News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[Amused to Death]

When are you ever closer than three feet to another person, even in a line?

Whenever any Brazilians are in town.

Whenever any Brazilians are in town.

Are they even allowed to travel into the US at this time?

Now some will call you part of the doom and gloom club but you layed out exactly what the problems will be for hundreds of thousands small businesses.

They can call me what they want, I’m part of the smart and thoughtful people who won’t end up having to feel responsible for killing an employee.

We revised our signage today, but masks still required.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Talking to a speech pathologist the other day... its a real concern when it comes to children who were under 1 when this started. Identifying facial queues and overall facial expressions is such an important element when it comes to children identifying with people around them. It's going to be a real challenge for many as this wears off when we learn that some children are much further behind from where they should be.

If they were under 1 year old when this started, then they’ve likely been home with their family, unmasked, this whole time, so it shouldn’t have much effect.

Face it, I think the CDC realized that a certain group of the population will never agree to be vaccinated and that we can’t wait forever for something that’s never going to happen. It’s time to move on with our lives and if certain people want to take the risk of dying from Covid that’s on them. No sympathy from me if you choose to refuse the vaccine.

 

[DisAl]

Can't understand why someone who has the vaccine cares whether or not other people are wearing a mask.

I care because my grandchildren (11 and 6) are too young to be vaccinated.

 

[rnese]

Maybe because they care about people other than themselves? I dunno, just a thought.

No. That's not why. And you know I'm right.

That’s pretty much what it’s come down to. The number of people who’ve gotten vaccinated over the last month or so has dropped, despite availability. Unfortunately, this has become politicized and there are those who just won’t get it. We can‘t sit around for the next 3 years hoping they change their minds. This is a last ditch effort to throw some incentive out there. And if they don’t, oh well and all restrictions will drop. Sooner than most people believe.

What I know is that you couldn’t be more wrong. But hey, you keep doing you! LMAO!

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Why’s it matter? It’s his decision.

It’s a bigger deal when the unvaccinated don’t.

Unlike the people who support triple masking alone in their cars, I’m not forcing my views on others. I’m just curious as to why.

 

[DisneyNeighbor]

From what I have already seen on a live YouTube Vlog this morning people are not wearing masks in the outdoor queues and cast members don't care. It's over! All the Karens need to get over it alr

There should have never been a mask mandate outside anywhere!

 

[Joesixtoe]

I am feeling somewhat emotional seeing people without a mask on here outside at studios.. cause outside it doesn't make sense to wear one. Vaccinated or not, very happy people are able to breath fresh air.

Your line of questioning was judgmental, not inquisitive.

I can feel a certain energy in this thread of some who are not so quietly hoping that WDW guests ignore the "masks indoor" policy so that their wish of never having to wear a mask again is fulfilled. I hope they are disappointed.

What an odd way to say that you're upset your loosing your perceived bravery of logging in and criticizing those who think differently.

Not true at all. There's a thing called interaction that they have with peolle outside their homes which helps with their social development. No offense but I'll take the word of a trained pathologist who is currently dealing with the fallout.

 

[buckeyegator]

some are going to oppose mask dropping because even if they say they want to return to normal, they really do not, will always say things were done to fast, we need baby steps, etc.

 

[ParentsOf4]

It appears Cast Members are not requesting that you to put on masks until you get into the traditional start of an attraction’s queue. Generally Not enforcing masks for lines that extend beyond that.

Tower of Terror was seating all rows.
