News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[mkt]

But honestly most of the time they gently request or honestly don't give a flip.

That's been my experience, not the bus driver though.

Parks are busier feeling than normal for this time of year for me.

There's a year of pent-up demand from a moment in history where Disney had almost no slow season, leading into parks with allegedly limited capacity. They're going to be busy. At least I'd rather have well behaved crowds.

I heard a lot of languages spoke and not judging but guessing international travel is back .

Travel to/from large parts of Latin America and the Caribbean never ended, not to mention that there's a majority Spanish-speaking metropolitan area 4 hours away from Disney by car, and Puerto Rico-Florida flights have been at over 80% loads throughout the entire pandemic.

Don’t bother with that one. Anyone who thinks Disney is doing well is beyond reason.

They're not doing well.

But anyone who thinks a mask mandate is the reason that Disney's not doing well never read the financials. The parks are profitable - what isn't right now is Disney+.

I know Spanish and the more immediate area since we have family and are Spanish speakers. It wasn't just the Caribbean and Latin Americans speaking. I was just there this week and heard many more languages. Though PR flights may have been mostly full my family there didn't start traveling until more recently. Though PR is not international anyway. Apparently enough are on flights to be there.

Again I was just there and my skin is unhappy. Not just maskne either. I don't mind but the traveling did a number on my skin this time. It hasn't before though. Likely the drastic changes in climate but I'd love to not worry my next trip.

As a whole people are going, masks or not.

Really hoping the mask mandate is dropped in time for our trip in December!

My guess is sometime around February or March.

Why was my post removed? Mods are biased I guess.

Please stop with the mask arguing. We are all way over it.

I've been at the parks several times in the past month.


I only heard a single CM politely remind a guest on a single occasion to mask up.

Try staying around the entrance to the Land Pavilion for about 5 minutes - they had plenty of reminders there.

I’ll be there the weekend after Thanksgiving to check it out for myself.

I noticed that too. None rude. Just lots of reminders. I'd say only the 1 bus driver who really was blind as a bat was noticeable. The guy's nose was totally covered. His nose was just shaped different which made her think it wasn't if that makes sense.

I will say one night it was so cold that I wanted it on as did my friend

I just know after my last visit, I'm going to wait until they drop the requirements again because it's extremely annoying and pointless. You could tell a vast majority of the guests were over it too. (Quit editing my posts you're not heroes and I'm going to keep calling it out)

Was at loading on Remy yesterday and they pulled a family off the ride vehicle because the father wasnt wearing an approved mask. Not sure how he made it to that point but they held up the three ride vehicles leaving the load area for it until a supervisor cane and told him he had to leave.

I'm glad that CMs are taking it seriously when guests aren't.

Sounds very - -french?

Now, can we get back to the comments about when or if Disney plans to lift the mask mandate for indoors? Or is everyone going to continue to try to be witty and win some sort of argument that doesn't need to be waged?

Florida cases are plateauing and showing a slight uptick from last week. Remains to be seen if this is just a blip or the start of another wave, but the timeline would fit the latter.

At MK today and mask wearing is much lower then normal and CMs don't seem to be enforcing it at all. Big change in both guest and cm behaviour over the previous week of being here

This is probably the way this ends. Enough people stop complying and Disney can do nothing about it.

 

[Hakunamatata]

At MK today as well. Will test it out.
