Since our last post we’ve had fall and winter trips but wanted to revisit the summer one last time. As the summer wore on Walt Disney World got increasingly more crowded after the Covid-19 reopening. Fastpass+ has still not been resumed and the socially distanced lines take up a lot of real estate; but with only stops for cleaning the rides the lines seem to always keep moving. That and what seems to be a slight over reporting of the wait times means the lines are not always as bad as they seem. Dining and shopping capacity is way down though; it can take a while to find a seat even after getting your food at the quick service places. And availability for sit down meals is extremely limited owing to social distancing. Visiting Disney World is still an enjoyable experience however ; the scenery and engaging activities remain intact. And they have tried in small ways through the cavalcades and by using separated areas to have some charming character interactions.
