leading up to Oct.

We will be down there the 7/3-10 and we have been saying all along that they will be testing at least Harmonious on the 4th! so we have Epcot booked specifically for that. We also are staying at BLT with the hopes of a surprise MK display of some sort. fingers crossed

I mean, the droid one might appeal to a teen boy. But honestly there’s not that much variety in the discounted ones from that post anyway.

I am banking that you are absolutely correct on Harmonious! I think this is the critical date (July 4th) for the testing of the new show. A lot of things have been leading to this and I would not be at all surprised to see this happen. Of all the parks, Epcot gives the best distancing for fireworks. And staying at BLT - I am hoping you get those surprise displays from MK - that would make for one awesome addition to an amazing vacation!

The Monster of Ceremonies and your son just don't seem to meet Eye to Eyes about comedy I guess.

Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel Reopening June 15

Look at how that date is the same one that the Governor has said they'll lose the tiers... which would make out of state folks able to visit...

Anxiously awaiting Port Orleans opening! Hoping for two rooms in November. Hopefully it’s not a pipe dream.

I mean why would they create a special party logo if there was no party this year?! Things are looking up!

 

[mrsap]

I believe I posted this about a week or so ago through another blog, but I’ll re-post just in case anyone missed it, since it has been brought up again.

Signage Installed to Assist Guests With Bluetooth Linking of On-Ride Photos

I didn't say they would reduce wait times - they will most likely increase. The physical line will become shorter - people will be standing half the distance closer to one another.

Big thing is more of the wait will be indoors rather than out in the sun and heat. Making the waiting a bit more bearable.

Last year was supposed to be 25. It's entirely possible that logo waa done prior to march or soon after things closed given when they normally announce things.
