I wonder if there is any news in this regard? I know this is a super-low priority in the grand scheme of things – but it’s making it very hard to plan! My husband is a CM, we’re not in FL, and so don’t have the resources of local CMs to chat to about this. I have made a room reservation and entered for the Princess half in February (full rack rate). I wound up purchasing park entry for both of us for one day as insurance because I would be heartbroken to train for the half and then not be able to actually go *to* the MK during my trip. Yes, you do run through the castle during the half, but it isn’t the same as visiting the park. If main gate passes are unblocked by that point, I’m only out *gulp* $260. If the park reservation system is still in place by then, there’s a good chance there won’t be anything available whenever the passes are unblocked. We’ve had block out dates suddenly pop-up during our trip before…stuff happens.
I’m tempering my planning with the very real possibility that the pandemic will be the same or worse, so if us people are lucky enough to be at a place where we can even do things like big races, I will take my one day in the park and be more than happy with it.
