That makes sense, or it may be time to treat it like every other ride

We may not have been far off that when they closed. I’m all for doing away with boarding passes in general, but who knows what they’ll do now to prevent long lines. I think standby is definitely not happening.

I'm curious how the ROTR boarding pass system will work going forward. Being in the group racing to get in the gates at 6am with 5,000 people isnt gonna work now. Anyone have any ideas on that?

Some sort of advanced registration system will be the only way to prevent that...

Finally! Real news on something at least.

Outside of Soarin' and a trip to Starbucks and/or MouseGears and ocassinally SE - we'd never leave WS. Helps when you stay at EPCOT resorts. I don't think I've been anywhere close to the front entrance in years.

Here we go! Let the speculation continue!

With this news, I dont see the parks opening on June 1st.

OMG OMG OMG REAL NEWS!!!

"the use of appropriate face coverings by both cast members and guests,"

This caught my eye.

Why? If anything I thought it makes it more likely...

Ditto. Should be interesting to see how that is enacted and if it changes if FL/Orange County moves Phases...

Finally! Excited to see some actual news. Hopefully we hear about the parks in the next few weeks!

I don’t see the connection that would lead to that conclusion. If it was June 1 for DS, yes.

They didn't specify if it was "required" though. Always ambiguous Disney!!!

I bet dvc and some other resorts will be up next before the parks.

I dont see DS being open with that many restrictions in place only to have the parks open 10 days later

Yep, that's what I noticed.

I mean, that sounds like it's required. And consistent with Shanghai requirements.

I think it might be at the very beginning... It would be easiest to start out with that in DS and being less than 2 weeks away from today local regulations recommending it might still be in place... I would be fine wearing a mask in DS. You’re spending most of the time inside restaurants or stores with AC.
