Bummed that MNSSHP is canceled.

Bummed that MNSSHP is canceled.

Although my family still wanted to go without the fireworks and parade, I personally did not think it had the value anymore. (And trick or treating would have been difficult to implement).

No MNSSHP may be the deal breaker for me. I go to be able to dress up and celebrate Halloween. And considering the part is 10/31, seems a bit jumping to gun to cancel all parties and not just the early ones.

That is seriously the most Disney Parks Blog post in the history of Disney Parks Blog posts.

"Hey, F&W is starting the day Epcot reopens and will last all fall - the longest F&W ever!!

(And oh yeah, BTW, MNSSHP and H20 Glow Nights are cancelled and we don't know yet about MVMCP or Candelight Processional)."

I figured MNSSHP was done for when they changed the park hours to 7pm awhile back, but still stings to see it official. If we could only go to Disney one time of year and do one special event, it would be MNSSHP.

So much of my last 6 falls have been spent reading/following/participating (in the highs and lows) of the annual MNSSHP thread, I will miss that information sharing and camaraderie.

If this is Thursday's bad news, what's in store for Friday?!?!

Don’t even ask,,, lol. 2020 may not be quite done with us yet — I shudder to think “what next.. or what more”. Smh.

Lol, this just cracked me up. Oh DPB....

I think the silliest part was how they got all coy about saying whether the water parks are closed. Why stop at announcing they are cancelling H20? Just tell us the water parks are closed already. Sheesh.

Our platinum passes(went away after expiring April 13) are now showing up as expiring on 8/14/2020! So exciting!

That's awesome!! I'm so glad you got your extension finally. You got a few bonus days. My daughter's would have expired April 13 but her extension is until August 8. For us that's totally fine though since none of us can get off work after August 8 anyway.

They should just go ahead and announce now that the Christmas party and Candlelight Processionals will be cancelled.

I am so glad we got information about the Halloween parties, but how about the reservation system since the parks open SOON!

Not sure what you Want them to do?? The water parks have been closed and no reopening dates have been announced. Closed is closed.

Can you imagine the flack they’d take if they publicized, ‘0h and our closed water parks are...closed.’
Until they announce an official opening date, i Plan on them being closed.

 

[WEDWDW]

WOW!

Food & Wine Summer Edition!

That REALLY came out of nowhere!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but with the new mask requirement for Orange County, does this include being at pools?

I'm not sure what the ramifications are for pools or the designated 'mask-free zones' that are in place at UO & SeaWorld and were planned at WDW. I think we will need to wait & see.

I know there are exemptions that include medical conditions and exercising. Perhaps the pool portion will be considered 'exercising'? No idea.

The problem is that this info was leaked by UK travel agencies BUT Disney still has them as opening on their calendar. They updated park times but didn't take the water park hours away

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Others in the know seem to suggest otherwise, but I'm going with none of this stuff is going to be released until a few days in advance.... AP previews,

I think it is more that there has been no published public information on the water parks one way or the other. Hours for both parks currently show on the parks calendar for 7/11+. The website is silent on anything else.


Just my opinion, but I think saying "the water parks will be closed until further notice" on their website and taking off the park hours would be the cleanest/least confusing thing to do at the moment.

being in the pool? no mask. Lounging around the pool? mask

So I assume it's a glitch but my Platinum AP just got extended by.... ONE day. This morning expiration was 08/25/20 now it's 08/26/20... I'll wait a bit before contacting Disney.

Hey, me too! Mine went from 12/19 to 12/20 - so weird. And yeah, I figured I'd give it a few days to see if they fix it.
