It's hard to social distance in a theme park, even with low crowds. Read that blog about the first day at Shanghai Disney. The stores were still crowded as people spilled into them. And that was with barely anyone there.
Agree entirely. Be it a store or just turning a corner on a walkway within the parks, it is entire possible to find yourself suddenly with people less than 6ft in front of you and then turn around and find those behind you also less than 6ft away.
 
What are you arguing for? It seems that you're arguing to leave everyone sheltering in place until some point in the future when it is deemed to be "safe". In reality, people need to take the measures that they see fit once things start to reopen. If the government allows Disney to reopen, I won't begrudge anyone for going. Everyone needs to make the decision for themselves.
Disney is going to make people wear masks and they're going to lay out means to keep people separated. What more do you expect? Some people will not follow that guidance, but that's life.
I expect Disney to take it seriously and not just have policies on paper. I expect the rules to be enforced. If they aren't, and a cluster is traced back to Disney, that is bad for everyone, including Disney. I have been to other theme parks where I've seen various rules quite strictly enforced and no one is sobbing that their day wasn't as magical as a result.
 
Where are you seeing this? The press release and any articles that come up state they are still required.
They are still required by Disney in Shanghai, the government of Shanghai has relaxed their requirement from required to recommended. People have gotten glimpses of a few non-masked people at Disney Shanghai and combined with Chapek’s comments to CNBC this morning it’s kicked off an impassioned debate here on how strict a WDW mask requirement might be.
 
um, what? I’d wear a mask and stand upside down on my head while singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backward if they told me too. There’s no way that’s keeping me away from Disney no matter how much I don’t like it for target trips at home.

Same. Not Disney but I'd walk on broken glass to go to Universal sometime soon. I already bought a 50 pack of disposable masks for our August trip.

Where have you gone that has enforced policies better than Disney?

Agreed, I think people using logical reasoning will come to this conclusion.

I personally just worry about the Mask Justice Warriors in the park, instead of being kind to others and making the best of it in the short term.

Gotcha - that's what I thought. They have arguably the most brand value of any company, anything to tarnish that will be mitigated. IMO the mask requirements will be strict. It is just a good business decision.

I’m sure a majority of people in the mark would either point out people not complying or vocally complain to the people in general that they are not complying

Either way, I see it working out one way or another.

I do foresee some arguments in the park though between guests

All the more reason why Disney should be out there enforcing the rules and not leaving it to "vigilante justice."
 
I'm already seeing it. People are quickly getting to the breaking point.

I follow numerous threads on this board. Just look at how the tone and attitudes have changed over the last 6 weeks. It’s easy to argue some have already got to their breaking point. You see people arguing the most petty things. That’ll get worse before it gets better.

I don’t envy any of our leaders. It literally is a no-win situation.
 
What about resorts and open spaces there? I will be camping, doesn't seem productive or protective for anyone at all to wear a mask inside my own campsite, which is definitely more than 6 feet from the next campsite.
 
Well i have a friend of a friend report, so take it for exactly what it is
A friend's nephew has been called back, he is one of the trainers during Traditions, the 2 day class for incoming, new cms
Now, the regular theme parks cm schedule has not come out and the Disney jobs site has no jobs posted

This *could* be promising news...but speculative at the moment. However it's likely no new jobs are posted due to the CM survey in which they were asked if they'd be willing to work different jobs than they had before...so this would be cross-training in a different area than they were used to....IF this is true.

Yeah, that's why i thought it was weird for Traditions cm to be called back. Cross training happens without the need for cm to do Traditions again. But my friend has no reason to lie to me, so it's still a wait and see

Perhaps it's a modified Traditions? As it will be a completely different environment and I can only imagine incredibly stressful for CMs as they deal with guests who won't want to comply...just reminding and refreshing everyone?

Maybe? Traditions is exactly what it sounds like, a class to share the history of the company and walk through the park explaining the 4 keys. The on hand training comes at each location with the appropriate leads, not tradition cm.
Anyways, I've been dealing all day helping my DD with the unemployment fiasco, finally got something put through but who knows when she'll get her first check , she told me, I would give anything to start working tomorrow, it's such s mess

This may be too much detail, so no worries if you don’t know or can’t answer, but do you know if the nephew is a Traditions facilitator at Disney University or does the classes for third party operators at Disney Springs? I know that those operators also have to go through an abridged version of Traditions, and some of these locations may be hiring new untrained people after laying off their staffs.
