    Did they increase park capacity yet?

    My wife made a really good comment on this percentage. On a normal May day, what percent would be in the parks? We know it would not have been 100%, so 50-60% may have been a normal day at the parks. Now as pp stated, add in reduced attractions and this starts to feel like Christmas week...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    And another Just back - was in the parks 4/22-26. Here is my very brief report Also visited in early December. Crowds actually seemed less on days that were totally booked for all 4 parks. Could not figure that one out. Parks were very easy to walk thru, with just a few choke points. Mexico...

    Are posted ride wait times still inflated?

    Just back. Many of the times were accurate. If a low time was posted - like 15 minutes for Toy Story Mania - by the time we got in line, the wait was expanding and was often 20+ minutes. Seems that high times are more likely to be shorter, but the opposite for short times. Mickey/Minnie Railroad...

    HS or Epcot on a Sunday?

    seems DHS is busy every day, and we know EPCOT is busy on festival weekends. I would probably bite the bullet and do DHS on Sunday, and EPCOT during the week. We used this approach mid DEC.

    Will I really be able to change my park day if I don't get RoR?

    We did similar for a trip in December. In order, DHS, MK, AK, EPCOT fill, with EPCOT not filling up very often. We missed our first day for RotR, so it took the second day to capture. Since we are not able to do FP right now, it makes it a lot easier to change plans.

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    I have a similar situation. The price you paid can be forwarded to May if needed. It may not be an exact day for day swap, but if you paid $400 for each ticket, you will receive that value for the May tickets.

    5 days at WDW, which park to double up on

    I also vote for EPCOT for the Flower & Garden extra and nothing is like it at DL. Same can be said for AK, and you could always make a switch after you visit each for their first day. It is DHS and MK that tend to fill first, so both should be available.

    What is the new park limit

    AND since it is rare to have a FULL park, normal operations may have been 35-45% on many of the days. It has been easier to walk through the parks, but rides have stayed busy. I know it is busy now, but a friend just returned last night. They waited 40 minutes for Small World, and 35 for...

    AP Only Info Thread Reservation System /Extensions / Refunds

    I have a very similar situation. I did call, and waiting 2 weeks for the call back. I am being allowed to get a new annual pass, but since my tickets originally came from UnderCover tourist, they are only able to upgrade in person (go figure, and hard to believe). I was told to visit guest...

    Parks with best shopping during Covid

    Maybe more of an issue is the time to get into the store. MK Emporium often has a 15-20 minute wait just to get into the store. That will be good to know also.

    City Beautiful Bandstand Is BEAUTIFUL News!

    I was hoping Mulch, Sweat, and Shears might be part of this also.

    Finalizing park plans- input needed

    How much does your kid like animals? We could never go without visiting AK. It is an easier day in the park. I would consider adding another day, and making AK your easy park day with pool/relax also. No reason to rush in this park. Walk around, watch animals, goto conservation station and do...

    MK Park Reservations next week

    I think that is a good plan. During the week, on a slower week, should not be an issue. Are you staying onsite? That adds another layer to making it easier to get park ressies. We did this in mid December when it was busier. Only HS was booked up. If you can get HS right now for next week, then...

    HS Arrival

    To expand, RotR can be done from your room now. No longer is it required to be through the turnstiles. You do have to be in the park to try at the afternoon time. Getting the HS early will allow you to ride Mickey Minnie Railroad, Slinky Dog, or Falcon with smaller waits.

    Park hopping worth it?

    currently, only people that have HS as their park selection are able to get ROR boarding groups. If you hop to that park, then you are not able to get a boarding pass. We have often hopped to end up at EPCOT since it has the best eating of any park, and with all the festivals, even more eating...

    Pin trading at the parks?

    It is only at shops or specific areas. I had the best luck at AK. AK - boards at 1) the stroller area 2) just outside Windtraders shop, Pandora, 3) Africa as you start on the walkway to Asia 4) outside the shop at Expedition Everest, and I think one near Dinoland but I can not remember EPCOT -...

    Pin trading

    I have been to DL once, and this seems similar to DL since the cast members are not wearing pin lanyards. It is only at shops or specific areas. I had the best luck at AK. AK - boards at 1) the stroller area 2) just outside Windtraders shop, Pandora, 3) Africa as you start on the walkway to...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We took the skyliner from DHS to Primo at the Riviera. We wanted to check out the resort, and try Primo. There are tables outside and seating all around, so no worries. We both got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was fantastic. It had great bread, and the fries were really good. Wife got the...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Last day of the 4 day trip - WED 12/9 to the MK. Amazingly, this day was much less crowded. We met a friend and his family, and they were at the MK the day before. The Confectionary was backed up 25 people deep, the Emporium was backed up to the castle area. On this day, it was basically walk...
