Yehaa Bob Jackson Will Return to Port Orleans in October

Yay! I'm thrilled he agreed to return after being let go. Love his show! I look forward to seeing it again when Covid isn't surging and we are ok with being indoors in a restaurant unmasked surrounded by others unmasked.

50th Anniversary Decorations on Main Entrance Signs

Happy Friday all!

I'm here now and things are great!

Checked in at Riviera yesterday and were upgraded from a Studio to a 1 bedroom so I no longer need to switch rooms halfway through the trip - pixie dust for the win!

Did food and wine last night, lines were not bad at all for either rides or food booths. I don't have a Remy preview (BOO) but from what I saw it looked crowded in there. I remain very jealous.

I went to Mouse Gear and there was 0 50th merch to be found. I know the next batch isn't technically dropping until the 1st but it's weird that there are advertisements literally everywhere but no merch to be found. I will keep looking and report back if I find things.

My experience as a party of 2 is that we got our own private skyliner car each time. We'll see if that holds up into the weekend. I enjoy being able to put my feet up.

Boo Bash tonight, keeping my fingers crossed for light crowds, low waits, and lots of candy!

Have fun!!! Congrats on the upgrade, that's awesome

Park Hours Released through November 20

Now that YeeHaw Bob is back can we get some info on the Citizens of Hollywood. They are a favorite of my DD15. We easily spent hours watching them over a course of our last ten day trip. She even participated in a few games and they came over and interacted with her while we ate at HBD lounge. Every time they saw her in the parks they remembered her and interacted with her. She loved it.

Park Hours Released through November 20

Where’s my October 1st hours extension for MK Disney??? Next Friday I hope!!

 

[JoJoGirl]

I’m glad he’s being brought back but packing unmasked people into a tiny lounge right now isn’t a good idea.

Probably not the best for folks who are very concerned about the virus, but the lounge isn’t tiny, and people can decide for themselves if they are or are not comfortable with it before they go in.

I’m very relieved and encouraged that he’s being brought back, given that so many acts seem to have been permanently cut elsewhere.

I was hoping to start seeing some later hours, especially at AK for us.

Hopefully once Thanksgiving week kicks in.

This is great news!

I'm hoping they extend the week after as well, that's when I'll be coming in, and in years past it seems as if they oftentimes cut the hours in early December.
