    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    It's a racist ride. That cute, endearing, catchy song "Zip a dee doo dah" is based off of racist black faced minstrel shows from the 1830's. Imagine people defending a ride based off of a movie that showed blacks as lazy and dumb. Imagine being black and riding a ride that glorifies it. Look up...

    Disney Springs Mask Enforcement

    You definitely get more used to it over time. The first time I wore one my lungs were burning and I ended up having to stop after 30 min. A couple of days ago I went out and real feel was 97, I managed 4 hours comfortably. I had to really work on my breathing because I breathe very shallowly...

    That makes sense. Thank you for going in depth. I do think and know there's a lot of fear mongering in general. The spread seems to come more from touching your face after exposure via things like door handles rather than inhaling droplets (as you'd need to be very close). Masks help prevent...

    They wouldn't know either. You can be contagious before showing any symptoms, pretty common with viruses in general. That's why people should wear the masks and what the CDC, WHO have been telling people for months. 🙄

    There's valuable data littered throughout this thread that people have disregarded. There's no argument anyway. Local government and the theme parks have made it mandatory. People either wear them or they don't go until requirements are lifted. 🤷‍♀️

    Disney Springs Mask Enforcement

    Why? Because I live here. When people come to Disney or Universal and simply don't care they end up exposing employees and cast members. Those employees are people that are my neighbors and parents of my kids' friends. Saying that people have already made up their mind and it's a waste of time...

    Wearing a 6in by 3in mask isn't interfering with your ability to get sun. Paying taxes doesn't entitle you to be able to expose a bunch of people to a potentially deadly virus. Get over yourself. You're not special because you work and pay taxes. Millions of other Americans do too and aren't...

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    G00fydad: Thank you for not allowing people through. Honestly. Rarely have I ever seen instances where someone GETS OUT of line then comes back in. Nine times out of ten, maybe more, it's a group of people who were eating, shopping, wandering while one or two people held a spot in line for them...

    Beauty and the Beast Live possible replacement?

    If it's closed the temporary replacement will probably be a mask off rest area tbh. At universal they have similar arrangements for their maskless rest areas. Really easy to keep people spread apart. Image is from the Sinbad amphitheater. Attached image from when I was there last week.

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    I'm not sure if this is the thing to invest energy into arguing about. This all assumes we'll be privileged enough to go back to the days where we even have the ability to jump out of line. At this point I would just be happy having the parks back.

    What is your timeline for Disney being back to normal again?

    Realistically I would say 2-3 years to go back to how it was. Once a vaccine is out and widely distributed people will begin to ease into normalcy again, and I would put vaccine at around a year (maybe a bit less) from now. How quickly they can produce the vaccine will determine a lot too. I'm...

    Oof I will be more careful in the future then, thanks. :)

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    Personally, my biggest pet peeve is being shoved from behind. There's a lot of disrespect from those trying to get through. If they ask nicely I feel a lot better about it but when they storm through with complete disregard for others it makes me want to step in front of them. Unfortunately the...

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    ^On that note.. if you're going to use a diaper, please don't drop a deuce in it while standing in front of me. I will gladly hold your spot in line to avoid vomiting all over everyone in my immediate vicinity. My hatred of line skipping runs deep but not that deep.

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    As I said, they have to wait and be close to the actual ride to get it. There's nothing to take advantage of. If they got it near the ride entrance (not queue entrance), they would spend more time getting out of line and going back through the fast pass line to get on vs just waiting a few min...

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    The amount of people on this forum who will actively be at the parks is such a small number that I doubt it would make a significant impact. People still have to wait in line and be reasonably close to getting on the ride for CM's to give it to them. And it has to be the entire party. They're...

    Spot holding on park rides - during and post COVID

    🙌🙌🙌🙌 For those who don't know - depending on your position in line (and depending on the ride) you can ask a CM if you can receive paper fast passes in an emergency. I've had to do this on frozen ever after and toy story mania due to kids having bathroom emergencies. They're usually very nice...

    Many people have underlying conditions or things that make it more difficult to wear a mask. I'm autistic with SPD, asthma, and have severe lung damage that occurred when I was a child due to chemical burns. My youngest has asthma and SPD. My oldest is just a normal spazz and ironically he has...

    Masks don't exclude kids. My kids are fine with the masks on, they're 6 and 8. Plenty of kids properly wearing masks at universal enjoying themselves too. Covid isn't a joke. My mother died from it - her blood thickened and she had multiple strokes, horrible neurological damage. All caused by...
