In that respect, we agree. I just want to be able to find a CM beyond a few people at the doors and (hopefully) a drop off for resort package delivery.No one is fooling anyone here. The goal is to minimize costs- in other words hire fewer CMs. Consumers are putting up with DIY so now is the time to see how far Disney can go. The more guests DIY, the less CMs Disney has to pay. And honestly, I wish this had been an option when I was there last month. The checkout line at Emporium was like half an hour.
No, their Instagram has said they are getting close but nothing yet.Has there been any rumored opening dates to Gideons bakehouse in DS?
They have extended our hours for next week three times, most recently as yesterday. Things are changing on the daily.About how far in advance have they been extending hours? I'm going late Jan and am not holding my breath for any extensions, but was wondering when it may happen.
What? You mean an internet Disney fan forum isn't a good source for medical and scientific information.I understand a vaccine is part of the “endgame” here but at the same time this is not the place to be discussing the ins and outs of one or all of them.
Random thoughts/questions:
- I was browsing the WDW FB page today, reading the comments, and I came to the conclusion that a lot of people either do no research at all or just don't bother to read the fine print. I would bet 90% of the complaints were from people who had clearly not taken the time to read the fine print about the Covid policies in place (masks, not allowed to walk around eating etc...). They were upset they had paid all that money to go and be forced to wear masks all the time, not eat and walk around as they wanted etc...
- Probably half of the remaining complaints were from first-timers complaining about how little there was to do/how much was shut down. I won't lie, I just cannot imagine why anyone would choose the middle of a pandemic to go to Disney World for the first time ever. And of course again, it goes back to - actually read the fine print! Disney has been up front about all of us.
- Calvalcades. I've seen a lot of chatter on FB from people who are really enjoying these. Some even prefer them to the normal parade because a) they run more frequently, so if you miss it, not a big deal you can catch it later and b) they're running in all four parks. Do you think these are something that might stick around once things go "back to normal"?
I hope they do stick around. It was truly pleasant to be able to tour MK without having to plan where to be or where to walk during a specific time in order to see the parade or to get around the parade route. The cavalcades also reminded me of the early 90s, when the characters would just show up and surprise you.<snip>

We are not really parade people (except Spectromagic, RIP), haven’t been there to experience them but I love the idea of cavalcades instead of or in addition to the parades. Unpopular opinion, I would even give up much of the permanent meet and greets in favour of “spontaneous” Pooh frolicking in the grass type moments.
Parades can take a lot of time commitment, and we are usually not in the parks, especially MK, in the afternoon to enjoy them. Team cavalcades!

Yes, especially those two. The Tapestry of Nations parades at Epcot were beautiful, but there was absolutely no way to move around the park when they were happening. Just no alternative pathways. Same in AK.especially nice at the parks that don't normally have parades (AK, EPCOT, etc.)
Cavalcades are perfect adds for DHS, AK and Epcot. But bring back the standard (FoF and holiday parties) ones at MK please.
EDIT: @TheMaxRebo - you beat me.
