Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[wdwlver]

I’m with you. Even if they announce they’re open for my trip, there are so many things that could stop us from going. A mask is the least of my worries. I will never understand the obsession with the mask discussion. You have to wear them if you want go, at least for the time being. It is what it is- stomping your feet about it won’t change a thing.

Definitely not stomping my feet, will cancel our summer wdw trip and stay at beach instead as there are plenty of us for whom masks are a deal breaker. On community board in the mask thread a mod reported today of seeing a cm faint at DS. Said it’s not easy wearing mask in the heat. Some lucky person will get my room at the BCVs this summer and I’m happy for them. I’ll be back at some later date.

Reports are coming in that this evening guests at DS are not wearing masks.

2 people without masks, and families sitting down not near anyone.

People overreact too quickly

Twitter outrage from people " disturbed "

A large majority listen, sometimes a few won't. We don't know it the mask has been off for 10 mins, or 10 seconds. All videos I have seen today most had masks on.

Clickbait. Their “evidence” is people who obviously have fresh drinks, one on the phone, one who is half wearing a mask with a bunch of other people in the pic wearing them, and the other is people socially distanced on benches. The Tweeter wants hits from outraged people on both sides of the debate

I looked at all four pictures on Twitter and I counted 9 people without masks on. Only one was drinking something at the time. One was talking on a cell phone. It's only day one at DS, so maybe the person posting had a point?

Should we really be publicly internet photo shaming random strangers who clearly are holding and presumably in the middle of drinking a large beverage?

Maybe. I'm just posting it and not qualifying it. Maybe there will be more posters throughout the evening that can either corroborate or discredit it.

I expect they’ll stick around until a vaccine. The argument to wear them makes sense. If you wear a mask, you might reduce the spread of a dangerous virus. If you don’t wear a mask, you’re more likely to spread it. The virus doesn’t care if you’re disabled.

A vaccine may never come. Will we not wear masks forever.

We are definitely on a roller coaster ride today with the news of a possible opening date being announced tomorrow... but somehow we have looped back around to masks

The coasters I want to ride are the 3 mountains and Hagrid’s motorbikes

Not asking to be argumentative at all, but is what you are saying a medically proven fact? I ask in all seriousness - is there any medical data that suggests that someone has the same chance of contracting the virus from someone that has very recently tested negative vs someone that has not yet been tested - I totally understand that people that test positive have different extents of the virus - some get a fever-
some don't - some have difficulty breathing - some don't - some lose sense of taste and/or smell - some don't - some are totally asymptomatic -
But as far as people that have been tested - recently - and tested negative - wouldn't they be safer to be around than someone that has not been tested - regardless of symptoms ?

I think, you need two negative tests in two days to be pretty certain you don't have it. Of course, you can go DS, catch it, and spread it.

What about the Hulk or the Mummy?

I believe I heard the same - think I also heard people that had to have three negative days in a row

In other news,

Have we discussed random people grilling hot dogs outside of Cookes of Dublin at DS yet? That seems like a fun guest behavior discussion point.

(that happened today, by the way)

Do you think this will be a trend for the coming days/weeks? If so, then I won't be driving over to DS this week or next just in case a photo is taken of me sipping a drink with my mask out of the way.

I work in ADA enforcement and we didn't come to any decisions, but we discussed whether the "direct threat" exception might allow such a policy

Curious if this was addressed from an ADA perspective. Deaf access. One of my best friends is really struggling because her way to function in the world is through reading lips.

I will say this for the last time. Its a shame to see so many keep coming up with ways to avoid wearing a mask. . I thought most Disney fans were better then that.

Ooh those are awesome too and rip ride rockit! I love the room with the fire on the ceiling in the mummy!

Not sure if serious........

Just because someone tested negative a few days ago doesn't mean they are immune from the disease. You assume both people in your scenario are positive. Anyone wearing a mask puts the people around them at less risk of contracting the virus.

I understand that - but just speaking from a logical perspective ,( not assuming that ppl are positive ) wouldn't most ppl feel safer being around someone that has actually been tested recently (and tested negative) than being around someone that has not been tested ?

We live in nyc, the epicenter of hell, and so many people are walking around without masks right now - not siding with them - we wear them everywhere -
Just stating a fact

You don't have to wear them everywhere. If you can maintain social distancing, you don't have to wear them.
