Flying back from Orlando Saturday night, we touched down in Denver for a connecting flight home to Tucson. Temp at the Jetway was 4 degrees, and the terminal interior was at or around freezing. By the time we reboarded (the same plane we'd arrived on), the Jetway temp was down to zero.
Everything everywhere was white and blowing around fiercely.
Great week at Dizzyworld, though, had our own Villa in Old Key West Resort; 5 folks, 8 days.
The park facilities are not normal, many attractions and sections of the parks are closed down 'for renovation'. The staff and activities continue as before, frenetically jolly. Prices for things like food and trinkets are astronomical. Nearly a ten spot for a Coke. The attendance was pretty good, somewhere more than half capacity, was good in some ways.
It appears that the renovation statement is accurate, and that the parks' grand reopening (whenever...) will reveal a whole new series of attractions. I might be there, I might not.
We arrived in Orland airport, got onto the Disney Magical Express, and arrived at out Hospitality house in our resort with all our baggage. Our Mobility Carts were waiting and we were set up on the ground floor in a disability accommodation villa. All service and facilities at our lodging were first rate. But the parks were clearly in distress. The disability accommodations are nearly all for Celia, but I use the mobility carts because my getting around these days is not so hot. No stamina.
Folks may or may not get distressed with our taking advantage of Disney facilities. The only money we spent with Disney this trip was what we paid to eat, mostly. The rest was an investment we made literally more than a decade ago, something like a timeshare, at a time when Disney was an entirely different entity, politically.
Some may notice that I've been absent from these forums a lot lately. Health is one part of it, mine and Celia's. we're OK, but not stellar, No Covid in the house, nearly none in the community, mostly nomads from CA. Our community and VFW have adopted very strict participation controls, and it appears to be working surprisingly well. We could rejoin our friends in the club immediately, but were advised to wait until Wednesday, to get come indications of possible symptoms before reengaging completely. It's a personal option, and we think it's a good one following o/o state travel. Some of our friends are pretty elderly (80's) and frail, and it just helps us to avoid them getting infected.
I take my own temperature thrice daily. So far...
