Well, I was wrong. It appears the monorail is back in service. I guess it wasn't too bad.

That's great news!

Social Distancing markers are also gone from Kali River Rapids and the Safari overflow lines. They still have some directional markings for Safari.

The socially distant stickers are still at Everest.

I extended it three more days. I’d much rather be at Disney than Six Flags Over Georgia or Dollywood right now. Everyday something changes. The only sad part is that they kicked me out of Riviera this morning so I’m going to have to stay offsite since all of Disney World is booked solid.

Plus I get to abuse… I mean use my AP some more.

Also… They opened up a Backstage Safari Line!

…I hesitate to post this, but I’m pretty sure the sign outside the park said that park reservations are no longer required. I’m pretty sure that was a mistake or maybe I misread it.

YES!!! Goodbye plastic!

I’m glad that more are going away. Sadly, they’re still in use on the Safari today.

I didn't realize how fast the Disney College Program is starting. My son applied Wednesday and he found out yesterday that he got in! He starts June 28th - Jan 6 and his friend starts June 21st! I'm so excited for the kids and I'm sure this will mean that more will be available at WDW.

Wow that turnaround is insane. Huge congrats to your son! I have to think the WDW experience in August vs now is going to be MASSIVE with so many CMs starting in the next month.

Edit: Epcot just opened up for Resort Guests for tomorrow.

Edit 2: Day Guests can go to Epcot tomorrow too.

Marriott Opening Family Suites at Disney’s Flamingo Crossings This Summer

"Flamingo Crossings is the perfect area to stay for your Walt Disney World vacation if you aiming to stay close to the park but have a much larger room for a lower price than you can find at a Disney hotel."

He is soooo lucky! My niece applied a ton of times over the course of 2 years. She finally got in 2020 and was sent home 3 weeks later. Thankfully she just found out she’ll be returning June 28 with her same friends/roommates as before.
Good luck to him!

Disneyland Increases Park Hours Starting in July

 

[Mr. lncredible]

Has there been any news on Hall of Presidents reopening? I know last time it didn’t reopen till December but they upgraded a lot of lighting and equipment in the theater at the same time which I assumed added an additional delay.

I haven’t heard anything recently, but I’ll take that as a request I’ll definitely post should I see anything!!

My mom and I were just chatting about this. There is no reason it shouldn’t be running, especially with the increased capacity. Probably just a money thing, but still.
