Have you been back to Disney? Park hopper ticket question?

Not Disney but we went to Universal Orlando, we are vaccinated and masks up to go inside and we keep our distance (when possible) but a lot of peoples didn’t… but that Florida so it’s probably better in California .

I went to Disneyland at the end of July. We took our own hand sanitizer bottles and used them often (adults are vaccinated, teens had at least had 1 of their shots). They do have many stations around the park, but we found several empty ones.
I felt safe there. While there was a lot of people, it was pretty easy to keep a distance. the most crowded area we were in was when we watched the fireworks.
Download the app, mobile ordering for food is the way to go. Have fun!

This. We live nearby, have Magic Key Passes and are going every week this month. Just make sure you get tickets and reservations ahead of time. If you are interested in riding Rise of the Residence (a MUST!) Read up on the virtual queue process. The Genie+ is not here, yet, but possibly any day now so not sure how that will change things. There are currently no more fastpasses for any ride, but there are still single rider lines if that works for your group.

This is what I was going to post. My cousins have gone and it is very, very crowded. Do not go OP if you're expecting low crowds. 

We went in early September and it was amazing! Most rides were walk ons or just short waits. Unfortunately, it's more crowded now, so you won't have the same experience.

We thought about cancelling our trip, but opted to just go and make the most of it. We lost two loved ones in the last year and really needed some fun back in our lives! All of of us were vaccinated or we would have never considered going. The crowds were pretty low, so we felt that we were able to manage keeping our distance a lot of the time. We kept our masks on while there. We either ate outdoors, or picked indoors that looked like there was a table off to itself. We ate at Sci Fi and there was enough space between the cars that we felt comfortable dining indoors there. We sanitized tables when we sat down to eat. Maybe it was overkill, but I was a germaphobe even before the pandemic, so I always did this. And of course we sanitized our hands often.

we have been a few times and will go next week again. they enforce the mask when you are in indoor lines but no so much when you are standing outside. they don't ask for proof of vaccine.   the park is as busy as ever so social distancing is almost impossible.  i still enjoy going to the park though.

Friends just returned from DL. They said they would not go back, primarily because of how wearing a mask is just such a pain when you are doing so all day and combined with all the activity.

They are both vaccinated and mask wearers. It was just the all day thing was a pain.

We have not, BUT, it would be WDW for us, not DL. We had a trip planned for late summer 2020, but have since postponed it 2 more times. It's now on the books for late summer of next year.

For us, personally, we didn't want to be paying more than ever to have what we would consider to be a reduced experience.

I've been several times, also a magic key holder. Masks are only worn inside the stores and on inside rides, - think Haunted Mansion, Pirates etc. Been vaxed. If you go the week of Jan 9 is should be not be over crowded, the kids are back in school and the tourists have gone. Although the park will have shorter hours and some rides may be closed. If you plan on MLK weekend it will be busy.

I just got back from WDW. Some days were super crowded, probably because it was the Wine & Dine race weekend. Masks are rigorously enforced indoors. Castmembers turned stern quickly when someone didn't put one on. If I was in a crowd outdoors, I pulled my mask up.

I had fun for the most part, but declined to do Genie or pay extra for high demand rides. As resort guests, we could enter the parks 30 minutes early where we hoofed it to the big ticket rides and got on pretty quickly. I was told, but didn't confirm, that if you paid extra for those high demand rides and they broke down excessively where you didn't get to ride the attractions, you were out your extra money. I can't see that being true. People would flip out, especially since Rise of the Resistance goes down often. The day we were in Animal Kingdom, Everest was down most of the day. That's one they'll be refurbishing early next year for 3 months.

i love the holiday decor and we're going this week.  we usually go twice for the holiday stuff but it's only once this year.  the next time we will back is the week after the park returns to regular decor.  

It's 1 pm for magic key (passholders) at Disneyland. If you know how the maximize your time IMO it's always worth it's but YMMV.
