Oh that’s strange I didn’t sign up for it thanks!!

Disney is rubbing off on their CMs.

Is it plexiglass? Sort of. When can you let me know? Soon.

guess I will find out thursday!

Face shields apparently are only for attractions CMs

No warning for AP preview registration, or email! Thank goodness for this site!

Yes but I also think that’s good with the numberS rising issue. Avoids some bad PR.

Just got an event is full screen for my AP Waiting Room.

By the way, for those who have 3 year olds...when we went to the waterpark last week I put one on my 3 y/o son and he at first didn't want to wear it, but when I said he had to or we couldn't go in he quickly changed his tune and wore it without a peep, and didn't touch it until we got to the water area where they prohibit masks. He did amazing!

My DS is 6 so definately a bit older but the first time he put a mask on we had him pretend he was a doctor and he loved it. He even asks for the mask sometimes in the house so he can be a doctor again.

Fewer tests, fewer positives. Works both ways. Unfortunately, the pop's is the tell here and that's not good news. I'm so disappointed. In the back of my mind, I had been hoping to see an amazing turn around so I could justify going to the AP preview. We've never gotten in before, ever.

Was over 18% at its highest so that is going down as well. Still high but is going in the right direction.

Dumb question do AP blackout dates apply to passholder previews?

 

[andyman8]

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the opportunity to take the mask off inside but it goes against everything the "experts" are saying, outside = good, inside = bad.

Think of these like the old D Zones. Cool air pumping (maybe?), places to sit (physically distanced), etc... It wouldn't be any different than a restaurant/lounge where people are sitting and eating without masks on. Expect CMs to be vigilant about guests/parties maintaining distance from each other. I don't know about SWGE but I do know the proposal for MK is a mask-free zone at TLT. Trying to figure out where the others in MK are. Will report back.

I would hope see through or that ride will be almost worthless.

I was thinking the same thing!

Driver: "And out left front there's the elephants signing the heart symbol for us! Once in a lifetime photo opportunity!"

Me: "But there's a wall in the way!"

cases dropped but testing dropped too. % positive was 15.71%.
View attachment 505080

It’s actually 13.67% of NEW results. You’re looking at the rate of all tests which included retests of people already diagnosed. People keep testing until they get a negative. It’s in the next set of numbers that wasn’t posted. Not that it makes a huge difference. It’s still going in the wrong direction. Just wanted to clarify

Face shields apparently are only for attractions CMs

do you know if guest can wear them too? We are trying to see if we can wear a shield over our masks when we go.

Plus the 30 minute limit is also key, and falls in with the expert guidelines

she's feeding me info each time she gets a quick break

and by "info" it feels a bit like "Rebel intelligence"

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Dumb question do AP blackout dates apply to passholder previews?

No, I believe most (all?) types of APs could sign up.

 

[AmberMV]

Dumb question do AP blackout dates apply to passholder previews?

Nope! All APs welcome, except Epcot after 4 AP

 

[SmittS]

“Event is full”

Wasn’t going to go anyways as my AP isn’t active yet, but I was curious to see the process.

What a little saint <3

 

[only hope]

Word from Batuu
CM were given their thermometers, masks and face shields when they clocked in
Both MFSR and RotR will only take one party per pod/vehicle. The entire RotR attraction will be done (no spoilers) so no jumping any element, MFSR they are going to decide if to leave the pre show running while people walk through, so no stopping in that room
Face shields are required for almost every position now, CM have to be strict on enforcement with guests, examples of people on the spectrum or any other disability will be required to wear a mask or asked to leave , were given in the training this morning
There will be a relaxation zone (masks off) at SWGE, it is said to oh=hold about 80 people, she's about to walk the land so she'll tell me where this zone will be.
Most casts that their costume required a hat are now told not to wear it because of the face shield plus mask, might be too uncomfortable, so no officer hats at RotR
There will be a safety spiel playing through out the park reminding people to wear mask and wash hands
You can still take pics in the Falcon loading area but with masks on

more info to come

On one hand, it’s going to be a long time before I get to try Chewy
Mode. But on the other hand...I can be right pilot EVERY time now!!!!

Thanks for the information!

But the important question: what is the Batuuan word for mask and face shield?

I’ve been wondering if they’re going to have face masks that blend in with the costume and how the pandemic stuff will be explained in BSO. I really hope they find a way to integrate it all.

Can't wait to hear where the no mask zone is.

Glad to hear they are trying to compensate for the extra heat by letting them not wear hats.

Don't like the announcement situation. Seems very unmagical.

Also surprised by not being able to take a quick picture without a mask (the falcon is outside right?) Maybe I'm not visualizing the right spot (never been to the land)

If they can safely open restaurants, they should be safely able to open indoor mask relief zones. If it isn’t safe to run these indoor mask zones, they shouldn’t even be opening IMO, because that means the indoor TS and QS are risky as well (and that’s most of their food locations).

At Uni, there’s constant announcements in City Walk and in the park entrance areas but not in the park. I think there is the occasional announcement except in the wizarding world. If Disney does the same, it’d be fine. Constant announcements at TTC, entrances, single announcement on transportation vehicles, and occasional announcements in-park except for Pandora and BSO.

Mask break areas should be outdoors. Or at least one indoor, one out. Then those who don’t want to sit inside anywhere without a mask, which really is the smarter thing, will still have a break area. Plenty of people are still not eating inside restaurants.
