I agree-I am happy to hear the OP has mild symptoms thanks to the vaccine! Stay healthy everyone!

I wouldn't say they have stayed mild now a few days in- it has been a bit rough overall but I am thankful for the vaccine and the peace of mind that it should protect me from severe disease/hospitalization. So far the rest of my family is still well!
 
After being stopped every single time I entered a park and being told each and every time that I needed to remove my eyeglass case and camera (had already done that), I had enough. When re-entering Epcot at a very quiet time and being screened again, I had the security guard remove everything "suspect" from my Baggallini and left the items with him and my husband. I walked through the scanner again and yep--it went off.

We then removed everything from the bag--ding, ding, ding--went off again. No one has an answer why this bag (pictured in my avatar) continues to sound the alarm. They say that it is my chest area raising the machine hackles. The bag has a zipper in the crossover portion of the strap which would be in that area. There are also heavy metal rings that allow for adjustment. Security said no, that wouldn't cause it--no resolution for me unless I ditch my favorite park bag ever!

I have resigned myself to additional screening and listening to the same spiel each and every time--"it is your eyeglass case" or "it is your camera"--I gave up removing them because it makes no difference. :confused3

my bag also sets off the metal detector every time. I just deal with the extra screening too.

My mother in law set it off every single time. We laughed. I did take my enormous sunglass case out and I was fine after the first time.
 


Gran Destino Tower. I'll let PP answer for sure, but sounds like MK was their first park and didn't get there til after 1.
Correct. First park was MK. Checked in and essentially left after about an hour so. After 2PM went to HS.

In line for Tower right now. Crowds are light. Wait is about 15 minutes according to Touring Plan (who I find are more accurate than Disney)

Also wishing for a quick turnaround for @disneymom0104

I hope you feel better. My cousin and her family went a few weeks ago. I picked them up from the
airport. 2 days later she called she wasn't feeling well. She ended up testing positive. She had a
rough several days and on the mend. If it is any consolation at all no one else in her family fell ill
and all tested negative twice. Get some rest and be well.:)
 


I know that there are boats that run between WL/FW, GF, and Poly but I don’t remember there having been boats running between CR and MK...
There were definitely boats between MK and all the MK resorts pre-vid. I can't speak to when they stopped running boats to and from contemp and MK (or a boat that included contemp as a stop) or when they stopped running boats between contemp and the other MK resorts, but they are currently not running any boats from anywhere to or from contemp.
 
After the closure when the boats were brought back late July 2020 Contempary wasn't included. Not sure if then or shortly after the resort boat launches in front of MK were switched around, putting the Poly/GF/MK loop on the left.
 
FYI, CR did not have MK boat service pre-COVID. It DID have CR-WL-FW service (what is known as the “Blue Flag launch”) - that is the one boat route among the MK resorts that has yet to return since reopening.
That boat was a huge plus in owning CCV. Couldn’t be that complicated ($) to restart it.
Same with the SSR boats.
BRING BACK THE BOATS!!!!

The red flag boat from Wilderness Lodge to/from the Magic Kingdom IS currently running.

The blue flag boat is not, although I believe there is a boat to/from Ft. Wilderness and the Magic Kingdom.

There’s also the little boats between Poly and the MK and the GF and the MK. They used to be a combined, triangular route, but they’ve separated them into individual routes.
