News Round Up 2020

I can't wait for this to be built. I'm looking forward to getting back to Universal once this opens.

I’m hoping it will be open when I go in April. I’m a universal trip every 3 years type of person, but go to WDW multiple times a year.

Apologies if this was posted but I hadn’t seen it here and I thought others would find it interesting: Universal Orlando confirms that they are opening at 35% capacity:

35% is pretty good!

I also saw that Universal now has a no mask zone in City Walk between the 2 parks. Chairs are set up in groups of 3 with at least 6 ft between each group.

I like this idea as people can purposely go there and take of their masks once seated.

Earlier today someone mentioned it might be okay to take of masks while taking pictures in front of the castle. I hope this doesn't become a thing as it's one of the most congested areas at Disney and being the 'hub' people need to filter through there.

Set aside locations to purposely choose to go to remove masks makes a lot more sense and I'm sure will be well used.

LOL, can you imagine the tan lines we'll have after our next Disney vacations?

Shanghai says it's ok to take off masks for pictures. So if you go by that Disney will allow pictures without masks.

I would actually like if Disney does something similar. It's more close to the old Fastpass system and just seems like a fairer way to distribute Fastpasses.

Good news! I need Bioreconstruct to get out in his helicopter now and let us know what is still on and what's still stalled.

They cant' call it fast pass because their fast pass system is a paid system. I would suspect this would be similar to what our virtual Q would be.

Some Disney Springs restaurants are now accepting reservations up to 60 days out. They are bookable on the Disney website.

I was just able to book a dining reservation at Chef Art Smith's on August 1st.

I know people were curious about this before (forget which thread specifically), but here are some views of the new Jurassic Park coaster from the Three Broomsticks area and then the Hogsmeade Bridge

I'm pretty amazed at the MLS and NBA news. It's a huge get for Disney. If they can properly manage it, it's great for PR and should be big for ESPN as well.
