Masks required while lounging at pools?

[HarperRose]

I know masks are required while walking around public spaces at the resorts and to and from the pool. Are they also required to be worn while lounging in chairs by the pool? I read what it says on the WDW site, but the wording is vague.

Is there someone who has visited recently who can confirm?

From several recent trip reports, you have to wear one going to and leaving the pool side, but once you are at the pool side, you can remove the masks whether on a lounger or going to the pool. But if you then need to go to the rest rooms or pool bar you need to put it back on.

Thank you.

I knew they would be required walking around but was unsure of when you're still and sitting on a chair.

I saw both this past week. Some lounging with it on, and others not. There wasn't anyone telling people to put it back on if lounging.

We were there in July and noted to only have to wear while walking about. If you were in your chair lounging or in the pool it could be off. Once you start walking to other areas, bar, bathrooms, etc. it needed to be on.

Just got back yesterday from the Contemporary/Copper Creek. A cast member came around at the Contemporary and explained that you need to wear the mask only when walking out of the gated pool area, including to use the bathroom.
