I went to MK yesterday. My first trip back to the parks since last feb. I am fully vaccinated, so it felt like a good time to get back, if just for an afternoon.
Started with lunch at The Wave, the Tables are nicely distanced, I felt pretty comfortable. You were allowed to take off your mask upon being seated.
walked to MK, no wait at the temperature tent or the entrance gate. It was HOT yesterday but breezy.
I found wait times pretty consistently 10-15 min under what the app reported, I rode Haunted mansion, Peter Pan, little mermaid, pirates and buzz light year. I had intended to also do people mover, but it was stopped both times I was in the area, so I skipped it.
I found mask compliance to be really good, especially considering how hot it was. I mobile ordered for aloha aisle before I got in the park for 3:30 and it worked really well. Finding a spot to be stationary to eat your dole whip is a bit of a challenge, but you can find a spot in Frontierland.
Social distancing was a little tricky, there’s a couple choke points in the parks, particularly by fantasyland/liberty square where it’s hard to stay away from people, but if you speed thru its okay. For the most part, the walkways were pretty clear. The lines were fine in practice, but the execution wasn’t great. I don’t know why standing on or near a sticker on the floor is so hard, but people really are not getting it. I had a few families riiiiiiight behind me. you can’t control the people behind you, but you at least can control the space in front of you.
The worst social distancing I found was in the stores, I was in the emporium, and it was pretty packed.
I didn’t use any Disney transportation, and my interaction with CM’s was limited, but overall it was a pretty nice day. I would suggest using disposable face masks, I used a cloth one that I use for the grocery store, and found it pretty oppressive after about 5 minutes. It’s also difficult to stay hydrated and comply with the mask. I typically finish a liter of water in an afternoon at Disney, I got through maybe half my bottle this time. I didnt make use of the rest zone, but if I had spent a whole day in the park, I probably would have.
