I am in a state that is almost opened, we’re at stage 4.5 and in two weeks we hope to be at stage 5. My county and city are currently not requiring masks. I typically don’t wear one, I do social distance, I use hand sanitizer all the time, I have a small business I don’t require masks but we do sanitize with Lysol and wipe down everything after a client leaves the office. My kiddos 4 and 6 go to a daycare that I cannot walk in without a mask. This is my church’s preschool that we are now using as a daycare. I’m on the school board and we have strict rules. Here’s the deal, I think mask wearing is a personal choice. However, If I’m in a place of business or if our mayor or governor requires a mask, I will comply.
We are scheduled to arrive on July 28th. I have ordered face guards for myself and my kids, my daughter has asthma and isn’t doing well With masks. I have one layer and 2 layer masks being made for us right now. I’ve ordered a ton of fun scent hand sanitizer and have stocked up on wipes. I’m renting a car. I’ve also got a large stroller that I will be pushing my very tall kiddos in so they are less likely to be in people’s spaces and others in theirs. We talk everyday about the new rules. I’ve told them over and over again that mommy will take them out of the parks if they don’t comply and that a cast member is the least of their concerns if they don’t follow Disney’s rules. No exceptions. I’ve warned them that we may not even get to go in the parks or at all.
My point is we’re a disney family. We’re blessed. I’ve owned DVC for almost 15 years. They have reaped that benefit. As much as I hate masks, I respect the measures put in place to protect the cast members and guests. I’m sure we’re going to be hot and uncomfortable but I plan on being super careful and I accept the risk. We won’t be able to quarantine for 14 days after we get back, but we will for 6 and I will be wearing a mask in my office and our daycare will be requesting my kids wear a mask for an additional 8 days, and They will have temps taken every 2 hours. I’m ok with all of these measures. What is right for some may not be right for others. I respect everyone and what they feel comfortable with, and I’m not going to feel guilty. I wish everyone going in the next few months a happy, and healthy trip.
