Had a full blown migraine around 6, had to pack it in early but it wasn’t indicative of the day because we had a great one! Rope dropped MK, no wait for the ferry, they didn’t pack it in either, got in POTC, HM, People Mover, Pooh before 11 and mobile ordered Pecos Bill for lunch, monorail had no wait to parking and was not crowded at all. Park hopped to Epcot for the night with no problem. Joined the walk up queue for Spice Road Table and waited maybe 3 minutes. Walked up to Greece, Germany and Morocco booths, no wait.
Felt a lot better being here and seeing people with masks and being vigilant. There are a few that need reminders of course when entering stores and rides, but CMs have been on top of it. Fully vaxxed and masked gives me a sense of relief for sure. No social distancing at all in crowds or if you’re rope dropping and in lines, but there is room to space out and keep a distance when walking, which we are doing and not piling in the crowds. We just know we’ll get to things eventually and if not, it’s not a need to do everything kind of trip, it’s definitely go with the flow, but I like the change up to our usual pace. I also have to say, I was imagining massive, can’t move crowds and this is less than what we’ve seen in MK and Epcot on our past August trips, so we’ve been pleasantly surprised- although it’s still early in our trip!
Maybe this should’ve been posted in the Here Back Now thread, but I thought it’d help specifically with August goers!
