Man I love that parade - will be singing that song the rest of the day! I can definitely see this potentially being a problem with drawing too much of a crowd though.

LOVE Boo to you. So sad I am not there to experience these fun mini parades. Lucky people going now...jealous...

Definitely will have the song in my head today.

Best spot to watch the parades too

Possibly not if they continue to increase capacity. Also if you're stuck in an indoor line without an exit in sight and no CM's around near someone refusing to wear a mask. In that case the 15 minute guidance goes out the window in my opinion. It doesn't take 15 minutes for the virus to be transmitted from someone who isn't wearing a mask if they cough or sneeze near you.

I posted about this about 10 days ago. Trapped in an indoor queue for an hour with a family who did not respect social distancing, removed masks, coughed. No way out without squeezing past them. And, as luck would have it, today I have a headache, burning itchy eyes, and am sneezing. Probably just allergies, but now I am looking at all of this from a much different perspective than I did pre-trip and realizing that it should not have been a question of my comfort level, but of the comfort level of all the people impacted. The Butterfly Effect.

Tears to my eyes. We were just there last week, and now I have an even stronger desire to hop in the car for another 7 hour drive. We sing that in my house all year.

It's about viral load. One cough by an infected person while masked (especially outside) does not have enough of the virus in it to cause an infection. That is why there are not mass infections from going to the grocery store. One transient person coughing by you in an aisle isn't enough to infect. It has to be prolonged exposure with enough of a viral load which is where the 15 minutes comes from.

Yeah it is, but there are a lot of different masks out there, many just one layer that won't be providing enough protection to block the virus entirely. So you may get an amount of viral load - less than without a mask true. But still might be enough for you to be asymptomatic - and then your body grows the virus so the next persion you infect isnt so lucky.

I am going to Disney in just over a week. I know that they aren't doing the package delivery to resorts right now but are they still holding packages at the front of the park until you can pick it up at the end of the day?

Just giving this a bump as I think it got lost in the recent back-and-forth arguments regarding masking/physical distancing/virus spread. I don't have an answer, but hopefully someone who knows will see it and help you out!

 

[Iowamomof4]

anyone know if you can still use the microwaves at the food courts?

I'm pretty sure I read in the Pop Century forum that the microwaves are not available right now.

Apparently I am the perfect example of how Influencers actually work.

I saw this video earlier today and within 2 hours we are already booking a trip for October. We weren't going to go for Fall Break because I was too worried about what people would say. In fact, we had already cancelled a trip. But Southwest emailed this morning with a 20% discount and then this video came out....and I can't help myself!!! They had me at "Boo to you....."

It's our first time going to Disney as a family of 3 (oldest now in college). I'm too late to make the ADRs I want. And COVID has everything else turned upside down. I'm both excited and a little unnerved. For me, this is as spontaneous as Disney gets. And I still have over a month. lol

I may or may not be a member of a POP facebook group that may or may not have a microwave they pass from group to group. I am not endorsing that you check it out, nor have I used one, but..that's all lol

haven't read the pages added to the thread since last night so sorry if I'm being repetitive
Just back from MK, definitely disappointed at the lack of decorations, only the mickey heads on posts and the garlannds on the doors, no unique jack-o-lanterns above the store fronts, no Main Street citizens as pumpkins on Town Square, no halloween topiary at the entrance, my DD kept saying "they better put up all the christmas stuff"
Aside from that the cavalcades were cute, nice to hear the familiar sounds from the parade, they could totally bring the grave diiggers if they wanted to. Caught in one hour the Pooh and friends, Mickey and Friends, Jack Skellington and friends, Villains and Chip and Dale on the raft in their skeleton costumes.
Loved to see so many guests (most of which were visiting CM, lol) all dressed up, streamed a girl with a beautiful Sleeping beauty dress that changes colors just like in the DL parade, streamed her but forgot to get a pic, I did get a pic of these beauties
I love when guests go all out


got a magic shot and I intended to see if there were more but forgot


had the Constance wedding cake, pumpkin milkshake and the monster burger, all great
looking forward to visiting MK as it, hopefully, gets cooler to see more costumes
A friend of mine that works at MK was told that this is the extent of the decorations, I hope they are wrong

This is just a @yulilin3 appreciation post. You rock! That is all.

yup, I got teary eyed this morning as soon as the music started blasting. Everyone on the stream loved it too, now if we could get more decorations...

No. They are not doing any package handling right now except if you want to ship something home. They will not hold packages at the front of the park or send them to your resort.

Mark is back!

I love seeing CMs with Disney swag. It makes me think that person might really like their job and that just makes me happy.

Thanks for the report!! (And you missed nothing fwiw. Just lots of back and forth on Covid spacial distancing)

 

[yulilin3]

Don't go near the crowds. Find another place. Simple. I Watched 2 from frontierland and there was no one there at all

So I just started reading back on the thread
Yes the situation at Town Square was a crazy, when my DD and I saw that we moved up Main Street to the entrance of Casey's and we all had enough space, it's not just Disney that HAS to keep us safe, it's pretty easy to just move to a better spot

The dining reservations tool helped me get all of the reservations I wanted at the times I wanted last week. I usually got the notices a couple of days before my desired reservation day. More down to the wire than I usually like, but kind of thrilling!

Best tip ever. I’ll be picking up some popcorn (and Lysol wipes) at Publix and heading over to FB now! POP in November!
