What a lovely story, thanks for posting that! I love that they dedicated the flag-raising ceremony to him...

Get your tushes over to Frozen and get the plexiglass off that ride ASAP, Disney!

The plexiglass on that ride is the absolute worst offender!

And they gave him a shadowbox for the flag.

This is what I came here to see! Woo!

I’m not overly emotional, especially with Disney stuff, but to see the first pics of people walking down Main Street without masks did me in. Like this thing really is coming to and end and the relief is too much!

Disney World Hiring More Cast Members from Lifeguards to Housekeeping

I expected Disney to take their sweet time wading back into normalcy since they were so overly cautious in the beginning, but they’re unexpectedly jumping right back in. Now I feel so greedy like I want POR/POFQ and all dining and everything normal! Well, as soon as they can staff it and get it running

Man this week has been nonstop with "returning back to normal" news. I'm almost half expecting firework news soon but don't want to get my hopes up!

Bring back that resort package delivery!

I'm a bit of a shopaholic and I always go nuts buying things at Disney. Which always ends with us having to trek back to the lockers in the middle of our day so I can put my stuff in it while my son rolls his eyes. I would be in heaven if that perk returned.

Disney World Cast Members Will Be Required to Wear Face Masks Outdoors Despite Change for Guests

That's a raw deal for them, especially since I suspect a higher percentage of them are vaccinated than the general visitor. They should give them the choice and not be holding them to the initial bring back rules with the union. No one can predict when things change lately.

(I’m sure the mods here are breathing a sigh of relief! )

Oh no, now there will be arguments about why we have to wear them indoors or on transportation

Yes, the union went way overboard last year fighting for things no one ever asked for or wanted with zero flexibility. I am all for workers rights and unions looking out for the little man. But sometimes they are tone deaf. Crowded maskless break rooms with people talking and eating all over the place a-ok, but make sure we force thousands of CMs to wear masks back stage and on their break outdoors no matter what for a year. Cool.
