Agreed. I'm sick of "virtual" anything at this point.

Soooo this. If one more person says ‘but look we have a virtual option!’ Imma yell haha.

Regarding EWP. Sad update.

That tweet is from days ago. He tweeted again today with this.

My work officially hired one of the furloughed Disney CMs. We have another one, that we're waiting to make a decision on, I'm pushing to an extend an offer because they worked in GE at one point, and I just want to talk to them about that LOL

Not a fan of virtual races either but what irks me the most is the cost. I don't get how they can charge so much for a virtual race. $108 if you want a medal and a shirt for a virtual race is ridiculous.

Right???? Like, I could be 'virtually' running a race right now. For Free. (For complete honesty's sake, I am not a runner, and the only thing I am doing right now is drinking a large cup of coffee.... literally). But it's the point that counts !!!

Are you currently being chased? No, right? Therefore no point in running

Reminder this is not the place to debate whether masks are working or not.

New York Times has a vaccine calculator on how many people are roughly in front of you

According to it, I have 17 mil in front of me in the state of FL

So basically, the line for Flight of Passage on a busy day lol

I did that. In the country I had 15 people BEHIND me.

Roughly the amount of people complaining about the bg/vq system

On topic and slightly taboo in this thread:

With the vaccines getting emergency approval, over the next few weeks we should start seeing a realistic timeline unfold.

“Let’s say we get 75 percent, 80 percent of the population vaccinated,” Fauci said. “If we do that, if we do it efficiently enough over the second quarter of 2021, by the time we get to the end of the summer, i.e., the third quarter, we may actually have enough herd immunity protecting our society that as we get to the end of 2021, we can approach very much some degree of normality that is close to where we were before.” Source

Herd immunity will directly impact Disney World's operations. It will be interesting to see how long Disney maintains current pandemic protocols. I'd expect certain things to start trickling back in March/April, but will really ramp up at the end of summer where the capacity limit might be lifted completely.

If you were hoping to attend the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2021, I like your chances right now.

LiterallyNobody at WDWMagic says that Fantasmic will be returning by February with social distancing.

If no one is talking about it there why bring it up here?

I think that is the posters name. So instead think of it as "a poster at WDW magic is saying ...."

I'm only laughing because that was so something I would say...

For me personally, that would be the last show I'd want to see brought back. Would rather see fireworks at Epcot and MK first.

But logistically, I suppose it would be the easiest as far as distancing.

Definitely feels a bit easier to control crowds/spacing there (though they will have to organize how to space while exiting the theater some) than for other nighttime shows

Plus DHS probably needs the additional crowd absorption more than other parks (though probably more during the day than at night - wonder if they could do a modified show during the day there?)

Remember the rumor, we are losing two nighttime spectaculars?

RIP already to RoL.

This doesn't bode well for HEA or EF. EF doesn't really count. It really can't be HEA though.

Gut says the rumor was wrong...

It could be one of the fireworks/projection shows at DHS
