Any news??

 

[e_yerger]

Hmm now that we're discussing it, I guess I can see Disney doing a happy medium. Masks required only in indoor queues/spaces.

Nothing that we don't already know here. He is answering reporter questions.

Mayor Demmings will speak at 4:30

I think Airplanes might take extra measures as well. 2 in one row (window and aisle) and 1 in the row behind (middle seat) and rotate throughout the plane and have the opposite on the adjacent side. Masks would be completely pointless if you have 6 people in each row.

Delta sent out an email, I think it was last week or week before last (they're all running together) stating that they will not book middle seats. I think most airlines I doing this, and I think there just aren't as many people flying anyway, will probably be a while until people are packed in again.

Would be the only time I willingly choose a middle seat

If you read the SWA guidelines they cover that.

I wonder how that will work if there are 3 ppl in your party. I can’t sit a seat apart from DS. He’s 2.

They said people traveling together can still sit next to each other so I would assume that you could just take a whole row.

No reason to distance from your traveling party.

But then I guess they’ll have to skip the row behind & in front completely.

I don’t think we need to worry about overcrowded flights for a while.

 

[Eric Smith]

They won't. They're going to have people in every aisle and window seat. Their plan does not say anything about leaving empty rows.

 

[SMRT-1]

On today's live Dining Show, @WebmasterPete said that he's heard from multiple sources that June 1 is a "hard date" that is still currently being targeted for park opening.

Not agreeing or disagreeing, just sharing Pete's statement for those who might be interested.

I would think this is something they are least considering.

 

[SaintsManiac]

SWA is leaving empty rows in the front and back only.

There's a lot of denial out there. They could be in for a surprise while getting on the DME bus when masks get handed out. I would expect masks to be required for all WDW transportation, at least the busses and monorail and EPCOT resort area boats.

Transportation maybe. But I'm telling you. It's not going to work for a whole day. Making everyone wear a mask before going on an airplane or going into Costco for a limited period of time, both with air conditioning, is much different than forcing a theme park of thousands of people to wear a mask outside in Florida heat when already socially distancing.

I mean they can "require" it all they want, enforcement will simply be impossible. What do you tell the guy who's bandana or homemade fabric mask is soaking with sweat and can't breathe through it anymore? Once you feel like you are being waterboarded, it's going to come off. I guarantee you that. (and yes, some people do sweat that much)

Disney has always been very lenient. Just as an example between WDW and UOR.
WDW allows you to take pictures/video/have your phones out in almost all attractions and shows
UOR requires people to leave things in lockers, even going far to install metal detectors in entrances of some attractions

Opposite WDW is known as a more family friendly destination so
WDW is a bit more stern in smoking at non smoking areas. CM may approach and ask people to stop
UOR even though they have smoking section the enforcement is not that prominent

I didn’t even think about the sanitizing nightmare those UOR lockers are going to be... much less the crush of people getting a ride...

Just saw on twitter that Villains After Hours events are getting cancelled

I just called and got right through. The cast member in special tickets hasn’t heard that yet... Maybe they just haven’t been updated?
