    Is your county's school reopening a mess like mine?

    My son goes to a charter school near Boston. k-12 with 1300 students. They were the first in the state to close during the pandemic and the first to re-open with full-time in-person learning. Despite mandating masks and social distancing rules we thought they were going to shutdown within...

    Disney Genie announcement

    If I recall with Maxpass you could only do one at a time and there were times when you booked something, waited for the time to arrive and then when you went to book something else most of the stuff worth getting a fastpass for was like 4 hours away. It kind of sucked in that respect. It was...

    Behind the Attractions on Disney+

    My family and I watched them all and really enjoyed them. I liked the light-hearted, comical tone to the episodes, though I know that others, like Craig, really hated it. I'm a big fan of Yesterworld and Bright Sun videos on YouTube, which tend to take a more serious tone to these subjects, but...

    Have You Ever Had To Confront Another Guest's Poor Behavior?

    I was a witness to this so I wasn't involved but one random day at Epcot some trashy couple decided to light up their cigarettes in World Showcase by the Germany pavilion. Another guest pointed out to them that they're not allowed to smoke in the park and in return the couple hurled every...

    FYI, passports are taking between 5-6 months right now

    I hope that they're just trying to scare people away from applying. I renewed my passport back in May and it only took 4 weeks to get it.

    Star Wars Hotel Pricing

    For a little more than $6k I can fly my wife and son to Japan, visit Tokyo Disney Sea and attend the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka for the whole weekend. The price on this is just crazy if you take your Disney goggles off.

    To go or not to go…

    I came back from a 1-week trip with 4 vaccinated adults and two unvaccinated children (7 + 8). I would honestly say that even though we had a good time, it wasn't as fun/good as in trips in the past. You're paying the same prices (if not more) for an experience that is about 66% of what you...

    Beginning July 30, Face Covering required indoors, in queues & attractions, on Transportation

    I feel like Disney should just keep this policy in place until a few months after every age group is eligible to get vaccinated.

    VLOGGERS?

    There are a lot of videos of him throughout the parks in non-rest areas, mask-less while he was unvaccinated. The Disney policy at the time was that anyone vaccinated was allowed the option to go mask-less. Everyone was allowed in the park but had to mask up regardless of being inside or...

    VLOGGERS?

    I don't mind the vloggers and enjoy following a few like Tim Tracker, Nathan (Mr Morrow) and Disney Food Blog. Watching their videos helped me get through the pandemic. I did watch Adam the Woo for a while but stopped after he revealed that he wasn't vaccinated even though he had been going...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I honestly don't think they know how to handle that bar. We had a party of 6 (including two kids who couldn't see over the bar) and they gave us a spot at the bar that could barely fit 4 adults. Five minutes later another host shows up and tries to squeeze two more people next to us. We told...

    Coronado (not tower) or Caribbean Beach in August?

    I just stayed at CBR for the first time and really enjoyed it. The food at the quick service was very good and it's proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios via the Skyliner saves you a lot of time and stress. As others have said the Skyliner shutdown during thunderstorms, so that is the only...

    New Car thoughts

    If you do decide to go Cadillac, Lincoln or a high-end Jeep then I would try taking a look at certified pre-owned (CPO). I have three BMWs at home and all of them were purchased 1-2 years old, with less than 20k miles and about 30-40% off the original MSRP. In states like MA that have yearly...

    Why some don't like to mobile order?

    I'm with you OP. I used mobile order all last week and thought it was the best thing ever. It was especially nice in that they would restrict access to the actual sit-down area for people picking up orders so that there were tables available. There was no need for anyone in the party to seek...

    Walk up to Sci-Fi Drive In restaurant for dinner?

    There are about 4 tables in the back of the restaurant that are available for walk-insThat can seat up to 5 people. They're the circular tables with umbrellas. And you kind if need to be there at the right time in order to get one. I don't believe they will wait-list it. Everything else is...

    Deeply disappointed

    It seems like Disney is really short housekeepers right now . This happened to me last week at Caribbean Beach resort. Our incoming flight to Orlando was delayed 2.5 hours so we arrived at the hotel at 3, which is check-in time. We "checked in" in-person and the lady behind the desk acted as...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We would have done Smugglers Run at rope drop but we had no idea how long it would take to ride it and we had RotR at 9:10 and droid depot reservation at 9:50. I will say though that the rope drop line for Smugglers Run was so long that the actual Galaxy's Edge area was nearly empty. Everyone...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I just got back from WDW yesterday and stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort for the first time. We had two youngsters in tow (7 and 8) and 4 adults. Overall we had a great trip but like many others have pointed out the parks are insanely crowded and as expected the weather is very hot. We...
