So quick update, we’ve been here since late last night. We were supposed to check in the pop at around 7:30 PM but that thunderstorm that happened late afternoon early evening on Saturday affected our flight and we were diverted to Miami to refuel. So we ended up hitting pop at about 11:15 PM.
Let’s put it this way coming from Germany I was nervous and landing at MCO hearing how crowded it is etc. Covid, let’s just say it’s being handled differently and approached a bit differently here, than here in Florida. We landed at MCO at 9:15 PM and the place was DEAD. I was so shocked and surprised, besides the 10 people or so waiting to meet people coming off the train I could count the number of people in a second that were in the Hilton atrium.So I’m thinking hey this isn’t going to be so bad.
then we finally get to POP, self check in for the first time. And here then I was so surprised hoe full parking lots were. Especially after hearing how dead the parks were. So people must be getting rentals more.
since we got in so late and I was already stressed I changed my HS day today to AK. We weren’t able to do do rope drop but we got there at about 9 AM. Did FOP listed at 55- about 45-50. That was our longest wait the whole day. Safari,Rapids, everest were basically walk on or 10 minutes.
Keep in mind if you do plan to come indoor lines such as FOP you’re still packed together and inside breathing the same air for a long time. I observed about 95% correct mask compliance. There’s was one woman on FOP who I wanted to smack Who kept pulling her mask down and sticking her nose out but that was really the only person I noticed three lines deep on both sides. I just say not to let it bother me because you’re always gonna have this. We also noticed a lot of people were still wearing masks outside and we did often with N95s But I must say at AK today Outside you could have packets of open spaces where you could walk clearly no one near you 20 to 30 feet. And the oddest thing it was not so unbearable hot like it usually is for us we were able to sit at the harmabi? markets and eat at Pandora without dying of the heat. My daughter wanted to eat inside at Pandora but I said no way people are seated packed together. I have to say wearing and 95s outside in the heat and humidity was not that bad. It wasn’t pleasurable but sitting here in my hotel room now I’m not saying never again. Maybe because in Germany we’re required to use those to go shopping we’re just used to it, who knows.
Keep in mind others will have masks that are in various degrees of “quality”. I’m not allowed to post any Covid info or studies but you know what I mean. So if you are going and are still trying to mitigate risk, don’t depend on others doing this for you. Get yourself a quality mask.
EP was also dead even though it had the extra hour this evening. Even FW Was not packed. We would have certain bubbles of groups of people But we would avoid those. Soarin was only 10 minutes, TT25, Single rider for that it had no wait. Oddly frozen was 35 minutes still. I must say it was actually a very nice evening at EP tonight not packed at all.
Another thing,I don’t know if this is a Covid response that Disney is doing with the pool, but it’s like swimming in a chemical hazard, lol. I don’t know if they are adding extra extra amounts of chlorine but it is so disgusting and I’m posting a picture what I did to my swimsuit I’ve never had this happen to me before. Then I started chatting to some lady in the pool and she showed me her hair. She had a dyed red and now it’s orange. The pool water took out the color in her hair after one short swim. I’m attaching a picture of what I did to my suit.
I’m also attaching some pictures of the crowds.
So after one day my thoughts are:
1. if you’re someone who does rides especially indoor you’re still at a risk. Because nothing is 100% especially if you’re packed together indoors for a long time- which you will be. Mask compliance is very good- , but mask quality I question.
2. For someone who is not into indoor- mega long line rides and just enjoy walking around the park, right now the low crowds are awesome, plenty of physical distance is you look. The was so much available outdoor seating.
