Fast pass: Figment
Standby: Orange Bird
Skip: Duffy - never been a favorite of ours
Movie series to binge watch:
Toy Story
Pirates
Star Wars
We noticed those park hours too. Epcot isn't evening opening until 11:00. Suppose they are staggering things like this to try and mitigate buses being overcrowded? Obviously, they won't be pressing guests into them til they're nigh to bursting, as per usual. I consider this year's trip a wash, but Shannon is still holding onto hope. Haven't cancelled our reservation yet. I like to think we're kind of playing chicken with Disney. They want folks to cancel, so we are going to hold out until we see what offer they'll make us for next year if we acquiesce.
Wish we hadn't blown $60 on those silly masks now, though! Once we officially cancel, I'll probably see if I can donate them to an assisted living center, or something like that. |

Fastpass: Star Wars (in chronological story order)
Standby: Toy Story
Skip: Pirates (but not really)
You're on babysitting duty!
Lilo & Stitch
Huey, Dewey & Louie
Phineas & Ferb
I still have to call Disney. Not sure they'll have much more info at this point, but not being able to park hop is a deal breaker. I'm sure they need people to cancel/reschedule their vacations; I'm also curious about what incentives they'll offer. (Rumors of up to 35% off room rates, but that's something they offer all the time.) |

Ideal Disney day -
Rope drop to Fireworks
Rope drop, afternoon break at hotel, back to park & fireworks
1 park in the am, 1 park in the afternoon/early evening, finish the evening with dinner at World Showcase or one of the resorts |

Fast pass: Rope Drop to Fireworks
Standby: Park hop through the day and dinner at a resort
Skip: Park-break-park
But really, none of these would ever be a terrible day!
I think Beauty and the Beast has the best music, but the songs do tend to get stuck in your head. I've taken some pretty good ribbing when the bank teller recognized the song I'm humming to be "Belle's Song". Which ones stick in your head most after you've heard them?
Be Our Guest
Gaston
Belle's Song |

That order will work
Fastpass: Happiness Hotel
Standby: Cozy Cone Motel
Skip: Granny's Bed & Breakfast
House you'd like to have (full time or vaca)
Jasmine's palace
Jim Dear & Darling's place (Lady & the Tramp)
Tarzan's treehouse
So, Disney has said that resort guests will not be guaranteed a park reservation - even if you have an ADR in that park.
Also, the cool pool area (pirate ship slide, lazy river, etc) at Beach Club will not be reopening when resort opens. No date has been set. Guess which resort I'm in????......
This I believe has definitely put the kibosh on our trip this year.

Sorry to hear about your trip. We're still keeping hope alive, but realistically, I think we will be cancelling ours as well. Too much magic missing to make it the trip we want. |

Pirates of the Caribbean
Frozen Ever After
Kali River Rapids |
