We have several questions

[sssteele]

1-Are charcoal grills allowed?
2-What time do the boats to MK start in the AM?
3-Are they having Chip & Dale sing-along?
4-Can you dine in at Crocketts Tavern?
5-Are pool noodles allowed?

1- Campsites include a raised charcoal grill.

2- First boat times may change depending on park opening time. A number of people here have reported that the first boat departs FW ~1 hour before official opening time, though the MK entry gates also open earlier than official opening time too. Arriving at the dock a little earlier increases your chance of boarding the first boat.

3-, 4-, 5- not sure, sorry.

Note that WDW has just announced that after June 15, 2021, they're "relaxing physical distancing guidelines" throughout WDW and face coverings "will be optional for fully vaccinated Guests in most areas" except on Disney transportation, "including Disney buses, monorails and Disney Skyliner" (I'd guess enclosed boats will be the same & still require all to wear masks for now).

The relaxing of physical distancing will likely increase capacity of transportation (yay!) as well as increasing indoor seating at restaurants, as long as there's enough staff to provide services. HTH.

3. They are not having the sing a long or campfire right now but they are having the nightly movie. I would keep checking at the start of each month when they put out the activities schedule to see if it starts up in the next few months.
4. They have a few tables to eat at inside the trails end building. Currently you can just get stuff to go but you can take it to one of the tables to eat inside or outside.

Yes when you get "take out" from P&J's Southern Takeout there in the middle doors of Pioneer Hall between the Trails End entrance and the Hoop Dee Doo Review entrance, you have two choices. The first is take it back to the camper, out on the side porch picnic tables, or down at the tables by the dock to enjoy. The second is to eat inside at the Trails End tables that are set up for that purpose in the interior space where the P&J counter is. In the past P&J's has provided paper plates and plastic eating utensils when we asked.

Will be interesting to see if TE comes back as a true buffet or as an All-You-Care-To-Eat meal where food is served family style.

5. We used our pool noodles at the quiet pool yesterday with no problems.

My fingers are crossed for TE opening soon. I prefer family style!

I get it, ScarletFire, but the last time I ate at the TE buffet I got pancakes on my plate and smoked salmon with a diet Coke. Not many people will have that same plate preference. But I will take anything to get closer to normal.

We LOVED the smoked salmon we got at TE back in the day. Boy I missed the old TE.

We just left Monday, and as of then the Crocketts Tavern inside area was blocked off.

That is why I much prefer buffets to family style. I don't eat that much, but I like a large variety to choose from. I've probably had with some unusual combinations.

These are the small boats.

Agree on the opening — I prefer Buffet (but I think Disney will prefer family style )
