Ok guys and gals...   Who is planning on going opening day so we can get picture updates of changes in the park during the off season?

I had originally planned to visit on opening day, but i couldn't get time off from work until April (gotta love working in retail). While ill miss seeing the changes in the park for the season firsthand, ill atleast get to visit during the Festival of Wonder. In all my years of visiting the City, i haven't been in April. At least I'll be able to check that out!

I'm debating whether or not I want to be there for opening weekend or hold off just a bit for festival of Wonder. I'm just far enough away that it's a pain to go back and forth. I'm definitely leaning towards opening weekend though.

I am shooting for Weds the 18th since I got a new job that demands weekends. We shall see. Looking forward to going back as I couldn't make it back out at all since last October.

I don't think we'll get down there until sometime in April. My family likes the shops just as much as the rides and they don't seem to have as much fun when most places are closed.

checking the scheduling of the eateries and shopping.. it does appear that "all" places will be open on the 17th,  open all year, and last day will be january 1st..

Question #1.   When did the change the schedule? I thought they gave up on NYE day and NY day, becasue of low traffic...??

Question #2.    The Schedule shows they are going to be open not only on NY day (a friday),  BUT onen on Jan. 2nd. (a sat)..     SO!!!???  IF they are scheduled to be open on sat,  WHY would they schedule all the food joints and shops to be closed on SAT>??

Misprint?   Whats right> wrong,..

They added the dates after NYE and day this year. Earlier in the year they said that they were waiting to decide and would add them later. They are listed on the calendar on the website as the 1st and 2nd.

I’m guessing that the shop and food dates aren’t updated yet.

My early tentative plan is for the first visit of the year to be in May for the 60th anniversary celebration. Too busy to get away earlier than that unfortunately.

So it begins... I guess that means there's a real chance SDC will delay opening as well....

Hard to speculate at this point how long this period is going to last. At some point the virus is going to spread through the population. I know the goal is to spread it out over time so the hospitals aren't overwhelmed. At some point though, a lot of people will have gotten over it and society will be ready to get back to business before we all go broke...
