If you want a thin mask, disposable surgical masks are very breathable... and filter out more droplets from your mouth than a single ply gaiter...

My biggest unanswered question (and probably won't be answered until reports start filtering in on what's allowed) is what to do for hydration and snacks. It is going to be HOT (duh) and we always focus a lot on staying hydrated with that. I know they're not going to let you walk for long stretches without a mask just so you can sip on a water bottle every minute or so. But are there other outdoor places you can sit and have either a drink or snack? We always like to get a Mickey Bar or Strawberry Bar from one of the carts in the afternoon. Where do we eat that? There's no seating at the carts. I assume you can't do it as you walk. Do you have to find one of the rest stations and eat it? Can you go into some place like Cosmic Rays and eat it? Or is an outside bench or ledge that's removed from all the foot traffic good enough to sit and eat and drink? Are these types of things being allowed at Disney Springs and/or Universal?
For anyone looking, our Costco had boxes and boxes the other day. If you can get your hands on enough of them, they’re probably the best choice for a vacation (no worries about keeping them clean) especially a hot humid one (although not as cute as some of the fabric ones lol).
Only concern I have with the surgical mask is that the bands can dig into your ears and become uncomfortable for a while. All personal choice as long as you are wearing one I’m not going to be picky.
I really hope this is how we see things done at WDW, just using good common sense and being reasonable.At Universal - you just eat it. What you have are small groups that are eating or drinking and everyone just social distances from the other groups. There are some areas with tables along / near the CS places to eat, but not by the carts. They do not want to see everyone with the mask down walking and drinking / eating. They ask you to pull the mask down to take a drink when walking, if feasible. In all the restaurants, everyone takes there masks off when seated for the duration of being there. same if your sitting at a bar or side table or table outside. At Volcano Bay, you put your mask on when getting in line for a bar or to order food or go in a shop, but keep it off otherwise. Disney is going to be acting in a similar fashion. They have the social distancing lines/marks set up in lines, lines for carts, lines for CS, lines for stores, etc. Where they don't, people are pretty good about avoiding others and keeping their distance. This allows for eating and drinking in most areas.
I agree that masks are to be worn to protect others, not yourself. But I guess that is my issue with “breathable” masks. They are not doing that, it’s just the illusion you are protecting others from your droplets. At least that is my understanding.
I personally would be pretty bummed to see I’m standing next to someone in a sheer chiffon mask because that means I’m likely breathing in your germs through my cotton mask. So now my cotton mask is pointless.
Ugh... I can already see the issues arising from all this. I’ll have to keep my temper in check this August.
Or maybe I’ll just buy these chiffon masks too so I dont pass out if others are already wearing them...
