Originally I was hesitant to come this week because so much is going to happen in just over a week, but this week has turned out to be so special! One of the factors in my decision to come this week was that my passes I bought for last year were set to expire on 9/26. First, we got to AK at park opening and had minimal wait time for both FOP and Na’vi. Low crowds all day. Next day, there was the opening of Space 220 (technically day #2) with walk up reservations. Glad I wasn’t there for opening day as it was chaotic; and now (thank you sooo much, Dis members!) I got BG 4 for ROTR. Even if I hadn’t gotten a BG there was the backup plan for the first standby line starting tomorrow. Knowing I could do a walk up took a lot of the stress off of trying for the BG. Tomorrow is our MK day so I’m looking forward to another magical day! That said, for the better part the masking has been pretty good, social distancing (in lines and in crowded areas outside) not so good, but I feel pretty safe as I have been avoiding large groups and have been able to keep space in lines because of using a wheelchair. I am especially vigilant when it comes to social distancing as I work with many elderly clients. For peace of mind, I will test when I arrive home. Lastly, there were many empty tables in Space 220 so I would say if you are unsuccessful getting an ADR for your upcoming trip, keep trying because I feel sure they will open up more availability after the initial opening. Maybe they will see how it goes or they may not be fully staffed yet. Excellent experience. We did lunch.
