News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[arich35]

You guys know that even if the requirement to wear a mask goes away... You can still wear one if you want, right? Like... No one is saying you have to stop wearing them. I don't understand why people lose their minds when other people are no longer forced to suffocate against their will.

Was thinking the same thing. There will still be a ton of people who still want to wear masks

Christ, if people are vaccinated and you won’t go somewhere where people don’t wear masks outside?! You need to look inward.

IMHO people booked expecting X and it changes to Y IMHO they should get a refund if they so choose. How do you know that person your telling to look inward doesn't have a medical condition or is traveling with those not yet eligible for the shot

Well because the reason to require masks is primarily about the mask reducing the chances of giving the virus to OTHER people, so me wearing a mask but none of the other people near me is a bit pointless.

Obviously you don’t know anything about the science because the myth that heat kills the virus was proven wrong last year. Keep trying though.

The heat doesn’t but UV light does.

Masks are better at preventing the virus from escaping your mouth and nose, but they do also offer protection from the virus getting in. It's an effectiveness thing.

This!

This is just plane dumb. I’m vaccinated and I still have to wear a mask?

Disney has waaaaay more kids per capita than anywhere else besides a school. Schools require masks and distancing

...Which is in conflict with the science.

Well.

Not all of them. The smart ones realized that it was unnecessary, and worse, harmful, and have moved on from them.

Masks aren't harmful.

 

[monothingie]

Masks aren't harmful.

Have your kid run a race with a mandatory masking requirement and then get back to me.

That's poor management.

Schools here don't require distancing any more. Not really anyway. The standard now is that they "try" to maintain six feet of distance "when possible" but otherwise three feet (or less) is accepted. When classrooms are full, six feet is never possible, so effectively the standard is reduced to "don't get on top of one another."

Distancing will disappear first at Disney as well.

 

[marni1971]

Well.

 

[monothingie]

At the school or the hospital where they’re taken to when they pass out?

 

[ImperfectPixie]

Well.

Right?!?

 

[ImperfectPixie]

At the school. If they want to hold races and follow safety protocols, they can hold timed races rather than having the kids racing together so the kids aren't near each other.

Cheap bar soap? Anyone remember the powder soap in the theme parks bathrooms 20 years ago that cleaned and took off a layer of skin in the process?

I sure do. Another example of Disney cheaping out over the years. They use to give us soap that would clean AND painfully exfoliate but noooooo, that was too much! Now here we are today, once again paying more for less.

Seriously though, that stuff was like washing with sandpaper.
