Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

[disny_luvr]

My goodness, I'm not on the DIS for one day and it seems I have missed a lot! I'm not sure what happened but I'm so glad mrsap started this thread. Hopefully this thread is full of dancing and positivity!

We leave in a few days for a 9-day trip staying at the Yacht Club. I've loved watching the news and updates to help me plan. Thank you for setting up this new thread!

Welcome to our Little
Disney News Discussion Thread!!​

Here you can chat about Disney‘s latest breaking news, construction updates, procedural changes, openings and more... along with having a little bit of fun!!! I encourage everyone to be friendly and share in the discussion of the day!! Thank You all! ☺

Thank you for starting this thread! It made me really sad to see things go crossways, and I was worried you’d say to heck with it and walk away.

I appreciate all you do to share the news and updates. And the gifs too!

So, looks like no late night mask announcement like last time. Really curious what their next move is, and if they will even address it at all.

I’m actually really surprised they haven‘t responded at all. I think they’re going to have to
...but I’ve been wrong about Disney vs. COVID before... Like insisting they wouldn’t close

Good Morning Everyone


WAIT TIMES 5/28/21

Good morning!
Yesterday's times don't look too bad overall across the 4 parks for most rides. I had checked MDE yesterday and was surprised that ToT was 25 minutes mid-afternoon. Looks like wait times for it yesterday were significantly lower than the 75+ it has been any time we've visited. We almost always rope drop it now lol.

Morning!! Yeah they haven’t been bad!!! I guess we’ll see in the next few days if the holiday weekend/week affects them!

I have a feeling Disney is waiting on Mayor Demings to make the announcement to drop indoor masks in Orange County. And the word it that the mayor will make that announcement next week. OC is at a 4.7% positivity rate for the past 2 weeks.

Yeah this is actually a spot where Disney could really still wait. The next few weeks are fully booked for theme park and resort guests who are already accepting enough of the current policies in place.

We'll see what happens though!

Way back in March of 2020 a lot of us made some really bad predictions. I was in the "Disney won't close" camp too. And then the "3 weeks and they'll reopen" camp.

I think they could for sure. Removing the outdoor restriction certainly took some pressure off. But we'll see what happens. With a trip next week I just wish I knew so I can be prepared (and manage my not always rational anxiety!)

Awesome!!! I was there opening day. I am equal part Disney and Universal, my favorite hotel is the new Surfside, being 6’7” I love the ceiling height. You may want to post this in the Universal forums as well, I’m not sure how many of us Universal fans would see this under a Disney Rumors thread.

Looks like the place to go at rope drop is Splash Mountain!

Maybe someone should start a Universal news thread over there? Could be helpful for those planning trips there too and then the news isn't lost in the Disney thread.

We're just doing one day at Universal and even that has been overwhelming to figure out when I'm more of a Disney person.

I'm surprised you say that. Universal is very simple to plan for as there isn't much planning.

Maybe it's the lack of planning that throws Disney people off? I'm already so out of sorts with my next trip because I'm used to going over my FPs, making sure they line up well with my ADRs looking over any extras (dessert parties, after hours, early morning magic, etc). I don't know what to do with myself!

We're doing both parks in one day so it's more of being overwhelmed by what we should prioritize. But I got express pass so that should help!

This! 'What do you mean I don't make dining reservations at Universal?!'
