Have back to back weeks scheduled for Grande Vista and then Lakeshore Reserve in August. What is the current status at either or both of these, does anyone know? Trying to decide whether or not to cancel our reservations. Thanks for any help

Thanks for the link. I have been contacted by both resorts , outlining details of what is open etc. I would appreciate an "on the ground" report of how busy or crowded the resorts are, whether social distancing is working etc Thanks

We were at Lakeshore last month. It was right before the JW opened.
It was mostly quiet. Not crowded.
The theme parks are just starting to reopen, but not with the typical crowds.
We felt very comfortable at the resort and we take every precaution we can.

We also were at Lake shore last month. There is plenty of space between chairs at the pool, and the pool wasn’t overcrowded. Overall it was a great time to be there.

It is difficult to get a clear picture of Orlando, with so much media focus on COVID numbers in Florida in general. So, if anyone is there with Disney opening etc. are Grande Vista and Lakeshore still relatively quiet? Trying to decide whether or not to cancel planned vacation in first part of August.

20K confirmed cases in a population of 1.3 million in Orange County Florida.

I have the weather channel App on my iPad and phone and when I enter a location to check the Weather there is a spot to click for the current covid numbers and a graph showing the few months. Data matches what my state posts so I believe it is accurate.
