News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[disneygeek90]

Not really. It doesn't come anywhere near my eyes. What kind of mask are/were you using?

Nowhere near the eyeline.

They definitely cut off some lower peripheral vision. Ever try walking down stairs with a mask on? Your view of the stair is harder to see. Check out how high it is on this person.

Like my eye doctor told me .. "If they only realized what gets in though the eyes" ...

That mask will cut some of his peripheral vision. I can see my own cheek and nose without a mask on...maybe I have better vision...

The impact made me really claustrophobic when I first started wearing masks last spring.

Why are they wearing it that high??

 

[Figgy1]

It could have. Visibility is reduced with a mask on—it is a downright dangerous way to drive. Stupid and dangerous.

I made 3 layer custom fit masks that don't impair visibility. Lots of trial and error to get them just right

?? Not everyone has a large face to make the mask look tiny on their head.

Then get the right size mask.

Excuse me? It’s a Disney mask. The Zach and The Team spent 7 years perfecting the design based upon a schematic drawn by Walt on a handkerchief The Zach found in The Archive.

This is kind of weird that this thread has devolved into a discussion on if you should wear a mask while driving.

So does this basically say if an adult is vaccinated they can take off their mask but their 3 year old is still required to wear one? Just trying to clarify.

Anyone who is unvaccinated is expected to wear a mask but proof is not required.

Right but vaccines are not approved for 2-11 year olds so therefore proof is impossible no? So in theory, Disney knows all 2-11 year olds aren’t vaccinated and could demand they mask up. No?

As I’ve said elsewhere, my kids were in the phase 1 Pfizer trial. They are 8 and vaccinated. So Disney doesn’t know that all kids are unvaccinated and won’t be chasing 3-year olds. Most kids are unvaccinated, but Disney can’t know which and isn’t asking for proof. It’s on the parents.

Goofy is in charge of chasing down all 4 year olds and demanding they mask up

In theory but I believe they stated that they will be leaving it up to you to do the right thing.

It will be telling if we see lots of kids under 12 not wearing a mask, as that will be an indicator of whether or not the honour system works.

I can answer that right now. It doesn't work.

This is what I was getting at. Disney’s official policy says 99% of kids should be wearing a mask. I couldn’t imagine they would want the PR of forcing kids to wear a mask while not forcing adults to as they’d be rightfully destroyed by various media outlets like Fox News. But their official policy says it’s required so I was just wondering if people thought they would enforce it.

They’re not wearing them at Universal. Disney was aware of this before announcing the new policy and announced it anyway. Effectively, they are saying they will not enforce a mask policy and that if you are unvaccinated, unmasked, and catch Covid, good luck.

If they are in a clinical trial, they have not been vaccinated. The results of the trial are not yet in and therefore you don’t know if the vaccine worked on your kids or if the dosage wasn’t right. Therefore, Disney says they need to mask up. Again, not arguing here just curious is Disney is setting up a policy they don’t intend to actually follow or if they are going to have a militant masking policy like they have so far. I have a friend going in 2 weeks and they ask me for all things Disney and I don’t want to tell them the wrong thing.
