And that's their choice, they know the risk. Just like everyone stepping into DS knows the risk

That's really all I want to see is how they enforce the rules.

They really aren't going to, same as it was before all this, you will have to wear a mask for a month or so to get in and that will probably be the extent of it, maybe when you enter a theater or ride but nothing more than that. It is the same in areas outside of Dinsey already, except Costco which is more strict than the Mayo Clinic.

If that's the case then goodbye Disney. My money will go to a park that actually enforces rules. Universal here I come.

BTW I work for Costco in Canada and I love that they respect us enough to require masks.

It's not really their choice if it is the only way they can afford food but we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

Regardless, Disney agreed to certain safety policies to protect the CMs and the CMs agreed to come to work based on those policies actually being enforced.

That’s not what it says. This news came out much earlier today. It’s just that they’re the first*, and possibly only, park presenting tomorrow at the meeting*. WDW* and SeaWorld* are* also giving their plans over as well, just not presenting*.

*maybe

FTFY

Who says Universal is going to be any more stringent on enforcement? Btw, my Costco requires masks to enter too, but once inside, plenty of people pull them down - never saw anyone being told to put it back on.

Just sharing some views. I’m interested to see how things continue and the enforcement.

Just sharing another account of day one... Thread includes an anecdote of witnessing a CM asking guests to put masks on and the guests just walking away.

Stay home and never leave.

So far Universal is doing a better job of it. I have more faith in Universal cause they already are strict with bringing things on rides.

Hey everyone, I just got home from DS. If you care, here's my observations.

1. Masks are NBD at first but IMO they got old. Carrying my son on my shoulders sucked with a mask. Other times I could deal with it.

2. People don't care about social distancing. So many people just walked right by us, or next to us. Not everyone, but if you're really worried about social distancing, I'd say it's 60/40 care to don't care

3. Temperature checks were NBD and not orwellian or anything, took like 10 seconds.

4. Even with Disney stores open, it would be hard to spend the whole day there. It's only going to be locals until parks open, I guess big time hardcore's will drive just for DS, but we're not in a hurry to get back.

Random thoughts: my son, who turned 3 today wore a mask for most of the day, but he got totally sick of it and had to take it off. We saw older kids not wearing them either and Disney staff didn't seem to care about kids not wearing masks. We did have one guest who tried to scold us for not washing hands after trying the Archimedes screw (it was detached ) before seeing we had our own hand sanitizer. I was polite and tactful, "bless her heart" Florida style. I thought I'd be there with bells on when the park opens, I still will, but man with masks it's going to be tough. Just my opinion and observation, hope it helps.

I appreciate the report of how it went for you

Then that’s where you should go if that’s what you think.

This is what I expect. I think ppl want to comply, but then it just becomes so cumbersome that they start pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with. It’s going to happen. And noncompliance is going to be so widespread that wdw is not going to escort ppl out the parks b/c it’ll be an all day occurrence.

I think you’re really reaching there. It’s not different than other workplaces. Disney is better than most locations for workers because they own masks.

If you are spending enough time close enough to your neighbors, family members who don’t live with you or coworkers you haven’t been doing the whole shutdown/social distancing right the whole time leading up to this point.

It’s pretty hard to make the judgement that Universal is stricter on compliance when DS has been open for a matter of hours. But regardless, I’m not going to deny myself going to WDW because some guy posted a pic on Twitter that didn’t really show much of anything.

On the bright side, we’ve moved from should we wear masks to hey they’re not wearing theirs!

This is the same dilemma people who have the option to go to work have had since this thing started. But it’s still a choice, lousy though it may be.

Watched a livestream of DS today (in the evening)...so many people wearing no mask or wearing it with nose exposed or around their necks (no food or drink in hand).

This is why we can't have nice things.

I don’t know what to tell you. We can’t all live in a bubble for the rest of our lives because someone might get sick.

We need to remember that most people have to go to work, and when offices and restaurants open up as states open up, even non-essential people will have to go to work. It makes no sense to say that most people need to stay home forever, and lose all their income, if they don't want to be exposed to people who could have taken safety precautions but just didn't want to. Public health is public.
