The Magic is Back - Share your Experience! Superthread

I have been teary eyed all morning since I woke up. From the opening ceremony to watching the live vloggers at the turnstyle, the countdown. Living vicariously through you all and can't wait till we can visit from out of state.

The whole of Main Street is lined with CM's, both in uniforms and suits, guests being clapped in right from the turnstiles all the way down to the hub, Josh Damaro, and other top suits are also out on Main Street

Update on new updates to Haunted Mansion

Social distance markers where you need to stand in the holding room, looked like it was only 4 or 6 markers, 1 marker per party.

Social distance markers in the Stretching Room, only those who were in the holding room allowed in the Stretching room, so thats either 4 or 6 parties.

Have fun everyone who is there today! I am living very vicariously and can't wait to get there in early June.

I just fist-bumped with Josh D'Amaro at the head of Main Street. Also saw two CMs I know. Day is off to a great start!

The rides are already up and running

Watching a live stream, the guy is at Pirates. He took the right side line, from the base of the tree to the loading area was about 15 minutes.

Just got confirmation that they are NOT checking ids

My cousin and his family are there and said the same thing. I'm surprised!

So happy to see this thread in action! I love watching the 'here and back' thread for WDW so makes me so happy we'll have a DLR one too.

Crowds are light... but it’s nearly an hour wait for Haunted Mansion, 25 minutes for Pirates. I thought lighter crowds meant short lines. Maybe. But lines move slowly.

Rode PP first. It was about a five-minute wait. Then Toad (walk-on) and Dumbo (two-minute wait). Haven’t been on Snow White yet. Perhaps I’ll try that on Sunday. Long lines.

On Sunday try for haunted mansion and pirates first! An old co worker is at DCA and has walked on to cars

any suggestions for good twitter feeds to follow instead of live vloggers?

Thanks for the confirmation about the IDs. Someone stated before opening that CMs were getting trained on checking IDs. I guess that was bad info?

I would strongly advise that people wait to see what happens throughout the weekend before "confirming" anything about IDs.

It's not uncommon for the gates to behave differently (ie, skip steps) when there are hordes of people outside. (This happened frequently in the early run of ROTR opening when things got backed up.) What happened this morning may or may not represent what happens this weekend.

Ok I admit it I cried

Yup. This. Also, don't expect the park to open an hour early EVERY day. It happened today. It will probably happen tomorrow and Sunday, and then probably won't happen again after this weekend.

I did too, watching some livestreams. But it wasn't tears of joy, haha. I want to be there today!
