Masks While Not In Use In Parks

[Renarr]

Hey, all,

The missus and I are planning a Disney trip, and we're aware of the current guidelines for when we do need to be masked and when we don't while in the parks.

What we're wondering is: what's everybody doing with their mask if they choose to take it off when they're outside? Right now, the missus has been storing hers in a Ziploc in her purse when we're at home, but that sounds tedious when going in and out of places with any kind of frequency.

Please keep in mind that this thread isn't a debate about what masking policy should be or shouldn't be.

I bought a pack of mask lanyards from Amazon and use those to keep my mask handy when not in use. Also, it's not really recommended to put a used mask in a plastic bag. Better to use a paper bag

Pants pocket.

Have you ever met a pair of women's pants? I'm lucky if they have pockets to start with, but if they do I can barely fit a set of keys! I've lost so many masks because they're only 1/3 of the way in my pocket because thats all that fits


Mask lanyards are what we use

 

[Pens Fan]

Definitely mask lanyards. They just make it so much easier. I also find that I am better about remembering to put my mask on when it's required as it's right there hanging around my neck.

Another vote for lanyards.

I have had a lanyard from the beginning. Works great. So convenient when taking on and off every few minutes.

We had dinner at Paddlefish - our first trip back when Disney opened - and they were the only restaurant that supplied us with a small paper bag/pocket specifically to put your mask in. I thought it was a nice touch. Never saw that again anywhere else rest of trip and subsequent two trips after that.

Perhaps make some sort of pouch for it or find a lanyard (but I don't like to have the mask hanging on my chest while eating).

Another mask lanyard user here

Bought these masks from Copper Fit, they have a built in lanyard, and adjustable ear loops.

Used lanyards best choice we ever made

My DH turns his lanyard to the back when eating. It makes me laugh because I think of someone throwing their tie over their shoulder before dining. If I'm eating something messy, I just tuck the mask on the lanyard in my shirt.

 

[Jennasis]

Mask lanyard for the win!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Order mask lanyards. the ones I have can also be used to hold sunglasses, they come with clips that can be used to hold a mask. Cover the mask with a napkin or toss it to the back while eating.

I put them in my pants pocket (yes I'm female--I have no issues with my pockets not being big enough). I saw a lot of masks around people's wrists.

(it's probably not recommended, but...)

 

[DizKids2]

I just put them in my pocket, but have lost a couple doing this too and have extras in my backpack.

If we are going from ride to ride I just put it around my wrist.

This thread makes me think I should look into a lanyard though…

 

[RamblingRabbit]

I wear them on my wrist essentially as a bracelet.

 

[ellbell]

I had a lanyard but now I just put it on my wrist

 

[lukemorenus]

I just carry it

 

[sbbobe]

My wife and I both use mask lanyard.

 

[Aimeedyan]

I put them in my pocket (female here - never had an issue), put it in the pouch on the stroller, or in the side of the backpack we always have with us. If we're going in and out of places, I put it in my wrist.
