News Round Up 2021

[TikiTikiFan]

I'm starting to feel like those of us going in the summer (especially the beginning of summer....) might be the guinea pigs for whatever announcements/changes are coming so they can prepare for the 50th.

You know, I've been feeling the same way! I'm going the 3rd week of June and I feel like we're going to be sandwiched between easing restrictions and having enough stuff open. I live in NE and the analogy I used for my husband was going to the White Mountains in mud season, kinda in between what you can do for either winter and spring/summer but sometimes you get great deals! (That last part doesn't really apply, of course...)

If that's true, it's looking pretty good for those of us with trips in September.

We are headed down for the week after July 4th - so, I am hoping any major adjustments will be made by July 4th or right after.

FIRST LOOK: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 25th Anniversary Logo

“Now, we should stress that just because we have this logo, and that things are looking like they might lead to an announcement about the return of Not-So-Scary this year, this is in no way confirmation of the event…yet.”

Looks like I'll be booking a trip as soon as they announce dates

Again, looking pretty good for those of us going in September.

Good news on the ER and emergency care, etc. We were down there once and my mom got the flu. Would have loved something so convenient.

It is great to know they have services and facilities at the ready. Helps answer many of the ‘what if’s?’ for potential guests.

For those going in October, especially with the ‘big announcement’ tomorrow, just a heads up, it seems as if Park Passes were replenished for October if you want to get a head start...

If they were to increase capacity, it would show up as... more available park reservations. A few days ago @mrsap posted an apparent reservation drop like this for the whole month of July as well.

What if; capacity has already been increased starting 7/4, they're just about to announce it.

Right there with you!

 

[mrsap]

In the article it said they debuted it today, does that mean it's hopefully opening today or soon?

Following up with an answer to your question....

Starting TODAY at 12:30PM (ET), Gelateria Toscana will be open for all guests to enjoy!!

Ditto.

Hopefully - the 4th is a big holiday so you'd think they'd try to have things going as smoothly as possible by then! Unfortunately, we can't change our dates so we'll make the best of things!

Agree - the July 4th Holiday will be WDW's first "big test" with increased crowds and possibly new in park reduced measures. Disney will need to gauge how things are going leading up to Oct.

I didn't budget time this summer to get a costume together!!

I completely agree - I would imagine their long-term planning for the 50th didn't involve a lengthy shutdown and public health restrictions, so they really will need to test things. We've been enough that we feel like we can roll with the punches and if we miss something, it's okay - we're just happy to be together and having fun - although I am hopeful that @mrsap will do more enchanted Disney-opening dances over the next few weeks and shake some things loose!

This is my current anxiety! I'm worried our trip will be right when they start increasing capacity without enough attractions to swallow the people!

 

[mrsap]

I guess we’ll know for sure on May 13th, if and when any official announcements are made by Disney. So much we can speculate about, as far as changes to social distancing, increasing capacity, etc., but I definitely don’t want to go too far down that road when we have so many great current news announcements we can be talking about!!!
