Disney has lifted more blockout dates for Cast Members at the Walt Disney World theme parks for the coming month of June.

Since the parks reopened back in July 2020, Cast Member availability to enter the parks using a Main Entrance Pass and Cast ID Self Admission has been extremely restricted, with no dates available for May 2021. Availability now includes 8 days in June at EPCOT and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios currently remain blocked out for the entire month of June 2021.

The addition of more Cast Member admission dates comes as Disney continues to increase capacity at the Walt Disney World theme parks. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has recently said that we can expect to see "low double digit increases" in attendance over the next coupe of months.

I know this thread is referring to WDW, but at DL the trams aren't running either. Per my phone, it was 1.3 miles of walking to get from my car to the front gate of the parks at DL. So if you include there and back again, that's 2 1/2 miles. Which is 2 1/2 miles more of the park that could be enjoyed that didn't need to be walked to and from the parking structure, no matter how good your physical condition may be. The trams are needed.

I mean... I understand the sentiment but you're going to a theme park that requires lots of walking. If someone is physically unable to walk to the front of the park before needing to rent a wheel chair, they should probably have that handled before arriving at the park.

Oh, I don't know, maybe for the elderly...young children...those with mobility issues. But yeah, screw 'em for a few extra bucks of profit. You're really walking the walk with that inclusion key there, Disney.

Anyone know the reason why the Mexico Pavilion is still having guests wait in line to get in? I thought distancing was relaxed?

Yep, it is all just a matter of labor now to rip these things down. Probably a safe bet that give it another week, and everything will be gone.

Reportedly the plexiglass in queue lines of Haunted Mansion, BTMRR and Peter Pan are now gone.

Lol, maybe, but my sniffer works just fine with the masks I wear/wore.

It's the masks not the social distancing that obscured aromas.

Captain BarbossaJun 22, 2021

I’m sure gonna miss social distancing. It really was nice not to be able to smell other guests.

I am waiting to see when they get moved to Living W The Land to protect the growing produce.

Everything is a day-by-day change right now but when I rode Safari on Saturday afternoon they were still there.

Sorry if I missed this - have the plastic barriers been removed from the Safari vehicles?
