NEW: Walt Disney World has updated its face coverings policy to make masks optional for all guests in all locations (including transportation).

"Face coverings are optional for Guests in both outdoor and indoor locations, as well as Disney transportation."

Scott Gustin Twitter

The boxes of free face masks are already off / not in the front of the bus.

Probably because those dates already have more rooms booked.

I have read multiple times that the end of August is considered a slow time because most schools are back in session

Yep, and into the first half of September. I love going during those few weeks! Makes sense that the sale coincides with those dates. Not sure why they didn't include your travel dates since those are typically slow also I think. Maybe bookings are higher for them this year.

Seriously, this event is past my bed time. I had to get up at 2 am today to check in for my cruise and be sure I got the earlies boarding time. This first grade teacher is hanging on by a thread. I guess I will have to depend on someone here for an update I can read.

Sidewalk Refurbishment Underway Outside Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom​

Some short construction walls and tarps have gone up around a patch of sidewalk outside Casey’s Corner on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom, presumably for refurbishment.

The walls and tarps likely block some simple sidewalk refurbishment.
