News Disney will begin reducing physical distancing to 3ft over the next few weeks at Walt Disney World

[tpac24]

Then theme parks (movie theaters or concerts) aren’t for you.

Okey Dokey!

Bye, Plexiglass.

Thank God.

 

[The Mom]

please remember that this is the physical distancing thread - not the covid or mask thread. Thank you.

If all this is happening and capacity is getting closer to normal, then I don’t see why the fast passes can’t make an appearance. If not, there are going to be a lot of unhappy people!! I didn’t ever understand why they did away with them anyway!

This isn't the FP thread, but there's a number of reasons why they probably won't be back for a bit and likely will not return in the form they were before.

I suspect "enforcement" to be gentle reminders when there are throngs of people. I don't think they will be taking out tape measures and backing people up by a foot.

Right now with the wait taped markers on the ground measured off at 6’ many guests are still walking right up on top of you. In some attractions the CM’s are telling guests to keep space between guests but that lasts only a short time. As the line moves guests just move steps ahead and stop on any spot. It’s been frustrating.

True! The 6' space markers are, for the most part, still there though some have flaked or worn away. 3' markers would not improve the situation of maintaining personal space (social distancing) between people due to the accordion effect as people move. So markers MEH! It comes down to guests being considerate of each other and as we all know there is a good sprinkling of the (its all about me) folks to screw it all up.

Also sounds like some Plexiglass has been removed from some pre-show areas in RoTR.

Am I the only one who wishes the masks were gone but the distancing stayed? I actually liked having arm space in queue's.

But then you spend more time out in the sun...

I want into the air-conditioned buildings ASAP.

I like the heat, so I'm definitely okay with space

It’s supposed to be like 97 degrees when I come next week lol

Very thankful I won’t need a mask outside.

Oof, that's pretty bad! I have a few more weeks to go myself.

Social distancing is nice when it's hot too... less warm sweaty (smelly) bodies on top of each other

I’ll be your partner in perspiration. Scheduled to arrive Friday morning next week.

I don't want to get any closer than three feet anyway. COVID or not.

If it's safe to do now, that's great news.

Yes. The CDC says it is.
