I would love so much if my province, city, and most importantly school division could adopt Disney’s precautions and compliance. My mask was actually cozy today outside because it’s cold and windy and yet people here still act like they’re suffocating and will die wearing their chin guard oops I mean mask. Josh D’amaro come save us please.
Regardless how I feel about travel during all this, I have been pleasantly surprised with overall how compliant Disney guests have been and credit for that has to be given to the guests of course but also a large part of that goes to the powers that be at Disney taking it so seriously, the culture surrounding COVID safety they’ve created, and of course the CMs who interact with guests keeping it all going.
Good on Disney for being “over the top” and strict. Wish it were everywhere.
I was a little worried about the mask and heat but it’s just as humid in NY with a slightly lower temperature. The metal nose clasp broke in my mask yesterday and the cut piece is rubbing against the side of my nose, but this has been the first time I’ve been even slightly bothered by wearing a mask the entire time here. The only place I feel heat is where the top of my mask meets my cheeks.
I’m wearing a cloth mask btw, haven’t felt the need to change it out to the paper masks, I’ve just been washing this one every night and reusing it. If you’re suffocating, you’re probably wearing it wrong. And I have a full beard, so if it was “too hot”, I’d be the first one to feel it.
I haven’t even been to a relaxation zone since I’ve been here. And any time I’ve taken a drink I’ve tucked myself into a corner to sneak a drink while no one has been near me. I mean, I’ve left the parks to go smoke, so I guess that kind of counts as a “relaxation” zone.
speaking of, being at the smoking section in front of DHS is when I really realized how well Disney was doing keeping their guests in line. Guy from Texas and a guy from South Carolina both going on about how much it sucks having to wear the mask and how they can’t wait until they’re done and over with. But they’re both there at the parks. So I asked one of the guys if they’ve said anything to him when they’ve caught him withhis mask down and he says “Oh, I haven’t even dropped my nose out of my mask because they’re everywhere so there’s no point if I’m just gonna get yelled at to pull it back up.” I just laughed because Disney has guests whipped into shape. I just walked by the restrooms by the Seas and I’m walking next to a CM and she looks over and sees a guest with their nose out standing in the pathway and she didn’t say a word, they just locked eyes and the guy immediately pulled his mask up.
This is all what I wanted to see here. But if it was bad, I would have said here that things were bad. I’m not sugarcoating it because I’m a Disney shill, these are my honest findings and opinions. I had no issue saying that Disney Springs was a disaster. But everywhere else has been beyond my expectations and hope
