Won't stop us from having fun, that's for sure! Staying safe is more important.
To answer your question, no, they haven't. Everyone who is claiming that they will be perfectly fine in 90+ with humidity walking an average of 12 miles on a hot day at DW is flat out kidding themselves. It's just not happening. Will they try? Sure. But they will QUICKLY find out just how miserable of an experience it is. People deferring to Shanghai are hilarious. These citizens are far less obese than this country, coupled with the fact that they have been living like this for nearly 2 decades. I can't laugh any harder at those who actually believe they and their families will have a day of bliss under these conditions. Kids complain enough about how hot it is without masks let alone with them.Just curious - For those who are voting yes, have you worn a mask for an extended period of time while working or in the heat? I'm only asking because I have recently had to start wearing a mask at work and I pour sweat while working in the a/c. I also find it hard to breathe and it fogs up my glasses. While I will continue to wear it at work (because it's the law or whatever), I will not go to Disney in the 100 degree summers with 90% humidity and wear one there.
That’s our story exactly. We go in summer because of school and masks covering nose and mouth in that heat/humidity is not doable for us. Haven’t yet canceled either but will as soon as it’s confirmed. We usually split our trips between wdw and our place on the beach on gulf coast so instead we’ll just stay at beach. Thinking that will be better than a lesser experience at wdw.
Or more ! LolFrom this poll, it appears Disney won’t have to fret much about limiting crowds in the initial reopening phases. Just the requirement of a mask may likely cut attendance by about half.
All the excuses.. they just keep on a coming , like people havnt been wearing masks in Disneyland Shanghai before this, and have managed perfectly fine on the rides.
Yes! It also makes me wonder how they disinfect the heads of those costumes? I mean, all this talk of viral load just from speaking or breathing heavily- it would just sit on the inside of the head part of the costume. EWWWW!Gives new perspective on the CMs who dance around in character costumes every day in the Florida heat. My DD did this for 10 years at Universal. TRULY a thankless job.
Not sure who you’re referring to, but everyone on this thread has been pretty straightforward that if masks were required we wouldn‘t go. Obviously Disney can set whatever policy they choose, no one is arguing that.I posted this on the other thread that closed: Disney can do/require whatever they please. They are a private business. People on this thread are talking as if Disney is setting policy for the entire United States. I think it’s smart given the current climate to require masks/face coverings of all guests. If you can’t comply with that requirement then don’t go. It’s pretty simple.
It actually is a simple choice, isn't it? A CHOICE. If you don't feel you can or will or want to wear a mask, then don't go yet. The day will return eventually, in a future 'phase' of reopening, when masks will no longer be needed for health reasons.I posted this on the other thread that closed: Disney can do/require whatever they please.

But will they also require it at the resorts? In some ways, people are likely to be in closer proximity and more in need of masks at the hotels than the parks even.
Agreed. I know many people have been scoffing at it, but I still think the Shanghai Disneyland opening is getting a ton of attention from Disney execs. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but there certainly are lessons WDW and DL will take from Shanghai's theme park experiences. Some of the photos from Shanghai Disneyland have been a bit strange looking - just a handful of people on Tron, and lines spread way out for attractions - and that's at an estimated 10%-15% at this time. Could definitely see limited numbers like that to start with coming to the US parks.I don't know the details of how it all works, but I would think this would be easier. Hotels are considered necessary businesses and (many) have been operating this entire time. At least there are established examples in place to reference. Theme parks? I can't even imaging trying to figure out the best thing to open those.
This is the part that confuses me the most. Phase 2 in Florida calls for theme parks to be re-opened in limited capacity with extreme social distancing. The governor said that each phase will probably run its' course for 3 weeks prior to moving on to the next one, barring we don't see a sudden spike in contracted cases of COVID. With that being said, phase 3 calls for "regular operations" with very limited social distancing. Therefore, under this guideline from the state, the park in August shouldn't have to enforce all of these regulations. If that's the case, and the rest of the state won't be enforcing these standards, why would Disney stand alone and continue to defer to standards like masks, etc? I'm genuinely just confused by it. Doesn't add up.I voted "won't go", but that's only a little bit about the mask itself, and more about what the need for a mask likely represents in terms of where we're at with the virus and what other restrictions or limitations are likely to be in place. We only go to Disney every 3-5 years or so, and I'd rather wait longer in order to have a fuller experience.
