News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[Chomama]

We're just taking the long route to Disney and every other corporation and private and public entity realizing that its more economical and efficient to require that guests and employees be vaccinated. Google, Netflix, and the federal government got their this week. Disneyland will probably get their pretty soon. For various reasons, its going to take longer for WDW. It would be nice if we could have gotten to that inevitable end point more quickly, but it was always going to have to work this way.

If this all interferes with HHN, though, I'm going to be very, very... unhappy.

I just read Facebook has joined the party too

Probably just making masks mandatory and some distancing in the houses and their queues.

Can't see Universal cancelling their most profitable event for a 2nd year in a row, and only 5 weeks out from the first night.

Great! Now take Vitamin d and c especially in the winter and don't worry. But I think you get my point.

I already take those. None of this is enough.

Honest to God, I don't know how many times I have to tell the story of my colleague Nick Cordero, who was a 41 year old Broadway actor, in excellent shape with not one single underlying condition, who ate healthy and took such supplements as you suggest. He battled the disease for 95 days, was on a ventilator, and eventually had to have a leg amputated before finally passing away in July of last year.

The narrative that only the fat and unhealthy get it and die is absolutely untrue, and this lie needs to stop being pushed around.

Nick Cordero, Broadway actor who battled COVID-19, has died at age 41, wife says

Cordero's leg was amputated after he was sedated in the ICU for 18 days.

Don't expect any types of APs this year that being said.

Are you speculating or do you have knowledge on that? I’d be gutted if they didn’t sell the frequent pass this year.

 

[Casper Gutman]

So... does Disneyland institute a vaccine requirement by the end of the year? I'd suspect they do.

I would guess yes. The tide seems to be moving that way and obviously California will have more of an appetite for it. Honestly I’m hoping we get something from the airlines

So this is just an indoor mask mandate, no chance of them putting up plexiglass again for this?

We will find out soon…

I'd expect the plexi to return.

 

[MKFanatic]

They’d obviously put up the plexiglass when the parks are closed? We leave in 2 days I’d hate to see certain rides down for the week.

 

[marni1971]

Well that made the thread grow quite a bit more.

The finger of blame lies squarely with a certain section of society. We all have the ability of speeding up a return to a more normal reality.

 

[GhostHost1000]

I'd expect the plexi to return.

I wouldn’t. That was probably the most ridiculous safety theater of all. Then again it’s Disney so anything is possible

There will likely be many reservations being cancelled today

I seriously thought about cancelling our trip today for next week when this was announced. I doubt I will cancel, but I have to figure out how to get excited again. I hate the masks, but have to focus on other aspects to not have my disdain for them rub off on my kids and wife then ruin the trip for them. Yeah I know it may sound petty, but that’s how I feel.

 

[marni1971]

I lay blame solely on the US allowing people to enter the country without testing

I don’t. Thats only a smaller part of the problem.

I’m out of this thread again now. I’ll watch how the crazies play it from afar.

I’m in the exact same boat. I’d cancel today but it would crush my 5 year old daughters heart. So my family and I are going to make the best of it.

I know it’s easy to blame all the unvaccinated folks which is fine but If the delta variant never made it in the US across the border we wouldn’t be having this problem right now. That would have been an easy and smart thing to prevent during a global pandemic but again politics > public health and covid transmission in this country which continues to be swept under the rug.

I know how you feel. My youngest daughter was so disappointed with the thought of missing the Boo Bash on opening night. I have never had to “make the best” of it on a vacation, but that’s what we will do also.

You think stricter border controls would have stopped it ?
How's that working out for Australia . You will never stop people from entering legally and carrying the disease with them.
Pushing the blame onto others is part of the reason you are back to these measures.
