We are on the way to MK from Pop now. At 8:05 the bus lines were very long and snaking down towards the other bus stops. They were pretty good about having multiple buses after one another, with maybe a 10min lag before the next set of buses. We were on a bus by 8:30 and almost to the MK bus lot now.

Same as always, in some cases they are handed out, in some you grab from the basket

I am bring wipes, to wipe them down... not going to make a big deal out of it, just do it quietly...and keep enjoying the day

I´ve seen people walking around with a tub of wipes, no one will look at you differently

This may have been asked and answered already, but do they make you wear a mask while riding RnR? At that speed, I don't see how that's even feasible. And on other rides, like Slinky Dog, you risk having it fly off your face.

The guidance Disney released around face coverings is that it must fit snugly to your face and be secured with ear loops or ties. If your mask truly fits snugly and is secured properly, it shouldn't be an issue.

You have to wear a mask at all times except when seating down to dine or swimming.

Do they require a mask while on the pool deck at the resorts if you're sitting in a lounge chair? I know this is not required at Universal resorts, so just curious how Disney is handling.


Epcot question - any reports on how the lines have been at park opening? I imagine most people are capable of making an 11am "rope drop", and I would imagine many people will want to get there at opening to maximize their park day due to the shortened hours. Just curious how bad the line to get in at opening was, and how they were keeping people distanced appropriately.

We are here now and I would agree that 95% of people are compliant with their masks, including kids. The other 5% do walk around with their mask under their chin or not at all. Only when a cast member says something to them do they put them on, then once the cast member is out of sight, off comes their masks again. So irresponsible....

The group in front of us was probably only 3 feet away from us, as they spread out behind their marker on the ground when they sat down.

When we're out in the open, I have the option of steering clear of idiots with their masks down. When I am trapped in a queue, I have no options whatsoever. Their apparently overwhelming need to eat right that second apparently trumps my desire to feel safe.

Every time we got a snack or a drink, we found a tucked away corner with nobody around before taking our masks off. I don't see why that is so hard?

I benefitted from your experience. I now stop two markers back instead of one. It gives me a little wiggle room should one party or the other stop a little too close. So far, it has been working well. Thanks!

The morning was the most crowded for lines and walkways but between 10 and 1 we did MMRR, slinky, toy story mania, ROR and took some shade breaks. I think the wait times are definitely inflated and for the most part the lines are constantly moving. Also, with social distancing the line experience is much better than before, so the waits don’t bother us at all.

We took a break and went back to the room from 2-5 and when we got back to HS everything was basically a walk on. We did MMRR twice and waited about 25 mins each time, maybe less (and the wait times were posted at 60-80 mins). Then slinky, aliens, MFSR and had dinner and did some shopping. Just a note, they were locking the store doors at exactly 8pm so if you wait till the end of the day to shop, get in there before the official park closing time.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful!

LOL... a tub of wipes... I just keep some in a ziploc in my bag, and use as needed... now when I had little kids, I would take a tub of wipes with us...

Do they require a mask while on the pool deck at the resorts if you're sitting in a lounge chair?

As of July 5, no, you were free to remove your mask anywhere on the pool deck, including sitting in a lounge chair or just walking through the pool area. There are recreation cast members at the pools keeping track of chair cleaning and spacing and I never saw them ask anyone to put on a face covering. However, I didn't see this policy written anywhere, it was just like all guests understood it.

For those that have been there, do you notice less senior citizens than usual?

I've been reading lots of posts and watching live streams, but haven't encountered Mission Space yet. Anyone know what the safety procedures for Mission Space are, or other rides that have head rest/shoulder restraints? Mission Space really stuck out to me on the list of open attractions because of the tiny space, shoulder restraints, and allll the things to touch for the interactive parts. We don't do the orange side, but my kids really like the green side. I'm looking ahead and wondering if we should skip it this time around.

MS is open to one party per capsule. Not sure what you mean about head rest and shoulder restraints. Same procedure as everywhere else It seems all the attractions are being cleaned every two hours. There's hand sanitizer at the entrance and exit and there's a restroom nearby fore you ro wash your hands

I was curious about the shoulder restraint cleaning procedure because it is closer to ones face than other restraints, so therefore more likely to actually be touched by ones face.

like I said, same procedure as all other attractions. Remember you can't take off thee mask, if you are nervous about it maybe bring wipes and clean them when you sit. The most important part is to clean your hands after riding and don't touch your face, the other thing you can do is to wash your face right after, if that would make you feel better

Honestly, the enclosed space would worry me more than the restraints given the info that's been coming out lately about droplets remaining in the air. I don't know that I'm super confident in the ventilation of those capsules.

No, but I don't normally see a lot of seniors at WDW. There were some there during our trip this past week, like usual.

According to the app, it has a 5 minute wait. I'd assume its working

I noticed on the bus back from MK that they had the roof emergency exits open about an inch to aid in air circulation. I didn’t notice if the bus this morning was that way as I was assigned to the front seat. Coming back I was in the back seat so I had a view down the entire bus. I was also surprised to see that they moved the Pop stop to the second aisle of bus stops so we didn’t have to walk all the way out like we usually do at MK. That was very welcome. I was also surprised to see a mask vending machine in the bus depot. I assumed you wouldn’t be allowed to get on a bus without one. Is that not correct? Maybe it’s there in case your mask breaks?

I will say to anyone coming in July or August, if you get a day without clouds to shield the sun, wearing a mask is very hot. My first two days were cloudy and it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as it was today. I am rethinking my park reservations for August since I may need a day or two to just hang at the hotel instead of hitting them every day.

I am glad I came for a short trip now so I know better what to expect. Plus it just plain made me happy, something I have not been for a few months.
