Right, so the rules were enforced but there’s no viral video of security dragging a kicking and screaming guest out of the park. That’s my point.

If someone takes the mask off, a CM just asks them to put it back on, reminds them of the “eating rule“ which was just clarified to be crystal clear or directs the person to the “relaxation stations” where they can remove the mask safely.

Yes I was agreeing with you. The only time I’ve seen guests be met with security (and not sure if they were asked to leave or not) was because of fighting. Not physical fighting but intense verbal fighting between families.

Everything else has been “hey this is park policy, please comply”.

(Not saying my limited experiences are absolute of course).

Me too. I saw an obviously drunk guy get stopped at the front gate at MK. He was carrying a red solo cup and stumbling badly. They didn’t cuff him or taser him or anything crazy but they did have to escort him away from the front gate area towards the bus stop area. Not sure if he went to a waiting police car or they just let him go.

I've been at AK, MK, and DHS this weekend and I've seen a lot of CMs reminding guests about masks. Most of the it was just a quick reminder to a young child but they do seem very impowered and willing to enforce.

For the record every guest who I saw asked quickly complied.
Were you able to ride the rise of the resistance? I've heard reports that it is difficult to get a boarding pass.

Well, on the personal side... My Dad, 73, who lives in FL, has 5 friends, including 2 sets of couples. 3 of the 4 from the couples have tested positive this week. My Dad hasn't seen the one couple since April, because they were the most "high risk." They tested positive first, but they see the second couple and my Dad sees the second couple twice a week at breakfast at their local restaurant. *shakes head.* He last saw them on Tuesday, and it was on Tuesday we found out the first couple's son had tested positive and so the rest of them were getting tested. So my Dad is now figuring out where to get tested tomorrow. Thankfully, the high risk couple has only been experiencing coughs, so hopefully they will recover without issue. But now I won't be able to continue to use his friends' potential risks as a reason why Dad has to be careful.

Now, I'm not sure what is better? For my Dad to test negative, but still be at risk? Or for him to test positive, and then I can send him down to Disney Springs for merchandise pickups after his quarantine? /joke

I'm going to have to show up to my parents house one day and bolt them indoors. They believe in covid and take precautions but my dad was "just perusing" through the Home Depot the other day and my mom keeps having "socially distant tea" with people who dont take precautions.

My Dad was trying to tell me breakfast was "safe," because D was sitting next to him, and T was sitting across from D. So no one was sitting across from him. Then my head exploded.

It certainly underscores that cruising isn’t happening anytime soon, and considering DCL and WDW are linked together, I’d say yes. It also supports the quarantines that other states are putting onto those who travel from Florida and other hot zones (Or the US, if international), which definitely affects WDW.
it also supports that uhh.... THE USA HAS A BIG PROBLEM

We already know cruising isn't happening until at least October, but this thread is about WDW.

Absolutely! Disney Cruise Line and WDW are linked in several ways: via cruise/land vacation packages and shore excursions to WDW when a ship docks in Canaveral from elsewhere.

Also, given that the highlight of all FL-based DCL cruises is a stop at Castaway Cay (in the Bahamas) that’s a huge problem.
Yes, but the CDC already issued a no sail order until October. It's not really relevant at this point in time. If there is still a ban when the CDC lifts the no sail order than I can see it being relevant. In my opinion, it will be longer than October before cruising resumes.

Bahamas closes borders to U.S. tourists after COVID-19 cases spike; others still welcome -

"Less than three weeks after reopening its borders to international visitors, the Bahamas on Sunday announced that it is closing all of its airports and seaports to tourists from the United States, effective Wednesday."

Does that have some effect on WDW?

We’ll allow it. 😉
As 80%+ of this thread has included topics that are a crazy stretch to be COVID and/or WDW related at all, this info gets extra credit for actually being about something that will affect WDW!
And double extra credit because it gives @The Mom a moderating break. 😂

I wish it affected WDW that would mean cruising had resumed. DCL sent out surveys asking if people would be willing to wear masks, give up shows, and no buffets, etc. I've been on 25 DCL cruises and as much as I love cruising I won't take a cruise with any of those things in place. In my opinion cruising is very a very social vacation for social people. I really don't see it resuming for a while.

Although I still think it's off-topic cruising is my favorite vacation so anyone that wants to discuss it..... I'm in. The cruise section here is pretty slow. I was supposed to be on a European cruise in 3 weeks. I used to visit cruise critic forums a lot. I haven't visited cruise critic in months it's just too depressing.
