Ummm...Im not sure how I feel about this - I mean I get it that this makes it more accessible to more folks, but what if someone who is able to get on at 7am and get a boarding group then misses their boarding time because they can't get into the park on time, for whatever reason, then that means a spot on the ride is missed...

There's still the 2pm BG drop to fill in missed spots. Disney also accounts for no-shows by having back-up groups.

Any news about Mariachi Cobre in Mexico?

We saw Mariache, Marimbas, and the Jammitors in August. They played alternating shows at the American Gardens pavilion

This isn't true at all. Mariachi Cobre, JAMMitors and Voices of Liberty are all Disney performers. The third party acts have all been canceled.

Thanks for letting me know about Mariachi Cobre! I first heard them about 25 years ago in their hometown and have loved them since.

Statement from Disney regarding recent entertainment layoffs:

I feel horrible for anyone that was furloughed. We have had to do the same to many people during this pandemic due to the loss of income. It's just a fact in today's world until we are past this. My only issue is that I don't see the pandemic ending anytime soon and that people are just going to have to live with it for the next few years. I expect there will be a vaccine that will be as effective as our flu vaccine 50/60%. Most parents will not give the vaccine to their children the first year for sure. And, many others will play a wait and see on the vaccine.


With that said, I do believe most individuals will decide to get back to a semi-normal life come next summer no matter what is going on with the pandemic. I expect that Disney will start hiring back their entertainment middle of 2021 and everything back to normal by the 50th celebration. The 50th will not be as elaborate as planned or we hoped but will be back to a mostly normal setting.

Man, I hope you're right...

Am I remembering correctly that there is currently no bus service from the parks to Disney Springs?

Yes, correct.

so, with the latest round of Layoffs, is the Beauty and the Beast show at Hollywood Studios closed again? That just reopened, right? Or did it?

The show is closed, they laid off all the performers, the show had not reopened they had the GF society orchestra performing but they got fired as well

Bummer. Seems like that park really needs some other attractions to help regulate the crowds.

We are here too! We got group 21 this morning. We have done MMRR and MFSR. We were going to do SDD but then decided we will let that line calm down a bit first. We are currently enjoying some starbucks while my son does some virtual school.
