Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

At least they're donating all the profits from selling masks to Medshare.

Profits and proceeds are two different things.

I said this elsewhere once, but since you bring it up, I think it can be revisited here - with regards to "social distancing". "Social distancing" is staying six feet apart and preventing close contact with anyone for longer than 10 minutes.

Per CDC, it is actually "not being within 6 feet of someone for longer than 15 minutes" *--which strengthens your point.

*this was "longer than 30 minutes" as recently as the weekend

And they don’t have to donate either, but are choosing to donate profits along with the masks themselves. Good for them.

 

[Searc]

lol

I've been over this several times. I would not go if they require masks. I don't think they would make it mandatory anyway and I hope for everyone's sake that they don't. It is not a fun experience to wear one.

I 100% agree with you. If a mask is required, I won't be visiting, especially in the summer. Yuck.

Ok. But the Parks Blog said profits. "Disney will also donate all profits from the sales in the U.S. of Disney’s cloth face masks to Medshare, up to $1 million, now through September 30, 2020." I did miss the "up to $1 million" part my first time reading it. Got mixed up with the 1 million masks being donated.

Well the first mil of the profits...which are earned by September 30th anyways. Still a great gesture.

Totally agree, and our scheduled trip in July - that being said, the Disney ones would make it a little easier - just a tad

I really thought I would be in the minority on that, but I saw plenty of people saying the same thing. I was ready to cry out of frustration with it at Target yesterday and that was the 2nd time I've gone with one on.

If you’re planning on wearing a mask to Disney and haven’t been wearing them yet I suggest you “practice.” If you wear glasses you will need to look up ways to keep your glasses from fogging up.

I wore a plain cotton mask to Target yesterday and had tons of issues. It was the wrong size and kept slipping. It was also super hot, so maybe try different materials.

Might be trial and error until you get it right.

I also wear glasses or sunglasses when wearing contacts.. find a mask that you can pinch tight across the bridge of the nose. It “closes” the top of the mask and you shouldn’t get the fogging

Yes I looked it up when I got home. I have a good pleated one with a filter pocket and metal nose bridge, but I had to wash it and it was still damp.

I also read that you can put a tissue in above your mouth to help seal it a bit.

When we go skiing we buy this anti fog cream for our goggles it works great. You should try that...its on Amazon

Nothing like waiting until after the fact to make decisions.

Insane what's going on in California if that actually comes to fruition.

Stuff like this is why I've said many times that whatever decision Disney makes with regards to opening - they better have a stiff spine and an even stiffer upper lip. Because the pressure from the doomsayers will be immediate, immense, and Disney will be accused of wanting people to get sick and die. Has nothing to do with "science" at this point, it really doesn't. Doesnt matter if Disney wants to open on June 1 of this year or June 1, 2021.

Set your guidelines Disney, stick to them, and have no issues supporting them. Tell people you have faith in your staff and cast members. Tell people you have faith in the people visiting that they will take care of themselves and help take care of each other. Tell people who may not be comfortable visiting yet that they will be there when they are comfortable. And be confident in your policies. Across the country, businesses are now waged in a PR war with media and heavy-handed government in order to simply open their doors. Its just insanity.

Same. We go every summer and wearing a mask in that heat with sunglasses is a no go for us.

I have the added bonus of having Rosacea, which is the under control 90% of the time. The mask I wear has caused a lovely flare up
So I’m looking for a lighter weight option that will still do the job. Modern life problems.. lol

 

[NJlauren]

I'm shocked at how many are saying if Disney requires a mask you wont go.

Frankly i hope they are required for everyone over 4. Do i like wearing a mask? No, but i know that if someone who is sick and doesn't know it (asymptomatic) is wearing a mask my chance of getting sick is significantly reduced.

Ugh I feel you. I am enjoying the lovely world of adult acne on my lower face, so the mask really doesn't help!

Why is that shocking? My overall comfort level is more important to me than being at Disney.

Its not insanity. This virus is just going to disappear when we open things. Its the government's fault idiots can't practice social distancing. It really isn't difficult to stay 6ft away from people.

I really hope the Disney ones fit kids better then the ones I’ve bought for mine so far. All the ones I’ve bought for them so far fall off their little faces, and they keep adjusting them and touching them when we practice at home, defeating the purpose entirely. I hope people are kind when we begin to venture out again and know that us parents are trying to get our little ones to keep them on - it’s hard for them!
