I’m going to either need to hit the reset button

I’m going to either need to hit the reset button on 2020 or gain the ability to time travel to the future. Who’s with me? Until then, just give me a beer and l’ll call it a day. 🍺🍻

I want to share some thoughts about today’s reop

I want to share some thoughts about today’s reopening of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. 🏰🌳
.
Let me first say that I am NOT there. I am observing from home. So, I’m only commenting on what I’ve seen and heard from others, not my own personal experiences.
.
Ok, here we go:
.
💫 The majority of what I’ve seen, everything has gone well, people feel safe, people are wearing masks, and social distancing isn’t a problem.
.
💫 BUT, re: the latter, there was a major problem outside of MK in the morning at Guest Services that caused congestion and zero social distancing. Again, this is only what I saw and not what I experienced personally. Things like this cannot happen, but it appears Disney fixed the issue (unsure how long it took), but still. I’m sure there are going to be a lot of kinks to work out with this new normal at Disney and it’s the first day, so keep that in mind. But, again, social distancing is key and hopefully issues like this do not continue.
.
💫 Based on MK wait times around mid-afternoon, they were pretty low (Peter Pan was 25 minutes for an indicator!), which shows you how low capacity is being kept. The Hub was also mainly empty well into the day and that was never the case pre-pandemic.
.
💫 The mad rush first thing in the morning is always the worst, so keep that in mind. You might want to wait a little bit to arrive, so then you can walk in minus crowds. I know some care about hitting up the big rides before lines build, but wait times are pretty low, so I don’t think that will be an issue.
.
💫 AK’s reopening day has been the total opposite of MK and has basically been empty all day. For the most part, wait times have been around 5 minutes! Yes, that includes Flight of Passage. WHAT?!
.
💫 If it rains, DO NOT crowd with other people under a roof or inside a store. Social distancing doesn’t stop when it rains.
.
When it comes to all of this, people’s experiences and level of comfort will vary. But, overall, it looks like Disney is doing a good job during such a hectic time that’s filled with so much uncertainty.

🍷 I was just scrolling through my Food & Wine p

🍷 I was just scrolling through my Food & Wine photos from last year and stumbled upon this picture. 😱 I think it’s safe to say that this year’s festival will look *very* different. If you didn’t hear, the menus for the 20+ global marketplaces were posted and there are a lot of tasty items, including:
.
🔹Africa — Spicy Kenyan Vegan Corn and White Beans with Pigeon Peas, Quinoa & Ancient Grains Medley and Kachumbari Slaw (Plant-based)
.
🔹Brazil — Pão de Queijo: Brazilian Cheese Bread (GF)
.
🔹Earth Eats Hosted by Impossible — The Impossible Burger Slider with Wasabi Cream and spicy Asian Slaw on a Sesame Seed Bun (Plant-based)
.
🔹France — La Vie en Rose Frozen Slushy: Vodka, Grey Goose L’Orange, St. Germain Liqueur, White and Red Cranberry Juice
.
🔹Hops & Barley — Freshly Baked Carrot Cake and Cream Cheese Icing
.
🔹Islands of the Caribbean — Frozen Mojito
.
🔹Mac & Cheese Hosted by Boursin Cheese — Macaroni and Cheese with House-made Italian Sausage and Peppers (Plant-based)
.
🔹Morocco — Spicy Hummus Fries with Cucumber, Tomatoes, Onions, Tzatziki, and Chipotle Sauce
.
🔹Shimmering Sips — Banana Bread with Mixed Berry Compote (Plant-based)
.
🔹Joffrey’s —
* The American Adventure — Tropical Breeze: Frozen Lemon, Coconut Syrup, and Pineapple Rum
* Canada — Orange Splash: Frozen Lemon mixed with Orange Vodka
* Odyssey — Passion Flower: Frozen Passion Fruit and Tea infused with Lemon Vodka
* Future World East — Spring Berry Bliss: Frozen Strawberry and Coconut Syrup topped with Raspberry Vodka
.
The festival begins July 15, the same day Epcot reopens, and will run through the fall. Remember, this year’s festival is modified due to the pandemic. So, guests will only get a “taste” of the event (literally too!). I mean, it’s all in the name ➡️ A Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. So much goodness to still look forward to — while being safe and wearing masks, of course. 😷

🚨TOMORROW, July 9, 2020 ticket sales and Disney

🚨TOMORROW, July 9, 2020 ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel bookings resume!
.
Per Disney, “For those looking to make their plans right away, please note that tickets and Disney Resort hotel bookings may be released at different times throughout the day tomorrow. In addition, we will use virtual waiting rooms as needed to manage the high volume of guests looking to plan their visits.”
.
I do not plan on booking any new reservations. I have my August trip and one for December. I’m also supposed to attend a wedding in November in Las Vegas (depending on circumstances, of course), so I think that’s enough travel for right now, especially with everything happening. ✈️ What about you? Are you booking for the remainder of 2020?

🍿🍺Grab your Disney popcorn and beer and chee

🍿🍺Grab your Disney popcorn and beer and cheers because dining reservations are now open for all guests. A few important reminders:
.
▪️Reservations can only be made up to 60 days in advanced.
.
▪️For in-park dining, you need both valid theme park admission and a park reservation to book table-service dining.
.
▪️For Disney Resort hotel table-service, day guests (those not saying overnight) must have a dining reservation. Hotel dining reservations are also highly recommended for guests who are staying overnight.
.
With limited capacity and social distracting measures put in place, reservations may go fast, so I would try to book as soon as possible. 👍

It’s hard to believe that Walt Disney World’s

It’s hard to believe that Walt Disney World’s phased reopening officially begins in just 5 days. 🤯😱
.
I know many are both excited and nervous to visit and there are some who don’t think anyone should be traveling right now. Even more so, many don’t think WDW should reopen since the pandemic is still happening.
.
I think if people would just wear a mask, wash their hands, and social distance we could get this under control and maybe even still do the things we love (like travel) until there’s a vaccine or something to help, but that’s sadly not our reality. This is going to be our “normal” for awhile and everyone better just realize that.
.
When it comes to tourism, well, I think it’s a tough situation because so many people need tourists to survive financially, especially in Orlando. Do we stop traveling? I don’t think it’s a simple yes or no answer. I have a WDW trip in August and I’m still planning on going. I trust myself to travel and, yes, I know I’d be taking a risk. I also know I will follow the rules and even self-quarantine before and after my trip. But, I know that doesn’t mean I can trust others. My plan right now is to follow along with those who attend WDW’s reopening and see how it goes. Who knows if Disney will be as safe I hope it will be.🤷‍♀️
.
Do you agree with WDW’s reopening and people traveling? Are you heading to WDW or have any other trips planned?

Did you see Jeff Vahle, the Walt Disney World Pres

Did you see Jeff Vahle, the Walt Disney World President Resort, shared some behind-the-scenes photos of Animal Kingdom getting ready for its reopening (head to his Instagram ➡️ @jeffvahle)?🦒🐘There was even a picture of one of the water cavalcades guests will get to enjoy upon reopening (AK reopens on July 11). There are actually quite a few character cavalcades throughout each park, since parades and character meet and greets are temporarily suspended. 🥳 They sound super fun and cute! Swipe for more details.

It’s hard to believe it’s already July, let al

It’s hard to believe it’s already July, let alone Fourth of July weekend. 🇺🇸 Normally, I’d probably be grabbing drinks with friends and hanging with extended family, but for obvious reasons that’s not happening this year. Instead, I’ll be practicing social distancing by chilling at home, taking it easy, and definitely having a few beverages.🍺🍻 You don’t need a massive party or event to have fun or enjoy a holiday. 😎
.
It seems like many don’t seem to really care about the whole pandemic and aren’t concerned about physical distancing or wearing masks. Hopefully this weekend doesn’t cause a major spike in cases, but let’s face it, many just don’t want to be told what to do. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, wearing a mask isn’t that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, so just do it. 😷 With that, stay safe and enjoy the weekend! 💙❤️

UPDATE ➡️ Both Ferry Boats and the Monorail wi

UPDATE ➡️ Both Ferry Boats and the Monorail will reopen on July 7, instead of July 11. Disney hasn’t specified that the Epcot Monorail will be closed, but there have been reports it will be — the same with Grand Floridian boats. Reopening dates haven’t been announced yet for Minnie Vans and Watercraft options, like Sassagoula and Friendship boats.
...........
If you didn’t see yesterday, we have some Walt Disney World transportation updates ⬇️
.
🚡 The Disney Skyliner resumes operation on July 15 (the same day Epcot and Hollywood Studios reopen)
.
🚇 The Monorail resumes partial operation beginning July 11. Only the Magic Kingdom routes will reopen (resort, MK, and express lines). The Epcot monorail doesn’t not currently have a reopening date.
.
⛴ Resort boats at Polynesian and Wilderness Lodge will reopen on July 11( Grand Floridian boats don’t have a reopening date yet and most likely due to the NBA’s stay when their season resumes)
.
🚤 Sassagoula boats and Friendship boats don’t have reopening dates right now.
.
Keep in mind: Disney transportation will follow social distancing rules and will have limited capacity, so there may be delays. When I spoke with the CM who booked my dining the other day, they told me to budget at least 90 minutes for Disney transportation (that’s 30 minutes more than I normally would). So, if you don’t have a car or aren’t renting one, make sure you give yourself enough time for travel, especially if you have dining or experience bookings.
