I saw this last night, and your analogy kind of is in line with it. You're welcome for the mental image

The only "crossing swords" allowed at WDW are with light-sabers.

Following up on masks being mandatory at Shanghai Disney, here's the website quote - "Guests must wear a mask during their entire visit (except when dining), and will also be reminded to maintain respectful social distances at all times while in stores, queues and restaurants."

I would to see that happen here too. Its hot and humid there and they have no issue with it. Before anyone says they are used to it. Times are changing, it will take time to get used to. IMO to reopen safely is to keep measures in place to keep it from spreading too fast. Keep social distancing and wear masks

My autistic daughter and son with SPD wear them without any issue. I am fully aware that not all kids with special needs will be able to. But, those aren't the kids that we referring to.

My sweet 6 yr old grandson who has SPD was told by his baby sis that if he went outside “the nasty virus” would make him sick and die ( She’s 5 and is our resident drama queen ) No convincing him otherwise...
When I dropped of the package of school worksheets & learning tools the other day, I included masks for both of them, with a note for the GS that he could now go outside to play and ride his bike - that the mask along with his really good hand washing and sticking to playing with just his sister while outside would help him feel safer. Like wearing his bike helmet does.
An hour later I got a pic from my daughter, GS out in the sunshine on his bike, wearing his new mask (and bike helmet) giving a big thumbs up and a thanks gram.. lol.

It said they would be encouraged and sometimes required for many others of you. That to me says guests too. I realize a lot of you don't want to hear that.

There is nothing in that that remotely sounds that way, All I hear is someone trying to bring everyone down

Here’s a thought... Disney isn’t selling masks because it’s cool or trendy right now, and don’t care that you might want them for at home.. Selling these ahead of reopening is a disney cash grab - and will continue to be one if masks are mandatory in the parks. Recouping some lost revenue

I'm not trying to bring anyone down.

I believe they are donating the proceeds.

EDIT: I swear I meant profits! I'm sorry.

You are picking apart a letter meant for team members only and trying to make it into something its not

But if you're running around, and wear the pants around your face, you'll breathe in excess carbon dioxide...and while you may pee on everyone, you may also collapse from hyperventilation before you ever feel the urge to pee...

Well the good news is, masks aren't made from denim, but a nice breathable cotton material, that many people wear in hot and sticky climates without issue

Yes.. 1 million masks to disadvantaged areas for kids and up to 1 million dollars by September 30th to a medical charity. Very honorable

 

[jknezek]

I believe they are donating the proceeds.

No. They are donating the PROFITS. Completely different. Proceeds are the money paid on the sale, profits are the difference between what it cost and what it sold for. It's still a good thing to do, but profits are way less than proceeds. It's also capped at $1MM. But again, it's still a good thing to do.

from shop disney..

Disney is committed to serving the communities where we live and work. During these challenging times, we’re using the power of our timeless stories and beloved characters to address our guests’ needs for family-friendly reusable cloth face masks.

Disney is donating one million cloth face masks for children and families in underserved and vulnerable communities across the U.S. that will be distributed by MedShare (www.medshare.org). 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.

Most of you are doing the same saying it's opening soon. Its not saying that either.

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?

Walking around a theme park all day is different than dealing with it a few places for a little while. Imo the whole mask thing is out of control anyway. Staying away from ppl is the most important protection. Masks should be only if that can’t be avoided.

Thats hard to do at a theme park.

Isn't it pretty normal for people to wear masks in China? Seriously asking.

I am just waiting for Mr. "I paid 10k for this trip I won't wear a mask if I don't want to." CM says, "sir you agreed to wear a mask when you paid the 10k." Mr. 10k asks for the manager. They give him extra FPs and he never has to wear one.

In many parts of Asia, yes. And, as my husband pointed out today... women all over the middle east (and other parts of the world) wear heavy face coverings year round, even in the heat of summer.

When he says "we are preparing to welcome guests back" ???? That would typically mean sooner not later

 

[rpb718]

As in all WDW transportation - buses, monorails, boats, etc.

Then that is something each individual is going to have to weigh as to whether or not to visit. If its not comfortable to you, maybe not coming to a theme park is for you.

When you break your leg, you don't ask everyone else to wear a cast.
