Reminds me of a certain scene in The Shining

Perfect to wear walking down the empty halls at Wilderness Lodge.

I totally don’t think it’s fair to shame DFB for reporting what’s happening. They 100% should.

Besides it can’t be worse then what Craig just posted on the Dis instastories after checking in at the Poly. He had to remove a booger from the couch. It must have been noticeable enough to see right away during his room tour. So yeah, mouse-keeping should have caught it.

Now we just need merchandise pictures.

Lolol they have a link that says “festival merchandise,” but it only gives the locations of where it will be sold. Such a tease!!!!

The difference between mk and dhs toll entrance is that at mk they can easily divert people and have them go around towards the car center, they had us doing loops for about 30 minutes, at dhs they can't do that, that easily, they would need to divert people through the actual parking lot to loop them around
Just to add they can hold cars before the toll but it can get backed up into main roads quickly

I rented a car for my next trip to avoid getting on public transportation, but now I'm wondering if trying to be the first on the first Disney bus or first Skyliner in the morning would be less nerve-wracking.

I know exactly the part...towards the end of the movie when they’re running through the hotel & you see stuff in rooms quickly & you’re like what the hell was that?!

Yikes! That’s where we will be!

Will that cause a backup of resort buses too then?

At HS the buses use the old entrance across from the boardwalk resort so they would not be stuck in the car crowd.

If I'm staying at the Riviera is it safe to take the Skyliner?

ETA---I'm editing to clairfy---am I safe to take the skyliner to make it in time for a 10am boarding pass...or would a different transportation method be best?

I think the Skyliner is one of the better options. Only people in your group will be loaded in the gondola. Plus it’s got air movement. This may be the only occasion that guests will be glad the Skyliner doesn’t have air conditioning. The heat, humidity and natural air flow should make it safer.

All these changes... Getting rid of the Magic piece by piece... I just dont see how Disney will ever be the same again if things dont get back to normal... I MEAN LIKE THEY WAS A YEAR AGO!!!!!!... Cant do this, cant do that, have to do this, and we wont do that again... I just sit down and cried... I mean I spend everyday of my life basically planning my next trip and how it can be Magical... I feel like something has died (the magic).. And I dont want to go if I cant hug GOOFY!!!

I understand what you mean- it's tough to take but hopefully it will get better over time

I really don't want to know how he determined that it was a booger. I mean, are boogers obvious in appearance? I don't have a lot of experience seeking them out, and I'm spitballing here, but could it have been something else? Glue? Ointment?

This is a good question! Next week I will be looking for firsthand experiences so please share if you see anything (I will do same). We have a rental car so we could drive, if necessary, but I was hoping to take Skyliner.

Lol! I guess the only issue is it’s something they clearly missed at a time and when they’re supposed to be extra meticulous.

I wouldn't be surprised. I doubt it was intentional on Mousekeepings part but who knows. My husband and I stayed at Riviera on July 4 and there was a single black hair (not a downstairs hair, seemed like a head hair) on top of the bed. I saw it when we first got there, but tbh it wasn't a big deal to us because they are cleaning and it happens, and other than that the room was spotless. If it had been a downstairs hair, however, I would have def. said something

I arrive on the 19th—- I plan on taking the skyliner unless others advise differently...

 

[Disneysoule]

Wow. Here we are. .... can’t believe it’s actually opening day tomorrow!!! Anyone who is going Tomorrow HAVE FUN!! Should be a historic day!

 

[AmberMV]

So to loop back to rumors, now that Disney has released FL resident and Passholder room discounts up to September 30, do we think discounts will continue per usual for Oct-Dec? Or do we think that they are just trying to overcome the mass cancellations for these early reopening months and they will charge closer to full price towards the end of the year?

 

[Disneysoule]

Dupe

The parks open today in some countries. Its almost the end of the park day in Australia

I am going to be anxiously watching reports to see if the Skyliner will get us there early enough for HS rope drop. We will have a car also but would prefer the Skyliner if it will get us there over waiting in a car line.
