Hi, fabfemmeboy.
I hope everything runs smoothly for your September trip.
I am a planner in advance for possible things, too. But probably not as good as you. As I get older, I find it more difficult to do things by myself.
I still haven't seen any ADA WDW new info.
I wonder if there is a mask that might be better for those that overheat. I'll keep an eye out.
I'll have plans to go to WDW in December.
Maybe you could take some notes of what WDW changed or worked for you or what didn't work with any new WDW changes.

The temperature checks send my anxiety through the roof because I'm afraid of being falsely-screened and not being allowed in. Those things are notoriously unreliable, especially in warm temperatures (which is frustrating because I don't object to using temperature as a gauge for entry per se, but still). We had tentatively scheduled a September trip before all this started, so I'm watching it closely. If we can, in fact, go but the rumored restrictions are in place, I would be bummed about missing ROL as it didn't exist yet the last time we were in Florida, but that would be the biggest change in our plans so I'm not too worried.
As for the chair aspect...personally I like the idea of a bit more personal space and people not trying to shove us forward so I worry about running into the ankles of folks who aren't paying attention in front of me. But then, I'm not a fireworks person (oy the startle reflex) and MK hasn't had a nighttime parade in awhile, so the proposed changes wouldn't impact my touring plan too much. Buffets were already too difficult to juggle (with the electric chair and my spastic hands and it being difficult to reach items etc.) so we already didn't do those. I am concerned about the mask making me overheat more, though so far it hasn't been a big problem when I run my errands around town. I am curious how they'll handle some things, like buses and DAS passes and such, but otherwise - for my partner and I - the changes don't seem to change too much for our usual trip plans. And honestly...and this may sound bad or strange to people who aren't used to it...but I feel like this is one of those times that having an unpredictable illness has prepared me for things. 17 contingency plans depending on how things are going that day? Check. Needing to change plans at a moment's notice? Yeah, check. A bag full of hand sanitizer, cooling devices, beverages, gloves, and tools? Check and check. If I got as frustrated any time things changed as I've seen some people getting during this pandemic, I would've lost it years ago. The resulting "can't change it, can't do anything about it, roll my eyes and roll with it" attitude has made the emotional side of this surprisingly bearable. So if we go to Disney and have to change an ADR or two, or one park hit capacity so we have to go to another...aight. At least while dealing with unpredictability, there are rides and snacks.
