Thanks for the advice. As hope others follow that. As it will be very important. Fair and square!

Where do the Minnie Vans drop people off for Magic Kingdom? I was wondering if Ubering to breakfast and then getting a Minnie Van to MK would cut down on some of the craziness of the TTC.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

That's a really good idea, if they're running. Getting to the MK early enough to avoid some long lines is always in our plans, and we've been trying to figure out how to do this if we can't get through the toll booths until an hour before opening.

Uber is running in Phoenix, so hopefully they are up and running at WDW.

Unfortunately, the WDW website says they are temporarily unavailable.

I have questions about indoor dining. Are the tables well spaced? Are the areas well ventilated? I can’t seem to find any info on this. Also about evening entertainment at resorts- does everything just shut down at 6pm? Are shops or activities open around the resorts or should we plan on spending a significant amount of time in our room? Thank you!

The only indoor dining I did was the bbq place at the America pavilion at Epcot. Tables were well spaced, Cast members were watching for people to leave and would wipe down their table for the next person. They were also only letting a limited amount of people inside at a time, mostly managed by the mobile ordering on the app telling you your order is ready. I’m not sure about ventilation however. I think most doors and windows were closed.
For the resorts, at least pop, the shop and food court were open, but in the case of the food court you had to wait in a line to be allowed in, limited amount of people as well. The shop had the same policy, but they weren’t at capacity. The poolside bar was also open, and they did have a movie showing outside on a big screen after dark, and people sat on towels on the lawn, so at least some activities are going on. The ONLY thing I can recall being closed was the arcade. No arcades at WDW right now. That said though, certain activities are not taking place, I can specifically say the electrical water pageant was not.
A note about the shop, most shops at the parks had lines to get in so as to limit capacity. The resorts shop did not, so this is a great place to buy souvenirs.

Do you know by chance whether these rules will be supported in April-May 2021? Or are they planning to tighten it? Although it seems to me that it will be necessary to find out by the end of winter, because it is not known what the situation will be.
