They'll be a few people that won't be happy with that

No outbreaks linked to WDW since reopening. So a double whammy

While it's good to see cases finally dropping I don't think it will change much in regards to the so called pent up demand. Many people will not have the money to travel like they used to. A lot of people aren't working right now.

Who said anything about this changing the demand?

That should their parks financially. Since Disney and Universal aren't doing their Halloween things many will probably give Busch Gardens a chance

A little earlier I saw total madness at pop when someone walking (with a child and another adult) told another person (With two children) to put their masks on correctly. It was not well received by the dad and he flipped out. I got my daughter out of there quickly but it wasn’t pretty.

I just don’t get what ppl think will happen when they confront someone’s kids regardless of if they’re technically in the right. It’s not going to go well.

I would never tell anyone else to fix their mask. I would just get away from them as quickly as possible. I mean I just came in from a doc appointment and the receptionist wasn't even wearing one. No plexiglass, either. What can you do?

I see Tambu Lounge is now on the list of Open restaurants here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/dine
But its actual page still says "Temporarily Unavailable".

Anyone know if it has reopened or not?

Went to the post office yesterday, FedEx driver came in to drop off packages, no mask. People are either going to wear masks, or theyre not. Getting confrontational is only going to make matters worse. If I argue with someone to put on their mask, they’re not going to suddenly change their opinions on masks and become pro-mask.

Now, distancing is another story. I have, and I will continue to tell people to back off from me if they’re within 3 feet. Not everyone can judge what 6 ft is with a blind eye, so I try to give a little bit of a benefit of the doubt

That’s that thing. There is no confusion now. If ppl are not wearing masks or not wearing them properly, they know what they’re doing. Confronting them will most likely do very little but escalate the situation especially if ppl’s kids are involved.

Bound to happen, sorry it was in front of your daughter (Glad you had a plan and that the plan Get Outta The Crazy People’s area!)

Do you think you will buy APs again once things have settled down a bit more? Or do you think it will have changed the amount of visits you will make for a long while to come?

I need park hopping back. I can deal with a lot of cutbacks- but that loss is too much.

Why is this making me think of the Olympics?

But I do love them!!

I'm all for wearing a mask in public but I don't comment on adults, let alone their children.

Or they can just develop better rules that suit certain situations like this rather than going the blanket mask rule is easier.

I understand the blanket rule and why they did what they did. But there is ZERO difference being socially distanced and stopping to take a drink of water (permissible) and being socially distanced and stopping to take a quick photo (not permissible). But it's all about perception right now and I would assume they just don't want that PR.

back from MK, nothing to report, pretty normal crowds and high mask compliance. I will say the walkway from GF to MK looks done I think it's a matter of saying goodbye to the NBA and then we will see it open, the temp tent is up by the monorail station and everything
