Disney policy to wear a mask while riding the Skyliner, regardless of vaccination or immunity status.

Maybe because they were following rules at Disneyworld?

 

[Ayla]

Depends on how many in a party. We had five people including kids and we all just about got on in time as the gondola was moving.

They don't stop, unless a CM hits the e stop.

They were from Florida and were wearing masks because they were supposed to.

At Blizzard Beach today. The “masks required” signs outside the bathrooms were changed to please wear a mask for your safety. There are disposable masks outside the bathrooms. I didn’t see anyone wearing them inside but someone must have been because they were gone by mid day and not replenished.

Well I hope everyone survives.

If it’s worth anything I had many similar experiences in the Disney washrooms and I’m still here to tell the tale.

Are they still required on Peoplemover or have we gone to Jungle Cruise type rules?

I love places that give me the option, because given the option - I'm never putting a mask on my face again.

Still required as of September when I was there.

Ok. I just saw Jungle Cruise videos where guests were not while on board, so I was not sure how that worked.

Yeah. No masks on jungle cruise.

I believe the rule is that if an attraction is even partially indoors, like the Peoplemover, masks are required.

Jungle Cruise has an indoor scene too, but I guess it's short enough they don't care (or because the California version doesn't, management forgot).

They were required on Peoplemover Thursday. Not for JC.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Yeah that makes perfect sense. Just cram a bunch of strangers together on a boat with no masks, but make everyone wear them on the Peoplemover even though you're a good distance away from the next party. Mind boggling.

The CDC says indoor/outdoor is the threshold. Take it up with Walenski if you don't like it, not Disney.

The CDC says indoor/outdoor is the threshold. Take it up with Walenski if you don't like it, not Disney.

Since the CDC guidance is non-mandatory, what counts as "indoors" in this context is entirely a Disney decision. Overall I think they've done a pretty good job with signage, though there are a few grey areas like this example. Another is why you'd need to wear a mask on board the Skyliner with only your own party. With the circulation you're essentially outside, and it's way too hot in those things most of the time to wear a mask comfortably.

Interestingly, a couple of weeks ago we had a CM tell us that the standard for indoor vs. outdoor was the presence of air conditioning. She specifically said, "if you can feel a/c, then you should put your mask on." (Needless to say, that is not actually the standard.)

Or people took masks for their supply since they were sitting there and free.

Been here since last Wednesday. It's been very hot and humid.

That said, we've not seen any people causing problems with masks. And honestly, we haven't found it to be bothersome, although mine got soaked on Splash. Brightside, saved me from a mouth full of water!

Empty Small World boat!

We are there next week, and I can't wait!!!

Glad to hear people are following the rules and not causing problems for CMs and guests.

How are the crowd levels?

I feel like it's pretty crowded, but manageable.

Genie + has made rides a breeze for us. No lines. Paid for Rat, Railway and Rise. Scheduled for evening rides, totally worth it...

We just called down for more coffee, they just brought us this!
