Changing them to what?
In recent months it has been my understanding that you are allowed to take sips while in line- as long as you are not moving.It is confusing because even the cast members aren’t clear of the rules. My sister and I had slushees in our hand as we got into line for MMRR and the cast member smiled and said, “You can drink those as long as you aren’t moving. As soon as you start moving again, you have to replace your mask”. I was actually quite shocked to hear that. So that may explain a little bit why people are eating/drinking in line as well as sitting on random benches without a mask.
I agree. There are so many who have been waiting, and eager to participate. I just hope that their anticipation and excitement will be stronger than the daily stresses. My one concern for them is the number of guests who will become cranky having to wear their masks in the heat day after day. The heat bothers me, and tends to make me cranky. But, I am prepared for what to expect. I also know that I would never treat a CM with anything but kindness.IMO,the return of the CP is HUGE.
I was there mid-April and had a car but used Disney transportation or walked the entire time I was there. The longest bus wait I had was maybe 15 min. mid-day waiting to go back to a resort and there were only 4 or 5 people in line. I noticed this pre-Covid as well. I had no problems with people taking masks off on the buses, I did see a couple of times people pull them down to sip a drink but they put them right back up. The only bus driver I had that didn't seem to do as well as he should was a Mears driver at the Dolphin. He seemed to wait a little too long to see if anyone else was coming for the bus and had some strange music videos playing on his video player next to him. I was the only one on the bus so he may have thought it was o.k.Now we had a car & decided the buses were better. (Last week) We were getting there before opening & noticed the buses get in before the cars waiting in line.
Thank you for this report as we are staying at POP in a little over a week!
I was not using the Wifi since I had read it is pretty slow. I was in our room - we were in the 50's, 2nd floor.Thank you for this report as we are staying at POP in a little over a week! Two questions for you if you don't mind: 1) For getting you ROTR boarding pass were you on resort wi-fi and did you do it from your room or somewhere on property? 2) Also how early are people lining up to rope drop parks for Skyliner/buses there? Your reports of it being crazy busy are making me wonder if we need to line up more that an 1.5 hours before opening time if we want to rope drop? TIA for any advice you can give!
Sorry it was at Tamu TamuI few posts up I noticed someone mentioned they got a cin. roll at Kusafiri in AK. I thought that was still closed, when did it open and is it open only at certain times?
Thank you for taking time to respond as this is super helpful I'm relieved to hear that the Skyliner/buses were not too crazy busy & that lines moved fast! I have already bought neck fans & cooling towels for everyone in our group as well as a few small travel umbrellas so hopefully we can handle the humidity. We are from AZ so we know HOT but know that the humidity there takes it to whole other level but hope we will survive!I was not using the Wifi since I had read it is pretty slow. I was in our room - we were in the 50's, 2nd floor.
We made it to official park opening most days by getting to the Skyliner (which we loved!) about 40 minutes early. One day the Epcot line was down and we had to go to AoA to catch a bus - we still made it before the park officially opened. The worst day was May 4th going to DHS, but it must have been the date - waited at CBR, in the sun, for a good 30 minutes (on top of getting to the Pop station early) and we had to rush to make our BG. The 2nd day we waited maybe 10 minutes and walking the whole time.
Buses were not bad at all and in the morning they had several buses waiting one behind the other for both AK and MK. We never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus from Pop.
My best advice is bring a small travel umbrella, fans, and cooling towels. Disney was making a mint from their cooling towels - you see everyone with them and they really work! I'll add this to the original post since I was so glad I had packed all of these items.

Pop resort WiFi was successful for us 3 out of 3 times when we recently tried there. (1 of us always tried data at same time but WiFi won)Thank you for this report as we are staying at POP in a little over a week!

That’s odd. What did the driver say when he pulled up to the guest shack to gain entry? Where were you dropped off?We were at Disney for two weeks just got back. We cabbed or Uber to contemporary and walked over we went to mk six times and not once was the driver questioned by security, no asking for a dining reservation none of that which I read so many times about before we went of course your mileage may vary but that was our experience we had a car but cabbed it to contemporary for mk and walked over
Crossing fingers this has changed. Would love to be able to be dropped off at a resort again.We were at Disney for two weeks just got back.
