Not going to lie, I really wouldn't mind social distancing in lines be kept up, everywhere else is fine to go back to "normal" (rides, character meet & greets, transportation), but standing in line for hours all day and having the smell of sunscreen, sweat and stank being so close to me is something I could do without 🤣🤣

Anyone going to the Jungle Cruise ride at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, be sure & say "HI" to my Eldest Son, Skipper Frankie! I have another Son, Skipper Frankie's younger brother Alex, who works cooking things up at Animal Kingdom in Harambe Market. Maybe someday AJ's son will work at Disney World! Also, wish me happy birthday, I turn 60 tomorrow on June 13th! How did I get this old? I remember when admission at Disney World was only $10.00 when I was in college in Florida during the late 1970s!

I’m thrilled that my family and I leaving for our trip in two weeks. Being vaccinated I’m glad that face masks will be optional, since it’s in the 90’s in Florida.

You are so right about the importance of hydration!

Are they going to keep the relaxation stations? Mom and I really enjoyed those when we were in the park during spring break. they were nice places to just sit down in a shaded area and relax for a bit without worrying that you were taking up someone's dining table.

The last time I was at WDW, Epcot had just opened. Been dreaming of going back one day!

When I was little, I always thought the D in Disney was a G, so I always read it as Gisney-

Let’s give it up for AJ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 who kept Disney alive while the world was closed and has been keeping us up to date on all things Covid related.

I just moved from Disneyworld to Disneyland :) and I wish someone covered the news there as in depth as you all do!! I know you do the news over here too (which I’m Soo grateful) but no one truly does Disney news like you! 🖤

I’ve been waiting for a mint collection, but they did us wrong with that bow 😫

[JhankW]

Thanks for everything DFB! We used many of your awesome tips and tricks on our trip last week. I’m recommending DFB to all our friends that are headed to WDW. Thanks AJ!

The fact that O’hana is reopening, AND it’s opening on my birthday is just. 👌

[tarsonwiggle]

Looks like my vacation for Disney World is gonna be fun on august.

[anonymous.hippopotamus]

Okay, I know I can get emotional, but oh man did that make me cry happy tears to hear. I can't believe it. Really, what made me cry is the statement about our kids being able to hug our favorite characters again. Right in the feels. So happy. Thank you for this update. What a time it has been! My heart goes out to all who have suffered loss from this pandemic. It has been so unfair and so difficult. I am just so relieved that our kids will get to see some of these experiences again soon. They deserve it!

I have a mint spirit jersey from like 6 or 7 years ago. I remember that and coral were some of the first colors they dropped. Love it!
