Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SaintsManiac]

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!

I got one for my daughter that fits behind the head. It can be adjusted. She still doesn't want to wear it AND she wears glasses which is a double whammy, but at least I can get it to fit properly. I don't bring her out right now, so I'm glad she doesn't have to struggle with it.

well if Disney are selling them on Shop Disney, its a very big likely hood they will sell them in the parks and make them mandatory for guests.

I try to explain this to my wife every time I see the credit card statement. Items on ShopDisney are not mandatory.

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

I just think its going to be the norm. Here you can not go into any store with out one already. If everywhere requires it for a while are you going to stay home?

My almost 6 year old loves hers, its strange to be honest. Younger then that and its causing a real issue. I do think kids are going to take a long time to adjust to this.

If I were Disney I’d wait a week or two for any opening announcement to see how the phase 1ish goes in Central Florida. I believe the governor said this wasn’t a full phase one, as they might open more things as the numbers come in. They also might be watching Georgia. Too few days to call it a trend, but the numbers thus far on new cases aren’t really promising.

These southern states may be going for a modified Swedish version. I know we here in Florida have lots of hospital capacity that could handle a spike, and the more immune people we get the more that could go back to work. The governor said they would be watching hospital admittance by the hour in case they need to rein things back in. Disney and Universal might want to wait and see if it’s a stable situation before they open up.

Executive Order from DeSantis extends airport screenings and screenings at the border, what I can't find is for how long (section 2 point D)

I will limit it as much as possible. Running to the store is not the same as wearing one in a theme park for 10 hours.

I live in NJ too, and yes have to wear one when I go to the store, but like I said we go in the summer and no, I’d rather not go than be in 90 degree weather with 100 percent humidity and a mask on.

My 7 year old also enjoys wearing his! It’s still too big though, and won’t stay on. My twin 5 year olds are a different story - my daughter will wear hers for two minutes tops right now. My son is autistic, and won’t even touch it.

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.

I don't think Disney can require masks for certain things. How are you supposed to wear a mask swimming in a resort pool or at Blizzard Beach, for example? What about roller coasters or other attractions where it can easily fall off? What about while eating?

I could see masks being encouraged, and certain staff wearing them based on their possible interactions with the public. But not mandatory.

You're never going to prevent illness, from COVID-19 or anything else. If you're afraid of getting sick in a certain setting, you're just either going to have to accept the risk or don't go. That's the lesson a lot of people are going to have to learn.

My read of the tea leaves...
Although I don’t agree with it, the parks open early June with surprisingly close-to-normal operations. Most of the changes fall on the backs of cast members - masks, increased cleaning, etc. Biggest effect on guests is no nighttime shows and some distancing in lines, theaters, etc.

well if Disney are selling them on Shop Disney, its a very big likely hood they will sell them in the parks and make them mandatory for guests. So you will have to choose, wear the mask and go to Disney or not wear a mask and not go to Disney

Or...they see everyone is buying knock-off Disney ones so decided to get in on the game while at the same time doing something nice.

Valid point, i guess we will wait and see.

All valid points, but i think they may make it mandatory at the start, not necessarily forever, but if they want to open June 15th they may say its mandatory. Of course while eat or swimming not the case. It may be a strongly encouraged thing. It is of course a wait and see but i do feel like lots of places are going to make it mandatory if they want to open sooner rather then later...

The woman I bought mine from usually makes ears. She turned her business into mask making. She's donating and selling. She had a link set up where you could order a donated one to cover the costs. I was happy to help out. Her quality is top notch, too.

We got an adjustable one for the kids, you can pull it tighter on the side, i don't know what the piece would be called but it plastic and slides to tighten it, i am going to try and get more of them if other masks don't fit as well.

It will be a struggle, and the baby screams every time one of us puts on a mask! so thats been fun

Additionally, he is looking to open some state parks starting next Monday. He did mention watching how other states do with a more liberal phase 1 opening.

With the salons/barber shops still closed as part of our phase 1, I certainly don't see the barber shop at MK being open even with a broader opening.

Same here! We bought a Marvel one and a Mickey Mouse one!

Then I bought myself a pretty chiffon scarf one because it will be cooler/lighter and because I'm silly.

LOL I am not required to visit Disney. If they insist all guests must wear masks, I won't visit there. It's pretty simple to understand.

At the top of the Everest spike there will now be a bunch of masks in place of the hair ties.
