I’ve been to Disney World four times but not in the recent past. I’m taking my girlfriend for a week and was wondering if anyone has been there recently.
What did you enjoy the most?

One of these new policies includes a theme park reservation system, where Guests will need a park ticket as well as a theme park reservation each day in order to visit. Also, it’s important to note that just because you are staying at a hotel on property, does not mean that you will have guaranteed themed park access.
There's also no "park hopping" right now. You have to sign up for a specific park for one specific day (and obv. have a pass that allows access to the same).
My fiancée is a Disney nut, to the point that I actually took her to WDW to propose to her in front of the castle. Last year she made 4 trips, and had been at least once nearly every year since she could walk(so that's a whole lot of trips). She's on her second year of an annual pass, and we had originally planned to honeymoon there.
In fact, she had a trip scheduled for last week, which of course didn't happen.
Her general take now is that she's not really in a hurry to go back. She follows this stuff very, very closely and says that between Fastpasses being gone and transportation working at reduced capacity(plus wearing a mask all day in the Florida heat) she's not anxious to return anytime soon. A lot of her "tricks" that she knows to make a trip run like clockwork just aren't available right now. We're still up in the air as to whether or not to go in December/early January as we'd originally planned...
On the plus side, from what she's telling me, lines are short and resorts are cheap now, but quite a few of the resorts and other attractions are not open.
My fiancée is not wild about Hollywood Studios especially as she doesn't like the more extreme thrill rides, and often only wants a half day there.
I totally get that some people have a massive [emotional] investment in all things Disney![]()
I'm surprised that Disney doesn't have a virtual park ticket where you can pay to watch people go around the park.
I'm sure that there are people who would pay for that.
That's funny, that was probably our favorite park, but we prefer thrill rides.
When she and I went, I ended up riding the Rockin' Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror without her, which was fine.
I'm actually looking forward to going with her family-maybe next year sometime if things are back to some semblance of normal-as normally her sister is the one riding those type of rides alone. At least then I can have a ride buddy on the stuff my fiancé won't ride.
At the same time, if you are the only one in a group who wants to ride a particular ride, the single rider line is a really nice touch. It doesn't exist now, though, for obvious reasons.
You're bringing back so many memories. Super excited right now. On social media I'm seeing people post videos from there, the hype is real
Just remember that, irrespective of the heat, mask wearing at DisneyWorld is Mandatory unless you’re eating.
Remember COVID-19 is real also.You're bringing back so many memories. Super excited right now. On social media I'm seeing people post videos from there, the hype is real
This is incorrect. I'm guessing you're not aware of the relaxation zones
Remember COVID-19 is real also.
It’s not incorrect, I just didn’t know about those awful “relaxation “ zones. That aside, it’s mask required.
You do like missing the point, don’t you?

Bet Covid is going to have a real fun time at DisneyWorld. All those strangers...
Just so others aren't misled by your post, masks are NOT required in the relaxation zones
My girlfriend and I have never been more excited. I made sure there'll be roses and all that. It's going to be very romantic hehe. Much needed vacation for both of us

I expect Disney to close sooner than later
Right now cases are SURGING in Florida

Yeah I think Disney World could close which is why we are going soon. Right now cases are SURGING in Florida, so I'm thinking that's why a lot of people are going because they want to go incase it shuts down again

There is now coffee all over my monitorSo to be clear, you wrote (slightly re-authored):
Florida is having record cases of Covid-19, and Disney World is experiencing a massive uptick in visitors ... so I determined this is the best time to travel to Florida and go to Disney.
Outstanding.
Maybe I'll use some of the same logic, let's see, sharks feed at dusk, so I think I'll go swimming about 50 yards offshore tonight, around 8p, and before I go, I'll fill my pockets with bloody raw steak ...
If you’d been wearing a mask, that wouldn’t have happened.There is now coffee all over my monitor
Don't give the OP suggestions.Maybe I'll use some of the same logic, let's see, sharks feed at dusk, so I think I'll go swimming about 50 yards offshore tonight, around 8p, and before I go, I'll fill my pockets with bloody raw steak ...
