I mean.. green has gone out the window everywhere and being as sanitary as possible has taken priority.

Both can be done. If we ignore environmental needs to slow the spread of covid, we’ll just have a different global disaster in a few years. For this example, bags made of natural materials that degrade over time do exist.
 
That isn’t paranoia. We are learning more and more about how this is transmitted, and people passing through the exact same spots one after another without masks (like HM) does not seem like a good spot to allow people to take off masks. People probably will, but that doesn’t mean it should be encouraged.

The difference with indoor rides and restaurants is people need to eat, and people need to take off their masks to do so. If people could eat with masks on they’d be mandatory in restaurants too.
We will comply with whatever the rules are. But I do think it’s all reached a level of hysteria for many things.
To be honest, I think that’s why you see such a spike in a lot of areas b/c ppl are bucking the hysteria. I don’t agree with this tactic, but I think ppl see some of the unreasonable things so instead of doing at least some of the things that are required, they decide to do nothing. It’s a normal human behavior phenomenon, if you make too many ridiculous rules, ppl ignore all rules, even the important ones.

And we don't know if it IS being done. They very well could be sanitizing and re-using. But it is way easier to complain about something before knowing these days. These do have to be see through as well.

I’m just making the point that most companies aren’t because they can’t do both. ie., reusable cups/mugs, bags, towels, etc.. not to mention the additional clothing item everywhere is required to wear on their face that has to be mass produced. It’s just unfortunate.. a lot of it can’t be helped right now.
 
i just got teary watching the live stream of MK via ResortTV1 - Get Your Ears On random street pop up parade - emotions happening in my eyes.

from what i've seen during this live stream, there are so many things in place - plexiglass dividers between the line queues/ride lines, CM's wiping everything down, social distancing stickers everywhere on the ground in the lines, oh and people walking out of the store outside of splash mountain with STROLLERS FILLED WITH MERCH to subsequently, i'm sure, sell on ebay...

don't they have limits on these things? I know it shouldnt' but that really "grinds my gears".

I haven't seen many gaiters - the line for Splash Mountain is HUGE. But the guy said they are doing one group per boat so even if it's just two people riding in one group/family - they get the whole boat/raft/craft/whatever.

When you’re trying to open one of the most popular theme parks in the world in an area and country that are seeing major spikes during a pandemic, strict “unreasonable” rules are a need.

It’s unfortunate there will always be people too stubborn and selfish to see that. I’m glad Disney (from what we know at this point) does not seem to be pandering to the type of people who are stubbornly refusing to keep others safe, and I hope we continue to see that.
 
Dinosaur and Splash are both running one party per ride vehicle today. The Splash line looks SUPER long because of that and the 6-foot spacing, but they're saying it's only a 10-15 minute wait.
MDE showing 30 minute wait for Splash right now. It was only showing 15 minutes a few minutes ago.
