News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Rapunzel has an answer for misbehaving guests

That would take an awful lot of frying pans

I’m a huge fan of the “cast iron method”

Most of them want to be safe

And they deserve that…they aren’t working there for the lavish pay, main gate they can’t use or the “privilege” of being laid off and dumped into the unemployment system last summer.

Still have some hope universal hasn’t announced anything yet right?

No…but little chance they don’t follow

I made sure my employees are safe by requiring vaccination.

Maybe Disney should do the same.

Excellent point

When we were there this past weekend I was actually very surprised at how many CMs were still wearing masks. It was definitely up from the 3 weeks we were there end of June/ early July

I noticed a good bit when I was there in early July. I think many of them aren't ready to ditch them yet.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Been vaccinated my mask days are over

Stay home for now then…

It’ll be interesting to see if they get rid of rope drop again (I hope so) and go back to what they were doing earlier in the year.

Are they still going to do fireworks?

Are they still going to do fireworks?

I’d be shocked if they don’t but who knows

Stinks for those excited for a mostly maskless vacation. Hope they all still have a great time regardless. Tip, bring a small towel so if you get sweaty, you can wipe off before masking up.

FWIW, at least fireworks are there this time. Glass half full.

Pretty sure outdoor stuff is safe for now.

I understand it’s within CDC guidelines but having everyone packed in front of the castle with no masks on watching fireworks isn’t the best optics.

Basically, this whole thing comes down to this:

Unvaccinated people refuse to wear masks, so vaccinated people have to wear masks.

There goes my trip to Disneyland in September, although I'm tempted to go somewhere fun very soon before the Delta variant mutates into something more deadly that renders the vaccine useless and puts us all back where we started in March 2020.

All because extremely ignorant people refuse to get vaccinated. It's all infuriating.

 

[Hawg G]

but you made a bad choice. There’s no reason to not get the vaccine if you recovered from it…

its not going to “cancel your immunity”. That’s kinda hokie…

You do realize the vaccine is far from being risk free, correct?

I don’t understand why at Epcot they even bother…especially once the new Zach East building opens up.

Your point?

The point is it doesn't matter if they are vaccinated or not. The CDC stated today that vaccinated people are spreading the virus, hence the mask recommendation.

Let's not get into this nonsense again.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Have Universal, SeaWorld, the OCCC and other major businesses also changed their policies?

Nothing from Uni or SeaWorld yet. Kennedy Space Center is already back to requiring masks.

 

[Chomama]

The two of you probably will not agree on what “low risk “looks like. Hundreds of millions of people are now vaccinated. The risks are low

 

[durangojim]

I always wonder why they make a delay between announcing and Implementing policy. It’s not like you have to figure out how to get a mask if it starts tomorrow. I bet the shopDisney folks are kicking themselves now for their mask sale!

Maybe Disney should do the same.

Many of the CMs have young children back at home who are unable to be vaccinated and they understand that although they may not get seriously ill themselves, they could pass COVID to their children.

How far?

 

[Trauma]

Right now of all times I am so sick of this anti vax nonsense.

Why are we banned for political talk or insulting others but not anti vax baloney?

I would rather have someone insult me all day long than continue to post this stuff.
