News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[mickeyfan202]

More dramatic ramp up June into the 4th of July.

Now I am nervous as we are going June 13-21.

We did AK today. The one interesting thing was Maharajah Jungle Trek, despite being an attraction, was masks optional. Otherwise, lots of people still with masks, CMs reminding people to pull them up when entering the queue, but most people were putting them on correctly themselves. Like our Universal day, there really wasn't 6 or 3 ft, but just a respectful amount of space between parties. But it was very nice to walk the loop and the bridge to Pandora from Africa sans masks.

I’ve always thought if you did away with FP lines would never be too bad.

I know a lot here are anti FP. I was there for 11 days, came back last Sunday, and I did about half of what I typically do during a similar stay.
sure, standby moves. But slow, and with more people. After this trip, I can firmly state that I’d rather have 3 guaranteed walk ons and a few bonus stand bys!

Except not all vulnerable populations have *access* to the vaccine yet. It isn’t a choice for everyone of all ages right now.

Then those people can mask.
They can wear the masks that actually work, N95's.

You're asking for personal responsibility or for adults to be parents? Get out of here with that nonsense.

I just left. It was too much, COVID or not. That was the busiest I can remember.

Dentist is a Disney guy. Was there spring break. Told me to STAY AWAY till FP was back. Whats the take now? Gonna get better or worse without FP and the new dynamics?

Then maybe you didn't explain it well, because if you're talking about seeing faces, they're seeing faces all the time at home.

They can see different faces later.

How many kids do you have?

I remember a newscaster who said it was crazy to even be near a beach, or live near one and have your windows open.
This person said that the wave action would atomize the virus and send it adrift through your windows.
I kid you not.

I seem to remember parents using bleach or lysol to clean groceries. Even fruit.
Then kids were basically starting to come down with strange rashes. I'm sure that had nooothing to do with kids eating lysol soaked apples every day.
Said it looked like Kawasaki Syndrome... an illness linked to cleaner products. Hmmmm

Have they redone the security checkpoints at all since there is no temp check or are tons of spaces still taken up with long snaking lines?

Long queue but no temp checks. In and out of security with no wait. Continuously moving. Those machines are so efficient (which is why the TSA will never use them).

It wasn’t Spring Break, Touring Plans had the parks as 2-4s. Still stand bys really bogged us down.

Perfect. Who else is ready for British Revolution (I know they are fired forever). At least now people can breath on me again

What form it shall take is unknown. But signs point to: Not being revived to pre-pandemic form. For quite a while. The dissembling of FP+ due to the current situation may accelerate plans / force their hand. The Fastpass back system was butchered to create the park pass system. Obviously a...

FP was not perfect, but it’s better than now. I’m sure there was a good ol’ fashion brainstorm at wed to figure it out.

Excuse my ignorance. But what is Maxpass? Sounds like a laxative

There have been many studies that show the vaccine is more effective even if you've had it https://www.contagionlive.com/view/...accines-is-more-robust-than-natural-infection Just one a few easily found. And again, not only does the CDC and most doctors recommend it, there is ZERO evidence it is harmful to anyone who has had the disease

Many studies? So far I can only find the one study mentioned in the Contagion Live article that is getting linked here a few times.
