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.
In situations like that (outside) there is not enough time to achieve the infectious viral load that will make yous sick when you are standing 6 feet apart or where wind and the infinite outdoor space for viral dilution reduces viral load. I wouldn't think a mask would be necessary at a campground unless you're in a common space such as the bathroom.
 
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
Sending your DD all the love, support, and prayers I can muster during this hard time. Please thank her from all of us for all that she does! It’s been truly inspirational to see how gracefully CMs have handled this whole thing, and to see their passion and love for what they do never ceases to amaze me (even during these trying times).
 
wow this thread got busy fast and idek what was the “news” that came out. Recap?
Shanghai Disney opened this morning (in Shanghai time of course), and Bob Chapek was on a call with a news network this morning. During the call, he said "it's likely that we'll require masks for cast members and guests" in domestic parks as well. You can imagine where it's gone from there.
 

regarding masks? I saw everyone wearing it inside the park.
Did you watch the actual opening (not the video where the executive shows off the tape markings? The opening event clearly shows some CM not wearing masks and waving at guests. Nearly all guests were wearing masks, but I did see some with it down on their chins or not covering their noses.

To recap the two developments today:
- Several Custodial CMs have been called back to work for Disney Springs’ reopening on May 20
- Shanghai Disneyland reopened today after a closure that began Jan 25
- Bob Chapek was on CNBC discussing the parks and COVID-19. Said Disney would be working with health experts and local officials to determine when a reopening was safe. Also mentioned that masks were likely to be required by CMs and guests

Oh so not an actual release from WDW or Disneyland in terms of procedures & operations? Similar to Iger’s temp check statement last month.

I did watch it.
 
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
Maybe they had new hires in the pipeline for Traditions and they are just resuming that hiring process now? They’ll need to replace the CP CMs so they would likely have spots for people who were in the process of being hired before the shutdown.

Similar, yes, but much more definitive. Back then, Iger said they "were looking into it" but Chapek is now saying masks being required is "likely." He expanded on it quite a bit as well, saying that Disney's decision making will be reliant on how guests respond and that they're certainly expecting Americans to be more resistant to wearing masks.

Sounds like he’s been reading this thread every day like us 🤡
 
With more than 60 visits to WDW over the years (and obviously a fan), I can say I won't return until I feel it's safe to do so and that the experience will be worth the time and effort. I don't really care what anyone else may or may not do, but I will certainly be watching and reading about the experiences of the early adopters in order to determine when I want to return.

Here's to hoping for a quick return to a world where worrying about ADRs, FP+, and ticket price increases are the most stressful events we need to deal with!
 
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.
Just texted her, he works at Disney university

Exceptionally unlikely you would need to wear a mask if you aren't around any other people besides your own household. The problem is that crowds form at the theme parks. Heck, if people could actually effectively physical distance themselves, they could even have water parks open without masks (except when getting food). But people would need to actually follow the rules, and you can see on this thread many have argued that too many people have no interest. It's a shame.
 
They will stop rides and have kicked people out for having your phone out on a ride.

Been there, done that. You know what sucks? When people bring their phones out on lift hills like Magnum and then the ride goes “down” while you’re on it. 🙃 I was a CP season pass holder, so I saw this happened a lot more than it should have.
