News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[marymarypoppins]

Uber still requires masks…. As does Lyft.

I Ubered several times last trip and was not asked to wear one . Driver didn’t wear them either. My college student Ubers constantly and neither riders or drivers are wearing mask. It may be a requirement by the company but in our region it’s not being followed .

“Once infected, vaccinated people seem to transmit COVID similarly to unvaccinated people” - In a November press conference, Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, said that the vaccines were 60 percent protectiveagainst spreading the virus prior to the arrival of the delta variant. That number has dropped to 40 percent post-Delta.- source Scienctifict American

So you may not be as right as you think you are!

The key phrase in that article is "prior to the Delta Variant". This information is specifically in reference to the Delta Variant, which did not exist when the vaccines were being formulated. It doesn't speak for all variants and should not be referenced to suggest the vaccine does nothing to slow the spread. The article states quantifiably that it does, just not so much with Delta, which makes sense since they weren't designed to defend against it because it didn't exist yet.

Once on the monorail there no stopping people from taking off their masks. With buses and boats the driver/captain is in the passenger cabin and can call those out who drop the mask after boarding.

Universal does not require it on transportation

..:I don’t think Disney has to. Pretty sure non-public transportation doesn’t fall under that mandate.

but it makes sense not to fight it since the mandate will 99.9% will be dropped in March

Straight from Universal's website.

Are face coverings required on resort transportation?
We encourage guests who are not fully vaccinated to wear face coverings on resort transportation. Face coverings are optional for guests who are fully vaccinated.

I believe the lesser rule is a result of the dramatically smaller size of the fleet. WDW has transportation systems the scale of many small to medium cities which makes them subject to TSA and NTSB guidelines.

I’d have reported them and proudly signed my name, Karen with the GOOD hair.

I am pretty sure no one wears them on the Skyliner except to pull them up when pulling into the station.

Honestly I didn’t care if they didn’t care. Certainly not enough to get someone fired over it.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day at the parks for sure.

Let's see if they enforce it or not tomorrow

This has been my experience.

Yeehaaaw!

Of course they won’t. It’s a land of the free for all. Time to go to town, boys! School’s out!

If we were with other people, we wore them the entire time. If it was just us, we took them down and pulled them up when pulling into the station.

Hopefully the TSA doesn’t feel the need to extend the current guidelines past March. I know there will be a great cheer across the land when masks are no longer required on airplanes

As my daughter is turning 2 right as the time we fly...I agree.

Lyft drivers will ask you to wear them based on my experience. My uncle drives for Uber and has denied passengers rides because of refusal to wear masks, though it's few and far between here in Maryland because most of us just wear them without complaining.

Can’t wait to inhale those cheers. It’ll bring tears to my eyes. God bless us every one.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Hahahahahaha! Looks like gramma and the gang gonna be hightailing it down to Orlando after waitin for them masks to be lifted. Oh, and Staten Island. Can’t wait for the wait times to explode even further.

We’ll see.

Lol…Staten Island.

i always thought spirit should have opened a private airport that flies only to Orlando in asbury park to service only Staten Island and Tom’s River Nj

 

[SingleRider]

For once I was right on my prediction.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I expect there will be a lot of people who ‘miss’ that continued masking requirement on transportion and will not even bring one to the parks when they go triggering a new round of battles for CM’s to push compliance on transportation.

Adherence to the mask policy on the monorail was hardly 100% as it was. When I was there in December there was an entire monorail car packed with people not wearing their masks. It's not like there's a CM on the trains to enforce it.

Rules are rules…and people should shut up and follow the damn rules.
