News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[peter11435]

I would agree with that. If I remember correctly, it was the Union that pushed for masks and face shields for employee "safety."

Masks were a no brainer and always part of the companies plan. Certain unions pushed for face shields.

I just got back. It was nice to not wear the mask all the time. It was nice to walk around the WS sipping my drink. It was hit or miss if a CM told you to put on a mask in the skyliner cue. Every other cue, as long as you were outside the building, no one bothered you to put on a mask. As long as the Runaway Railroad cue was, and as man CMs you passed along the way, we were only told to put on a mask once we entered the building. The height of silliness, the hostess at Hollywood & Vine made us wear it for the 30 foot walk to our table.

I think the word you are looking for is "moot." I dont understand what us moot about it though.

Both words. Also, protocols (like masks) are fast fading away as folks feel inconvenienced now and would rather talk than do.

I am really disappointed the mask requirement continues to include outdoor queues.

Guests are rewriting those requirements. I imagine they'll be lifted any day now.

That’s the rule.

Sea World, Busch Gardens, and now Dollywood require no masks anywhere...."Following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fully vaccinated guests can now visit Dollywood without wearing a mask or physically distancing". Interestlingly, Six Flags is still requiring outdoor masks per their website(s).

Has DW also removed mask requirements and physical distancing indoors?

I dunno. They still won’t let me wear my ski mask and carry my photo realistic dark chocolate 357. In short, the new “relaxed” policy with regards to masks did not have an impact on me.

 

[CAV]

That’s the rule.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea.

Listen if you think the rule is silly that’s one thing. But your post reads as though you’re saying she was being silly making you wear it. She was doing her job asking you to follow the rules. A rule that was set by Disney because they are following current county guidelines that require face coverings indoors. Even when walking 30 feet to your table.

"Our revised policy now allows fully vaccinated guests and guests aged 12 and under to visit Dollywood without wearing a mask or physically distancing (both indoors or outdoors)."

 

[peter11435]

You listen. And stop assuming. My statement is commentary had nothing to do with the hostess and everything to do with the absurdity of eating unmasked but walking to and from the table masked

I’m not making assumptions, I’m reading what you wrote. You specifically said the hostess made you.

And the reason you are required to wear your mask while walking to and from your table is because you will likely not be physically distant from other parties while on the way. Once seated at your table you are properly distanced from other parties.

 

[Baloo62]

Their company their rules and you can spend your money elsewhere if you do not agree.

This sentiment also applies the second Disney relaxes the INDOOR mask mandate. Can't have it both ways.

 

[Baloo62]

Yes. Ditto for Sea World and both Busch Garden locations.

 

[FormerMember]

Explain.

You serious Clark?

This. I don't need people breathing on my food while they are walking past my table. Didn't like it before covid, like it even less now.

Seems fine today at Magic Kingdom. To no surprise of mine, guests are following the mask in queue rule better here than at Universal.

It’s really hard to complain about wearing a mask in shaded indoor queues when the alternative the last year was every second unless you’re eating.

No surprise I agree , I have seen more unruly at UO than at WDW.

Doesn't the waitress or waiter breath on your food?
Unlike people briefly walking by your table - and depending on where your table is, often no one walks by it - your waitress or waiter makes repeated trips to your table, leans over it, and speaks.
