Disney World 2022 Planning- Part 5



October 01, 2021

Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Day! It is the most crowded park day in the ever of everness. Most rides were walk on all day because the people there were mobbing stores and food locations for exclusive merchandise and snacks. 
There was also a fist fight in the Main Street shops over Spirit Jerseys.
In other news, stupid people still suck even more than policy changes!

Primeval Whirl is a pile of rubble. I guess it’s not going to reopen.
Alas.

No hugs, no autographs, but one-on-one character time returns to the parks with “Character Sightings.”

One “change is bad” crisis averted. There were supply issues with Disney World getting the Passion Fruit Orange Guava juice (POG) that Rosa (and the rest of us to a lesser extent) fell in love with at 1900 Park Faire. The reason for the issue turned out to be switching suppliers…WHICH ALSO CHANGED THE TASTE.
Luckily, sanity prevailed and they went back to the original supplier. Whew.
[Later edit- None of us remembered to ask for this at any restaurant. Alas.]

FIRE UNDER CINDERELLA’S CASTLE!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHH!!! 
Okay, it only took one fire extinguisher to put it out, but having fire trucks come down Main Street that aren’t part of the atmosphere is a major thing.

Snow White Wilderness Lodge dining returns.
There are menu changes, but almost only to the names of things. YAY!

The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular is back! I think that’s the last big show that we actually care about.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

I bought the Disney page a day calendar for 2022.
Wishful thinking? We should be going, but with no one knowing what’s going on it’s hard to guess.
[Later edit- Do I know my family or what?]

Streetmosphere people (or whatever they call them now) sighted at MGM! (or whatever they call it now)
Could the return of Fanny O’Rear be slight evidence of normalcy?

THIS IS [Later Edit- Almost] NOT A DRILL! Grandma announced she’s done whatever financial wizardry is needed for us to go to Disney next summer. Kim and I have to figure out schedules. Then I have to figure out planning now that dang near everything is different. Good gravy!
 
I guess this means I really need to finish reviewing the pictures so we can make an album of the last trip.

They must have heard we’re coming. Mariachi Donald has returned to his spot next to Mexico in EPCOT!
YAY!!!

AllEars ran a big article on “Why planning a 2022 Disney Trip is really hard right now” about all the stuff that may or may not reopen sometime this year. Basically, they’re giving me the finger.

This is a Mother's Perspective. I admit it. However, I'm also sure it is very true.

HA So glad you gave the finger back to All Ears and proved once again the McGinley family knows how to Disney and Sir Jeffrey of the Grid is a Superhero. OXZ

Many thanx. Knowing you have my back on the planning helps make the decisions easier very often.
