Definitely a suave ditch your family dance. I too would love fireworks. Trying not to get too excited for changes since I'm before the big part of the summer season, but things do seem to be changing faster now...

First look at Disney World theme parks with newly relaxed mask requirements

UGH!!!!, they have gone back to normal parking and not every other space and then back filling

 

[Farro]

I'm confused - no one needs to wear masks outside, even kids who aren't vaccinated, correct? Inside/queues/transportation, we all need them?

Now, if those plexiglass dividers could just come down...

And fireworks return, can’t forget the fireworks!

This is one of the things I was hoping they would realize was better even for general ops. Maybe it is more difficult for the CMs somehow, I guess they have to cover twice as much ground so that could be it. But it’s just made so much more sense than everyone trying to get out of their cars at the same time.

Yep!

 

[Farro]

Yep!

Well that should alleviate a lot of the concern people had about their children still needing to wear a mask when they wouldn't due to being vaccinated!

We need to mention this in every survey you get. We drive down in either my F250 or the Denali XL and always have someone who cant park get so close that we can open one side of the vehicle

Tower of Terror Boosts Capacity; Loading Every Row, Removing Plexiglass at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

“Tower of Terror is one of the first attractions taking advantage of the relaxed rules. While 6ft physical distancing markers remain in place throughout the queue, Disney is now loading every row on the attraction, but not mixing different traveling parties. The pre-show element remains off at this time. Some of the plexiglass that was installed in the ride vehicles has been removed.”

As I said earlier, I expect the wording of the new rules to see a flurry of changes in the next few days as CMs start to enforce them. The intent of the rules isn't always well stated on their first attempt!
