Tom, I am a huge fan of your blog, and read it daily. I have a constructive idea for your consideration. While I appreciate how you dove into the details of the mask vs non-masking issues, you failed to even mention one of the most important variables in this regard. If you choose (again) to get into the science issues of masking, you need to emphasize that the 100+ million Americans (like me) who have recovered from COVID, now have natural immunity. And a recent Cleveland Clinic study shows my natural immunity is holding up better than the vaccine immunity. So for all of the talk about cases, cases, cases….let’s remember ALL of these “cases” result in more natural immunity, and there are less than 1% deaths involved, and going down each day. That’s why Universal Studios, and most companies and states have no mask policy. So we now have 260 million Americans with immunity from the vaccines AND natural immunity.
I’m avoiding further commentary and analysis of all things covid related, but have routinely referenced natural immunity, prior infections, or “some form of immunity” when discussing the topic.
I love your blog! We are Canadians who love Disneyworld and can’t wait to return. We had a reservation for May 2020, and ever since that trip was canceled due to covid, I have been reading your blog every day to get my Disney “fix”. I wanted to thank you for being a bright spot through multiple lockdowns. Your commentary is fantastic- I will be very prepared for our next trip when it finally happens!
Tom! Just wanted to say thanks for your blog, and especially your insight and honesty this past week (7/22/21-ish) on the chaos that seems to be the regular at WDW right now. Our family did a ton of visits while I was growing up, but with a family of my own now, lots of things to consider for 7, 5 and an almost 3y/o kiddos. We were originally scheduled for a week starting 8/1, but with the trifecta of crowds, temperatures and Covid cases increasing (and your post on all three of these) I rescheduled for early spring next year (we are only driving from Atlanta area). Luckily the kids aren’t disappointed because my husband and I didn’t even tell them about the trip for precisely this ‘just in case’ scenario.
This will be our second trip with the kids (first was in 2019 for a large family gathering) and we will be staying at the Poly Villas this time around with just our family of five, which we are excited for. I’m looking forward to reading more of your previous posts and seeing your insights over the next few months. The tough part now is sitting tight until I can plan more than just the hotel and park tickets/reservations. I’dlove to know your insights about the return of some of the character dining experiences (my oldest two are girls who are princess crazy) and we were lucky enough to do the Princess breakfast at Epcot in 2019, but are hoping to do the Disney Junior breakfast at Hollywood Studios to meet Sofia and Jake (for my little guy) at some point.
Hopefully that explains how demonstrate the Dining Plan is a profit center for Walt Disney World and not just a perk. Even if you’re a fan of the DDP who is personally able to leverage it to your advantage, it should be obvious that it’s also beneficial to Disney. Hello. The first sentence does not make sense to me…wondering if you need to fix it?
