News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[Vette184]

NYC is not going to fully reopen on July 1 and you know it.

40+ broadway theaters are closed with no reopening announcements so far although the West End Shows are starting to announce reopennings so we shall see.

I guess we’ll see as we get closer regarding which specific theaters don’t want to open - but it looks like the writing is on the wall either way. More people are being vaccinated and policies are loosening in time for summer + beyond, which is a good thing.

Broadway Leauge is saying hopefully September.

Well... currently Disney doesn’t want more people so that’s not an issue until they do.

They are working hard to increase park capacity imminently. So, they do.

does that include opening more restaurants?

 

[buckeyegator]

Sorry if this has been discussed but do you think Disney will change 6 feet markers after the Orange county mayor released that new guidance? I can imagine that being a pain in the butt to move all of those.

just get huge rolls of tape and mark in between each 6 foot marker.

 

[ToTBellHop]

does that include opening more restaurants?

It will. But first, more capacity at the ones that are open.

Expect masks until 2022 according to Chapek.

Expect masks until 2022 according to Chapek.

If true, my guess is it's a "let's keep people feeling at ease and minimize confrontations" situation.

 

[buckeyegator]

i think most people would be ok if no mask outside, but masks on inside, as all inside quees are air-conditioned, outside in florida in july-august is brutal.

A) he was basically saying they’d be gone in 2022
B) it was at a shareholder meeting where ”2022” would be understood as “fiscal year 22”, which begins 10/1/21.

ive had covid and im fully vaxxed but i think this is fair and based on science
the CDC is slower to act which i think is a good thing

C) And he also pondered if vaccines would change that timeline.

There are a number of outdoor queues and hopefully people social distance because FL weather in the summer is intensely hot.

The CDC Is Still Repeating Its Mistakes

The agency’s new guidelines are too timid and too complicated.

A different perspective.

3ft reduction is imminent. Maskless outdoors by June

Good job Orange County. This is a progressive move in the right direction for sure. Makes a potential 2021 WDW trip more likely if we can ever open the U.S./Canada border.

We shall see, I am betting on 2022. Entertainment is slowly returning, masks are going to be here for the foreseeable future. Social distancing will be less, before masks are gone.

I swear, the anxiety I have for getting back on a train right now (much less July) is hopefully something I can get dechakra'd over the summer. You know, to be ready by September.
