Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[juice0358]

But it isn't mandated by the state, some counties do but we are also only in phase 1, by phase 3 there more than likely won't be required, just recommended if that across the state.

Each phase/month goes by things will change.

It's private property, if they say you must wear it for the safety of their guest and most importantly employees, you have to or choose not to be on their property. Same as a gun, you can carry it with a concealed weapons license in Florida but you can't on their property. I understand kids with sensory issues i.e. autism and they can make exceptions for them if they choose. Otherwise you skip your visits to WDW for the time being if you like.

Soooo... Say you can’t wear a mask for other reasons. They can’t ask for any details regarding disabilities, so they aren’t going to require proof of why you can‘t/won’t wear a mask.

ETA- Not trying to get around the rules, just saying.

They do a pretty good job of making sure you wear your pants everywhere

The Duck's been getting away with this for years.

On a serious note, the RunDisney bib presales looked to be limited for Marathon Weekend due to Covid-19.

That is true. In my state face masks are required except for kids 2 and under, but guidelines state if you can't wear one for medical reasons you don't have to and you don't have to provide any info on why.

no procedure will be 100%. If 80-90% comply that still helps.

Oh for sure!

It just won’t be, “Prove why you can’t or get out”.

4+ full pages of mask talk. This is not the thread for discussion of what masks we should wear, what masks actually do protect, etc. Please don’t get us shut down on the day we actually got some real bona-fide Disney news.

All seems reasonable to me, including contactless menus and encouraging contactless payments.
“In addition, all menus will be contactless. Digital menus will be used, which will require guests to view menus with their own personal devices. Contactless payment will be encouraged but is not required at this time.”

Pretty sure it would be if you can’t comply by the rules, then don’t come. Not to mention if people having to wear masks see people disobeying that, there can be some serious problems and fights occurring.

Some people believe in it more then others, and people are already stressed out enough these days that emotions will be very high. Esp in the beginning

Or guests’ age... I just find the mask thing so obnoxious & it’s really disappointing to me. But I guess they want limited crowds at first & that’s one way to get it.

Yeah and we won’t go. Still sucks & is disappointing. I think a lot of ppl who think they won’t mind this will soon realize how cumbersome it will be in the FL heat. I just can’t wrap my brain around how anyone thinks that would be an enjoyable vacation. But it is not another guests place to police anyone no matter what they believe in. They can alert a CM, but anything else is absolutely unacceptable & inappropriate.

I’m curious how many people who actually go to Disney Springs are guests of the resort or on vacation.

Since nobody is doing either, I will be interested in attendance over a two week period.

I expect it to be decent. What the heck else is there to do?

I think limiting crowds organically is a happy side effect of masks not the purpose. I'm glad they seem to actually be putting safety first, because you're right in your feelings on being in the parks in a mask for the majority IMO, but they seem to be putting safety over the desires of guests and that's a good thing.

Enforcing it is of course another issue but we'll see how that plays out I guess.

You can't socially distance anywhere at Disney, at least at the parks.

If I can't social distance in my own campsite at Ft. Wilderness, with my own picnic table, kitchen, bed, bathroom, coffee maker and linens then I can't anywhere.

I don’t think it will last once either noncompliance is so high that they give up and/or they realize how many ppl won’t go under those conditions. But, DS could also be a trial run. So they could be seeing how that goes. Plus fl is still in Phase one so they may justify it not being a requirement when parks open if it’s not for a while.

I saw a meme on Facebook that same something along the lines of "It's so American to decide we're bored with COVID-19 so it's over". That's what the whole giving up on masks because people won't go reminds me of LOL.

I hope Disney doesn't back off of what they feel is a necessary precaution to opening during this pandemic for any reason besides it not being necessary anymore. And like everyone else, I hope it all winds up being unnecessary quickly.

I like the contactless menu and payments. I know it’ll be harder for the older generation but this would be something I could get behind everywhere all the time. I usually look at menus online before I go somewhere I’ve never been anyway.

 

[gottalovepluto]

They do a pretty good job of making sure you wear your pants everywhere, will probably use the same principles . JK but I don't envy the poor CMs, considering some of the ridiculousness I have seen on property over the years.

Gotta admit: never seen anyone under 2 running around without pants at Disney

Interesting little instructional tutorial SDR appears to have put out on how to enter the park and how to behave once inside. The visuals may give a glimpse at some of what we'll see here once our parks start to reopen.

P.S. It's in Mandarin but has English subtitles.
