Then there’s us kids from the 80s/90s with old and probably cringeworthy Song of the South merch collecting dust in a basement somewhere. I remember a tar baby book from my childhood that I would assume is still in my parents basement . I think I will let it stay down there lol.

lol not in my house.

I just emailed with my TA and she moved my doomed Labor Day trip to the end of the month, and I tacked on an extra day. It actually worked out to basically the same price with today's AP discount. Here's hoping things will calm down enough by then that I can go.

People are too impatient to even leave the parks before they put them up for sale. Thats disgusting

No one is going to actually pay that.

I think.

If they were smart they would bring cooler bags and dry ice to flip legit Mickey Bars on eBay. Just sayin'...

 

[TropicalDIS]

Or maybe it's a cheaper way to dress up the thorn bushes in their front yard instead of paying a landscaper?



I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff goes into storage for a few years then ends up on mecurial or whatever the site those You Are Here mugs for $200 end up on.

$200 you are here mugs?? I know they aren’t around anymore but wow!,

This is interesting to me; even in pre-COVID times, I know any QS-type (non-Disney) food place I've worked in has required gloves (in addition to hand-washing!) when handling food... but now I legitimately can't remember ever noticing before if the Disney QS CM's have worn gloves or not!

CMs do not wear gloves when placing food on trays. People who are actually handling food wear gloves. So the person that made the salad wore gloves. The cast member placing the bowl on the tray would not. That is standard. They normally don't wear gloves while filling drinks or grabbing packaged foods.

Yeah, we had a Magic Kingdom one break and I casually went to search online. I think one listing had the set of 4 for $600 maybe? Needless to say that was the end of that search, lol.

Socially distanced balcony clubbing needs to be a thing now. Maybe all the DISers going to CR for the 50th??

And those sat at 50% off on ShopDisney for months on end after they were discontinued.

Saw on a FB post a picture of two people who had just bought an absolute ridiculous amount of Splash merch.

hope they keep making that stuff to thwart the resellers.

I think that is a guarantee at this point. My guess is they keep it somewhat limited when they refill stock to keep it hard to get and in demand. Disney found a way to make Splash merch a must have.

Lol absolutely. Have doubles of the Disney parks ones. Will be extra careful now!

The glove thing doesn't really bother me. As soon as you accidentally brush a dirty piece of counter or drink machine, or receipt three people touched , or whatever with the gloves, they are basically useless anyway. The CMs would have to change gloves so often it would be unsustainable. Just wash hands and use sanitizer when you can't.

I don't remember the CMs that hand you the trays using gloves prior to all this.

Went to guest relations to ask about gaiters
So Disney did their own study and found the gaiters are only about 20% effective when stretched on face so they literally changed the rule yesterday and are not allowing gaiters, not even looped. Now again I've seen people wearing them but it's like when people sneak in a selfie stick. So do yourself a favor and get regular masks

Gaiters were never allowed. Hotel guests have been told this for more than a week now. It has always been in the 'know before you go' documentation that no one really read throughly (myself included). It was not enforced or even mentioned during CM previews at MK on the first day. Not sure if they changed that going forward but my DH and DS wore gaiters all day and no one said a word. I brought standard masks just in case but no one said anything so I figured it wasn't an issue. Now I see it everywhere that gaiters aren't allowed so they will have to make the choice whether to go back to the parks and wear a standard mask or stay away for the time being.

Just saw on Insta that Prep School heard capacity for AP previews is 7000 with double that expected for normal park days.

Edit: to clarify they were taking about MK specifically. You can see it on their stories from today.

Ahh, thank you!! I legitimately couldn't remember, so I appreciate this info!

I’ve heard the number varies a bit park to park. Obviously MK should have a bigger number than say DHS due to size and number of attractions to spread people out.

@yulilin3 Do you knowhow are the QS lines today? Is it hard to find a table once you get your food because some tables aren't open?
