Virtually all of us have cell phone cameras. Maybe taking pictures and sending to Disney or posting to their social media accounts might help?

I didn’t want to sound creepy BUT ......I do have pictures of the mob of girls, people on busses without masks .....I’m basically a covert documentarian at this point .....I do plan on sending them to Disney. But I also wondered if they are going to just allow walking and eating which if that’s the case they need to stop playing the recording that says remain stationary and socially distanced. I was very mad today when I had to tell my young child she has to wait for her Ice cream until we find “a spot” and we are walking past over 50 people maskless and eating their ice cream and my poor kid is just staring as hers melts while we walk looking for a space to distance and eat.

Duplicate post sorry.

This charger that is needed is it the same as for say, an iPhone 11? Because we have like six of those with us and I’ll gladly drop one off wherever

I'm not sure, I guess? That would be so nice, I could give you $$.....I did try Prime Now before asking here but nothing would come up when I searched.

Whoa, hold up. You have to sign up for a virtual queue to buy merchandise? Where? At all park stores?

Just for the May the 4th merchandise.

Just don’t walk past a line of people as you head to a ride (like you would with a FP!). If they are standing or slowly moving like cattle, those could be your ride companions. If you can’t see a CM with a sign on a stick nearby, ask the people in line. They are nicer there than if you try to waltz into the line at the front.

This, exactly! We had waited in line for 30+ minutes for FOP and were at the actual ride stand-by entrance when a young lady and her husband thought they were going to jump in line in front of us because they wanted to do Rider Swap and didn't realize that was not the end of the line. Luckily the CM kindly let them know that the end of the line was near FOTLK...

I get it. This, and line creepers, put *you* in an awful position of having to enforce (or remind a fellow guest) of the rules. I'm normally a 'live and let live' type but given the potential downside involved in transmission to others I don't think those are unreasonable restrictions - and everyone entering the park implicitly agreed to them.

To bring it back to the publicity issue, I think it cuts both ways. I could see Disney being kind of upset at being seen as lax on such issues. That said, the CDC and county guidance is changing towards outdoor mask wearing and physical distancing.

Sorry you had to be put in that position.

It’s not always easy to do the right thing and it’s soooo hard when people blatantly disregard the rules while you and your child comply. Kudos to you, though. I understand your frustration and I applaud your integrity.

Can we stick to talking about experience at the park and not just the masks.....It would be creepy...Gina Carano was on the right track!

Extremely creepy! Do you walk around taking pictures of people breaking other rules? Life will always be full of examples of right and wrong for you to teach your child, no need to waste your time and energy on others.

I don't think it's creepy. Social media is a powerful tool these days. I think they SHOULD show Disney the people on the buses who weren't wearing masks! I wish they tweeted it immediately, tbh.

I don’t think it’s possible to visit a park without being in the background of multiple live streams and vloggers throughout the day, so not sure how it’s creepy. It’s a public place. Disney aggressively notifies customers considering visits that they’re enforcing mask issues, likely putting those who are concerned at ease. It’s pretty bad if it turns out to be a bait and switch.

Showing up casually in the background of someone's shot is vastly different from that person making you the subject of their photo.

 

[lovethattink]

Please get back on topic of the thread!

 

[scrappinginontario]

Once again we're off on a tangent. Please stop the discussion of taking pictures of people who are not following Disney policies. We all know there are people who are not following the rules and that is for Disney to handle.

Please discuss what you experienced, not whether someone should take pictures and report. They may do what they want to do but what they/you choose to do is not up for discussion on this board.

All further comments will be deleted and warning points assigned as required.

Bus to AK at ASM arrived at 7:50....about five busses to MK arrived starting at 6:35. For people coming with strollers, if you get one of the coach-style (non Disney) busses you don’t have to fold your stroller! We got that style of bus as the first bus to AK today. They just put the whole thing in the giant cargo bay under the bus with all your gear still attached.....this is huge for some stroller people.

Please note also if you are on a scooter, you can’t take the charter buses and may end up waiting longer for a regular Disney bus.

There was a man and woman waiting with a scooter at AK one day and they had been waiting a long time. When the bus finally came it was a charter bus and they couldn’t get on it. I seriously thought the guy was going to throw down with the cast member when he broke the news to him.

I find it interesting that there are very different crowd level posts. I know the 35% shows up a lot, so I was wondering... does Disney calculate the 35% based on the open attractions rather than the entire park? And I get that one persons crowded (Epcot on New Years) is another persons (early February at MK)

I don't think anyone knows for sure how it's calculated.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I know that people have mentioned that weekdays tend to have lighter crowds as opposed to weekends. For those of you there now or back recently, do you find that to still be the case in general?

It does seem that way. I don't think Disney exactly lies with their reservation capacity, but it definitely seems that way.

I went to DHS and Epcot on a Sunday in April. I also went to DHS on a Wednesday a week and a half later. It sure felt a lot emptier on that Wednesday. Though I know that makes no sense because both parks were at capacity both days.
