Bid early so you know you'll be outbid.....

I don't remember the can decor......will need to recheck

Good advice! I haven't even figured out how to set up an account to bid, so maybe that's for the best...the picture with the castle in the background has one with some nice details! Looks a little more royal than the others!

Never really understood why this was closed......unless they kept it that way for the use of the Que for Buzz

maybe they are getting ready for shorter distancing between parties in the queue? (3ft?). Was this open pre-COVID? I thought it had been closed for a bit, but maybe I just never went...

Awesome, I hope so. I was actually (oddly) just thinking about this earlier today on my walk, lol.
More things definitely need to be opened, it's beyond time, Disney!

IIRC we went in January 2020. Usually, this is one we'll hit up.
It was running for the Halloween parties in 2019 as a candy stop and it was more of a walk-through than a sit-down show.

Another reason may have been that the Equity actors who perform the audience participation segments were furloughed. And we have no idea what backstage is like for them - maybe they couldn’t stay far enough apart from each other to be safe. Some of the reopening changes were made to protect the CMs; it’s not just about us guests.

I'm think I read somewhere that the room the actors work in is too small for social distancing.

I think they may also want it open for summer to tie in to the new "Monsters at Work series coming in July to Disney+.

Disney World is Reducing Physical Distancing

“According to the Walt Disney World website, Disney World will be reducing physical distancing across their theme parks and resorts. Here is the latest from Disney:

Temporary adjustments are still in place to promote physical distancing. While we will reduce physical distancing measures for Guests across many areas with a gradual, phased approach, six-feet distancing measures will continue in all dining locations, merchandise stores and in areas where Guests can temporarily remove their masks.”

Maybe you need to do midweek dances more often....

Called it! Once Universal did it, it was only a matter of time.

Edit to add: This seems like another good way to start for Disney. Slow and gradual, see how it goes and adjust as needed.

This is hopefully one the of the things they need to start opening more attractions. I still don't see them increasing capacity without more for guests to do.

Noted!!!!! You guys are really making me work!!! ...but I got you guys!!!!

I feel like 3 feet of physical distancing in lines should just be a typical common courtesy. I don't think I ever get that close to people to get all up in their space unless it's in a spot Disney forces you to clump up haha.

Rey’s Lightsaber Now Available in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

I plan on hitting Dok-Ondar's in Nov and really hope the Cal Kestis (Jaro Tapal) saber is released by then. But if Rey's saber is still available later this year I'm probably going to end up spending more that I planned in getting both. I heard they discontinued the Ahsoka 'Rebels' sabers with the launch of her 'Clone Wars' ones ... which is a shame as she uses the 'Rebels' version in The Mandalorian and the planned spin-off series

I agree. 3ft is pretty close to "normal" queuing behavior for me. But at least now the CMs won't be shouting: "take all the available space"!

I’m going to patiently wait for the new ‘real’ lightsabers to come out!!!! I don’t know what the hell i’d do with it, but I really want one!!!! Also, I’d LOVE for them to make ‘Evil Rey’s’ lightsaber!!! I’d be all over that!!!!! That thing is sexy!! I lost my mind when I saw that in the original trailer!! Again, I have no clue what I’d do with it, but I’d definitely be the baddest “B” on the block!!!

So... are you requesting a mid-week full on dance routine?!? Might take me some time to whip something up. Choreography is an art. Art takes time!!!!!


...Give me about a half hour.

You work wonders!
