So true. I was very excited to see the park hours increase for the upcoming weekends. It gives me hope that they will increase them for Thanksgiving week. However, I am fully prepared for pandemonium too.The sooner you accept it, the easier it becomes.
Besides, then the little things like a park being open an hour later seem very exciting!
Might save yourself a lot of heartache if you just accept that "normal" isn't coming back until at least May next year. If it comes sooner than that, great, you can be excited that it ended sooner than you thought. I really want to book a cruise for March 21st, but I doubt cruising will be back to normal by then so I'm kicking the can. If it does happen to come back sooner, I can try for a last minute deal.Shame .. I think that a lot of people would show up with this .. despite the virus ... especially since it 4-5 months away still.
But, I think though this pretty much says what we all already know (and have just been in denial about) ... (okay maybe that denial part is just me .. ) ....... WDW won't even be back to even close to "normal" until AT LEAST March 2021 (and more than likely summer 2021) .. Between this and the water parks (and only one) not re-opening until then this is a pretty big sign. Heck . they may just plan on running the parks as minimal as possible until the date the reservation system "expires".
I know a lot depends on the virus, but obviously Disney is just planning for the worst (because the minimal approach saves them a lot of money and headaches (from cancellations, etc.).
Makes me rethink my planned week-long late January trip at this point. It still may not be "normal" enough to make it worth it.
They may be iconic wooden coasters that RMC replaced but at least with Mean Streak it was very rough at the end and was a walk on all the time. What I love about what RMC has done is made rough wooden coasters into smooth intense rides. Who doesn't like ejector air time. Steel Vengeance you are out of your seat the entire ride.
Yeah, I agree about Mean Streak. Even I, who would ride Son of Beast multiple times in the back, thought Mean Streak was uncomfortably rough and I don't remember it having a big payoff either. OTH, I'd let someone straight up punch me in the ribs if I could ride SOB or the Real Giant again. Mean Streak was the only Dinn coaster I ever rode that I didn't really enjoy, but they were definitely known for their roughness.
. I did think this was proof she was my daughter, until she later complained that Judge Roy Scream was "too rough" 
. When I questioned my wife on how a kid of mine could find a woodie too rough she said "well I think it is too rough too," so I've decided DD got the bad genes from DW 
. Although, my first real coaster was at age 5; DD has already bagged 15.

Yep, was just about to post that.
Hours and something to do at night will ultimately decide if we keep our current trip or not. I'm not one to sit around on vacation. I want to stay busy until 11pm!
