Mask Mandates Dropping For Disney Transportation?

[HairyChest]

Now that mask mandates for public transportation have been struck down, how quickly will we see Disney follow suit and remove the mandates from their transportation on monorails and busses?

I think this Friday it will be lifted. Announcement incoming Wednesday or Thursday

Disney will be taking a wait and see approach with this.

More then a week?

No time frame, this ruling just came and the other parties have not decided course of action. If the CDC says they don’t want to pursue it then it could go away quickly, if they do want to pursue the ruling then don’t expect a change in policy until everything is settled.

Disney technically doesn't have to follow it as is. They could stop today if they wanted.

I would imagine there’ll probably be an appeal, which would surely push the legal proceedings beyond the next expiration date of 5/3. So who knows what’ll happen.

They will wait for Universal and then make a move. It seems to be their modus operandi as of late. It used to be the other way around, but now Universal dictates what Disney does. Talk about giving in to your competition!

That's what every addict says...

Is the fact that they are their own government entity via Reedy Creek what makes a difference here? Is it possible that they feel that they are required under the CDC guidelines?

Hasn't universal not had masks required for a long time now?

This seems debatable.

Personally, I believe that Disney Transportation falls under “transportation” and that most in authority would agree.

You haven’t needed a mask on Universal’s busses for quite some time.

Then why haven't they? They have dropped all other mitigation, and dropped the requirements on the Skyliner, why hold on to this if there wasn't some sort of outside influence?

Disney transportation (specifically buses and monorails because of the number of passengers per vehicle) is subject to Federal Transportation rules and is required to follow those guidelines.

it’s all moot now, the White House has stated that the TSA and NTSB will no longer enforce the mask mandate. This is in the last hour or so. It will likely take a little while for Disney to make a change decision and communicate it.

Basically this doesn't mean masks aren't allowed but just that it's not legal to "force" people.

Hope it’s sooner. The current rule and compliance is simply laughable

Nah

United Airlines and others just announced dropping it. Disney didn't keep theirs around for safety reasons (need I point out that they have zero COVID protocol whatsoever elsewhere on property). May they overthink it and drop it in a Friday dump? Sure. But I honestly think it will be gone by Wednesday.

The person I responded to was indicating that this wasn't true.

Yup.

It is a gray area that Disney has not felt it necessary to fully determine. As far as Disney's legal team is concerned, they view both modes as part of the mandate.
