Cast Members in masks

[Shellyred8]

Just a thought that started floating around my brain today:
If Disney requires Cast Members to wear masks when they open back up, I hope they put their costuming shop to good use and make them some masks that keep with the theme of the area they are working in (or something Disney themed). It's going to be hard to go to WDW and see the CM's all in masks, but it will be even worse (IMO) if all of the CM's wearing the same generic "paper-looking" face masks.

If they are required to use the N95 masks, they could take the approach of making cloth masks and putting a filter in them. I'm a mask-maker and it's pretty easy to make a mask with a pocket for a filter.

I think this would go such a long way towards making the trips more magical for people, especially the kiddos.

I like your idea. I doubt there will be an N95 requirement - probably just cloth masks over mouth and nose, to protect guests. Make the masks fun. I expect the requirement will also be extending to the guests, as well - at least in the first phase or two of reopening. And there now appear to be plenty of Disney cloth masks available through Etsy or Disney or other. You'll see a lot of themed masks when they open.

Wonder if the characters will wear them...!! No, I don't really wonder that.....

Wonder if the characters will wear them.

Full outfit characters ( Mickey, MInnie, etc) can wear a mask inside the character head and nobody would see it. It could be more of a problem for princess characters, etc.

I am sure they will do it! Our local Chick Fil A has done this- we went for pick up a few days ago and they were all wearing cow masks! It was super cute and my kids loved it! Masks don't have to be scary or have a negative connotation.
