DPB JUST POSTED

I had seriously given up for the night and the adrenaline was wearing off. I'm too old for this.

I kept thinking this too - we went in Aug. with my parents and they brought my nieces and my dad was Veteran of the Day then a month later we took a surprise trip with just our kids to MNSSHP. I'm bummed about BBB because DD ages out (yes she's 12 and loves going there - but no longer princess dresses)- but at least this past trip she finally got her wish and was able to do it with her 2 cousins so we can look back that it went out in a great way. Not too long ago I helped my cousin plan her first trip for this coming December with her 3 kids - now I'm wondering what it will be like for them too

I had a trip planned in late February that I almost canceled because my travel companions could not go. Decided on a whim to still go on my own and things were already getting a little dicey by the end of my trip. But I had gorgeous weather and only did all the Disney things I love to do. Small World is my sentimental favorite ride and at Moonlight Magic I rode near the end of the event and I was the only person in the building other than the CMs. It was surreal! I flew home on 3/4, got back to work a few days later where we were already freaking out about our own closing plans. Closed my work down at the end of the day on 3/12 and the world’s been crazy ever since.
I am so thankful I talked myself into taking that trip alone because who even knows when I’ll be able to take anything that feels like a regular vacation again!!

Good thing we pre-panicked over this.

 

[e_yerger]

Well i’m okay with this. But it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

 

[JaxDad]

Just think of the reopening cupcakes they're already working on.

 

[andyman8]

Oh, this isn't everything. There's still more to come, but this is the bad news for the most part.

That's what I was thinking

I think what’s next should give clarity on resort operations.

 

[skeeter31]

Yay! I’m excited. No FP actually entices me to want to go.
And dining it sounds like will be back, just closer to park opening once they know which restaurants will actually be open.
But a full slate wipe for now.

 

[kverdon]

It’s up. No FP+ for the near future

 

[Farro]

End of year, not Sept 2021!!! Phew.

 

[chicagoshannon]

Well there goes the lightsaber and droid my kids have been saving up for for over a year!

 

[tcherjen]

These 3 words coming from you give me anxiety.

Me too!!
I have been stalking what you say for weeks!!!!

 

[osufeth24]

I don't hate the dining res being cut down to 60 days (especially if that stays permanent)

 

[OnceUponATime15]

Ugh. Where's Sven when you need him.

Sven/Finn/Flynn lucked out and is sitting in the castle suite having a beer and watching this whole darn thing play out!

Well played #SFF .... Well played.

No. Just being modified to a different system to mamage crowds at each attraction.. This is all part of the new norm for the foreseeable future. Get used to it. The 30 day window will start rolling early July once the first 3 phases of the plan goes into place. I wasn't joking yesterday when I posted. I laid it out for those who paid attention.

 

[e_yerger]

60 day dining window. Like Disneyland........... (just sayin’)

Basically

Due to the HUGE impact having every ADR and FP cancelled through the rest of 2020 I'm sure MANY people will cancel their trips. They will utilize VQ, and have people start over with ADR since some people were positively affected by the closure changes and some negatively affected. Now everyone starts over equally.
