Good deal, a bit later than normal late August roll out which I am guessing has to do with the lack of Halloween parties this year?

That, and the ongoing furloughs of Holiday Services, although that should be coming to an end soon if it hasn't already

Love the line that adults can't wear costume masks. If masks are still required for Covid by that time, wanna bet how many halloween-themed Covid masks will be seen? Sounds like a business opportunity...

I wonder when the decor will go up... Going to be there the 12-19th.

EDIT: I also wonder when the crane will be installed? lol It will just ruine my food mix... I mean pictures...

The key distinction here is "costume masks". I think it goes without saying that approved face coverings are okay for adults.

understood. But, themed covid masks will be very close to the same as a full costume face mask. It's already hard enough to recognize people with the masks.

Yes they will.

Do you have an example? I'm having a hard time visualizing a mask that both looks like a costume mask and is compliant with WDWs acceptable mask policy.

The most important part for some guests:

​

According to Disney, "for the first time guests of all ages can wear your funniest, Disney-ist, most creative costumes during Magic Kingdom Park regular operating hours from Sept. 15 to Oct. 31. As an important reminder, costume masks are not permitted for adults; only children younger than 14 years old are permitted to wear costume masks."​

Now, how long do you think it will take for Disney to clarify that a child's costume mask (the full face plastic kind with a tiny mouth hole) cannot substitute for a pandemic mask and the pandemic mask will still have to be worn under the costume mask?

Yep I foresee some issues with masks during that period.
