Simulated Cruises on the Disney Dream to Sail Late June from Port Canaveral

This has been the policy since reopening.

Didn't they briefly experiment with digitally adding masks to those without? I don't think it lasted long.

Lasted less than a week IIRC

Yea because they were afraid it would become a “thing” where people wanted to have the digital mask put on their face. People are so weird, but I believe it.

It honestly felt like a weird place to spend resources on developing anyway.

That's an interesting point, I'd never heard that part of it and never would have thought of that. But it makes sense

It's really too bad Disney never went any further in developing the idea of putting a Mickey head or a circle - or something - over the faces not wearing a mask. Or simply delete the pics from that party/person's account rather than everyone else's too.

Probably a logistical pain though. But if they take the time to sort through pics, why not one step further? WDW charges for the ability to get the photos but in this case doesn't deliver. (especially feel bad for people where it might have been their only chance to ride on a trip).

::: end rant

this happened to us repeatedly on our spring break trip and all of the cast members we talked to just shrugged their shoulders and said sorry (not that they could do anything). We were never allowed to get a photo where someone had a mask off even if not in our party.

Thanks! To my knowledge, Grand Floridian and Yacht Club were the only two resorts that offered it since re-opening. Curious if GF will also eliminate it!!! I hope you’re having a great time!!!

we were at BCV in May & got stuck without milk for the baby. We had to order from room service & not only did we have to wait about an hour, but it cost something like $20 for 2 tiny child size cartons!
it was our fault for not planning ahead and at the time, it was worth every penny!

The word "soon" is wearing thin.

Word of the week: "Now!" I leave in 12 days.

Gaahhhh! I want this

And... the article mentioned seeing minor construction in HS Beauty and Beast theatre. Maybe just maybe...

Yeah the news comes in waves. A few weeks ago I thought everything would be open by my June 26 trip, now I'm just hoping we maybe get fireworks or another restaurant or two.

I think we are gonna need a mid-week dance.

I know, it's disappointing! I'm just expecting it to be how it is for our June 23rd trip and if more opens up then guess it's a happy surprise. I'm still a WDW newbie so there's still lots to explore for us anyways.

I don’t think they have & it’s really annoying me. I’m glad I am no longer there b/c on our last day, it was really annoying to me to deal with the masks when I knew wdw was the only place left doing it. I’m seriously going to consider cancelling July if it’s not gone by then. I work in a school district & they even lifted it for us here for schools now. So I’m so done with it now.

Well for every person with your view there is someone with the opposite. I’m hoping they don’t change the current mask policy before my August trip. I have 3 children under 12 who cannot be vaccinated and I do not really want them to be indoors with the unmasked and unvaccinated. I will seriously consider canceling our trip if they drop the indoor mask mandate. I’m hoping Disney remembers that their entire company is built on entertaining small children.

I have a child under 12 too who has been to wdw several times during the last year including this past week. I am comfortable with the cdc guidelines & understand that Covid presents a minimal risk to him. And having him continue to wear a mask is ridiculous so, I too hope Disney remembers they were built on entertaining small children as his trips were much more enjoyable before he was forced to wear a mask in the 90 plus heat. Schools here have stopped requiring a masks as of last week. Not sure the situation in your state, but here kids will be around unmasked, unvaccinated ppl.

eta: you might want to check out the here & now threads. Mask compliance is not very good right now especially in ride queues. At best many ppl are wearing masks incorrectly or slipping them off when CMs aren’t looking. We got on a bus once last week where a kid & dad didn’t have on a mask at all. Bus driver never said a word. Most ppl aren’t wearing them at all in the bathrooms. So, if you’re that concerned, you may want to reschedule regardless of the actual policy.

Yes
The news slowed with the holiday weekend. Hopefully Disney is ready to get back to work now
