I bought some from Love your Melon and thought the mask felt far too tight with them, I preferred the loops around my ears to feeling like I had rubber-band around my head!

If you wear a hat such as baseball type cap. You can sew buttons on the sides for the loops. It will give your ears a little relief without being too tight.

Genius idea.

Just got off of the phone to change my reservation and park hopper tickets. I was advised not to change my tickets just yet because changes may be made by September and I may still want those tickets. (She said if it is getting closer to September and it still doesn't look like park hopping will be an option to then call and downgrade.) Wondering if anyone else was told this? Personally, if they don't extend park hours by then I won't want the park hopper option anyway, haha.

No, when I spoke to guest services to switch to an open hotel she saw I had hoppers and asked if I wanted her to take care of that. I said, "I guess there's no way you'll be able to park hop in September, huh?" And she said no. I don't see how they can do it along with the park reservation system and reduced capacity.

I was told that back in June when I called and added a day to my tickets. I left the park hopper on at the time. Our trip is next week so I called this past Sunday and asked them to remove the park hopper portion. I asked if there was a possibility we would be able to park hop by our trip and the CM said no.

From what I can tell, new tickets currently being sold for the rest of 2020 don't even offer the option of adding park hopper. It appears that park hopper is available for 2021 tickets.

Just FYI, I have a trip scheduled for October, and just got a survey last night about the rules of operation, asking how sure I'll go and what is preventing me from being "all in."

Our TA was also told this when she called to switch our hotel from the currently closed WL. Our trip isn't till the last week of September/first week of October. She advised me that the CM she spoke to said to hang onto the hoppers until closer and if hopping was still not available we could get a refund at that point. That conversation happened around the time they listed the hotel opening schedule.

I think this is the third time that I've gotten this survey. Though, I believe they added something to the list of reasons I might cancel: enforcement of Disney's rules.

Temperature screenings at the restaurants. Darn no sitting in the hot tub before dinner.

It's official. Disney has no clue what the word rule entails.

I was told this as well back in June when I had to get things all switched around.

What’s rope drop like now? Are you still allowed to enter parks earlier - after they open parking lot 45 min prior to open? Are there CMs waiting at entrance of lands to help form the queue?

It's interesting to see who does/does not receive these surveys. We have 2 trips booked in the next 6 weeks and I haven't received a single survey. Wish I had!

I have a question I am interested in watching the daily and weekly positivity rate for Florida numbers, does anyone have a link to share that will give this updated information thank you

Hi @sheila14, the information you are looking for is at

http://floridahealthcovid19.gov
At the top of the page, click the "See latest data" button which will bring you to the most recently posted numbers.

From there, scroll down a bit and below the "See dashboard" button, you will see a link that says "See State Report". That will give you a PDF with graphs for the daily numbers for the last two weeks, along with a lot of other data.

Sharing a helpful link to a local official website to track virus info is OK as that is something travelers may want to monitor for their trip planning, but further virus specific discussion is best suited for the Community Board. Thanks all.
