Any mention of mandatory face coverings? I assumed it was a given, but the guest survey from a few weeks ago may lead Disney to think otherwise.

Nope. Theatres, museums, and other such facilities are Stage 4. A theatre that sees 100 patrons can't reopen (for good reason) yet Disney jumps the line for money.

I think you are mistaken. Those are all Phase 3 things. And many are already open, or are reopening this Friday.

LA County to allow gyms, museums, day camps, other businesses to reopen starting Friday

In the latest step toward further reopening the region's economy, several L.A. County businesses can begin to resume operations, including gyms, day camps and museums starting Friday.

Thus, Disneyland has begun the understandably lengthy process to reopen a month from now. Ordering, restocking, rescheduling, retraining, and wrapping their minds around the re-imagined concept of cleaning a $600 per night hotel room before the customer checks in! Clean hotel rooms for $600 per night. This is the New Normal! :rolleyes:

I'm really hoping for optional. I've already decided that if that's the case, we will wear them indoors, but not outdoors.

I'll have to sneak a few drags of the cool, beautiful smelling air sans mask in POTC though.

Me and the kids are already thinking if open, we'll skip Goofy's Kitchen for a Blue Bayou reservation instead. We loved it there on our last trip.

From the CDC:

Cigarette smoking causes about one of every five deaths in the United States each year. Cigarette smoking is estimated to cause the following:
  • More than 480,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke)
  • 278,544 deaths annually among men (including deaths from secondhand smoke)
  • 201,773 deaths annually among women (including deaths from secondhand smoke)
Exposure to secondhand smoke causes an estimated 41,000 deaths each year among adults in the United States:
  • Secondhand smoke causes 7,333 annual deaths from lung cancer.
  • Secondhand smoke causes 33,951 annual deaths from heart disease.
I dunno.....seems like banning smoking would save more lives than people not going to Disneyland.

Please don't make this political, or turn it into another Covid thread. Perhaps we should all wait to see what happens before speculating about the social implications?

Agreed. And yet a big part of this conversation is how they will be balancing the demands (mostly from government or Twitter, some from actual paying customers) for Social Distancing in the parks.

I keep using Jungle Cruise as the example, as its a ride that has been there since 1955. Obviously this can't happen any longer, or at least not for the first few months of operation until the World Health Organization and the TV "experts" change their position (again) on masks and asymptomatic spread.

How do you operate the Jungle Cruise and not have people sitting this close to each other?

How do you run Pirates of the Caribbean that was designed to get 2,900 riders per hour at Disneyland? Leave every other row empty? And take half the boats off line and spread out the dispatch timing? And so only get 800 riders per hour?

How do you feed the Haunted Mansion Omnimover designed to get 2,300 riders per hour based on both of the elevator rooms being packed full of people shoulder-to-shoulder for their elevator ride down into the basement?

Or any attraction loading area really, all designed to move thousands of people per hour through the space and its show?

Extrapolate that out over the 60 other rides and attractions in Anaheim and the mind boggles; Radiator Springs Racers, Racist Splash Mountain - Presented by Ziploc, Little Mermaid, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Submarines, Star Tours, Millennium Falcon: Target Run, Golden Zephyr, Pixar Pal-A-Round, Midway Mania, etc., etc.

I don't envy site moderators like you in these bizarre times.

But I envy even less the Cast Members who have to figure this all out knowing full well there will be Lockdown! fans with Twitter accounts just waiting to see Disneyland mess up on their Social Distancing and then happily accuse Disney of killing grandma for a profit.

As do I. I have plans to go to Vegas in July and Disneyland in September. Was just making a more general point in equal jest.

I work for a theatre and a community center. We're stage 4. As of right now, stage 4 will not happen until a vaccine is in effect.

Yes, my CM friends are none too happy about this decision.
