Most people just snap the pic on their phone rather than buying it unless they have PhotoPass. I did this with Space Mountain and Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout in December.

I think the gaiters are the best for thrill rides. If I need a mask when my June 2021 trip comes, I'll get maybe three of these. I won't need one in Epcot since there is no roller coaster. Magic Kingdom may need a gaiter for say Splash Mountain and the wild mouse Space Mountain. Disney Hollywood Studios has Rock n Roller Coaster and Disney Animal Kingdom has Expedition Everest which both are higher speed thrill rides.

Disney World visitor received first aid for cough, shortness of breath, and severe vomiting. They claim it's a nut allergy, while ignoring the clinic's advice. They went back for a 2nd day.

If the visitor has the Coronavirus, they were infected before coming to Disney. It takes at least 3 days to show symptoms. The visitor is highly contagious in the first week, but the masks may prevent the spread. It does no good, if that person is eating or drinking. The staff may get infected.

That is criminal. They should be arrested.

I buy the picture, LOL. Except last time I was on splash Mountain, the girl in the car in front of me put her arms up just as the machine was taking the picture and blocked my face. I was so mad! I don’t look good in selfies, they make my nose look big!

I really wouldn’t wanna go under these circumstances. I feel like it would take too much of the fun out of it, not having the freedom to just hotel hop, park hop, and have dinner spontaneously etc. And other things like taking the monorail to one of the beachfront hotels and watching the fireworks from there. No fireworks now, and no one but guests allowed on the hotel properties.

I’m not really a ride person, I love Disney for the special effects and the magic of it. I go on Twilight of Terror just for the special effects before the ride but I dislike the ride itself. My favorite thing are the 3D movies (all time favorite is 3D Muppet Adventure) and those probably aren’t even open. Most of the indoor shows are not I believe.

The magic of Disney really lies in the shows, the special effects, the aesthetics, etc., as you mention. Most who enjoy Disney and go for repeated visits do so with that in mind -- if you want thrill rides, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Fun Spot are down the road.

Nothing beats that Cinderella's Castle light/firework/music show at night. That is always a beautiful experience.

Yes I like that too, but trying to get out of the park afterward is a nightmare! That’s why we like to monorail to Grand Floridian and watch from the beach. You don’t get the full sense of everything of course but last time we stayed in the park for fireworks the crowds and obnoxiousness of people pushing to monorails and shuttles ruined the magic somewhat. I actually got pushed out of the way by people behind me (strolled people often weaponize them!) trying to get on a shuttle.

Honestly even though I love Saratoga Springs, where my family has their Disney Vacation Club points at, they are a transportation nightmare. Saratoga Springs is about a 15 minute drive to Magic Kingdom and roughly 10 minutes loop in the resort. Saratoga Springs is a really nice resort. I typically try to head out of the park as much after the fireworks group left the park.

Anyone using a stroller as a shunt should be thrown out. But that's just me...

Yeah... Last time I stayed for it, we had to wait 90 minutes to get on the Monorail that lead to the parking lot... 90 minutes!!! There was even one of those ride timers there...
All I could think of was how in the world Disney was even able to get away with that, as that's a serious safety hazard, to have thousands of people crammed in a waiting area trying to exit the park... Yikes!

That isn't just a Disney problem.

It kind of is... Magic Kingdom anyway. Being stuck on an island across a large lagoon from the parking lot, with the only means of exit being a limited-capacity train is very problematic. There's a ferry that runs across it also, but it's even slower, runs less frequently, and has an even smaller capacity. It's certainly not a problem at Universal and Seaworld.
