Being expected to wear a face covering in 90 + degree weather is miserable. I wear it for 9+ hours a day at work in healthcare and I would never pay to go do that for extended time on vacation. My 4 year old daughter will never keep a face mask on. Let alone the fact that masks are called surgical masks for a reason and not intended for extended use. We were originally booked in April but rebooked with the dining offer for September, if masks are still required at that point we will be canceling our reservation until that policy changes.
I think they should enforce it when inside but if you are outside they should make it optional but encouraged. Nothing any different than visited a crowded but socially distancing beach where very few are wearing masks. Also I have a 3 year old and 3 seems too young to me. It’s very hard to get that age to do something they don’t want to do. Especially for an entire day. It can ruin your whole trip. In my opinion those overly concerned with a face mask being worn every second should probably just not go places like this.
I am in favor of wearing a mask. Problem is my grandsons with autism who have a lot of sensory issues may not be able to wear or keep on a mask. Wish they could!! Should we just cancel all plans until their is a vaccine or might things change before December? I guess this question is just rhetorical as we know so little about what December will bring. Thank you.
Even if a vaccine is created before December (and EOY is the earliest realistic timeframe I’ve seen), it may not be widely available. However, more information coming out between now and then could change things. I’d wait a few more months…
I am concerned about this for the children. Some children have severe physical or mental disabilities and may not be able to understand having to wear a mask. Are we going to discriminate against them and their parents telling them they can’t come to the happiest place on Earth? For most of us it may just be an inconvenience and irritating but for others it is just not feasible. I would feel awful if I had a child with severe mental and physical disabilities and not be able to take them to Disney. Their lives are already extremely limited if seeing their favorite Disney character gives them a moment of happiness who are we to deprive them? I agree social distancing will be important and for people who have concerns please wear a mask. But to mandate it is going to cause untold hurt and will leave out some very special people.
Wearing a mask doez not protect you or anyone else. These madks will get wet, and sweaty and will be touched repeatedly, which will cause germs to grow. You would need to have spares with you to change out every few hours. Then you would need to bd able to sanitize them between uses. Also many will get lost or fall off on rides.
If the goal is to stop touching your face, a mask does just the opposite. Everyone i have seen wearing them, touches their face over and over. They reposition it, they take it off to drink, they take it off to breath.
It’s a big mistake.
LOL all the “I’m not wearing a mask and neither is my kid” comments. So stay home, that’s it. You and your kid will not die if you don’t get to spend a day at Disney. First World problem for sure lol
really? they don’t want to wear mask it probably going to be 90 degrees and they don’t want their children to burn in the hot summer sun and maybe die of heatstroke. disney for everyone!
No we are not wearing masks we go to Disneyland every year since 1999, but we will skip this year if we have to wear mask, should be up to each individual. They are too hot and make you nauseous. I agree with person who said Disney charcters are working not spending thousands of dollars for a vacation.
Lol I’m sure your family will be ok with missing 1 year in over 20. The Disney employees who might be protected by the masks worn by considerate people thank you for your sacrifice.
okay well if you are going to take your kids to disney world with a mask make sure to have sunscreen and maybe tons of bottles of water or disney should make a stations where people can get water and other things to cool themselves and their children off.
Disney will go bankrupt trying to enforce such a ridiculous rule. I bring my kids to Disney 2 times a year and will not come back with this rule in effect. People are responsible for their own health, not business they visit or places they work for. If you really think a mask is going to save you then you are a special kind of stupid.
I live in Florida and my family has annual passes. Disney needed to open therefore, they came up with this rule. Unfortunately for Disney, this rule will cost them more in the long run. It will cost more to have all the employees working with a minimal amount guest. Disney money comes from children visiting. If you notice the have all these stands out so children can see and have their parents buy it. Most children can’t or won’t wear mask. As a parent I don’t want to spend Disney money and won’t get the full vacation. I read through most of these comments and majority will not visit because of mask. I agree. Being in the sun all day with mask is not as easy as people think. Florida reaches high 90 and above most days in the summer. I recently took my child to LEGOLAND where they aren’t requiring mask. My 3 yr old lasted 2 hours. Children will be an issue. I’m surprised she lasted that long. However, I’m glad LEGOLAND don’t require them because even though she didn’t keep her mask on, we were still able to enjoy the rest of the day. I couldn’t imagine being kicked out of a park because my 3 yr old can’t keep on a mask if I was spending Disney money. Disney is far from cheap and even with the pandemic, everything Is still the regular price.
As a health care professional, I am hoping that masks will be required of all patrons 3 and older unless there is a medical reason not too. Asthma, deafness and any other acceptable medical reason would be cause to not wear a mask. Children can be taught to tolerate wearing a mask if the adult approaches the idea in a positive manner.
Why don’t all of the folks who are so scared stay home. Why do the healthy folks in the world need to behave like we’re all old, unhealthy, and going to die if we get it. Typical control and entitlement of the world. If we continue to scare folks to death, we’ll do anything we’re told. And to all the health care experts, LOL! Get over yourself. There’s such a corrupt medical society in America, you all should challenge everything you’re told.
I find it interesting and am very interested in the outcome. I think many businesses will fail and I feel that Disney will be in serious trouble if this ends up being the road traveled. I don’t find it necessary for anyone nor any entity to protect me. If I feel danger in doing something then I won’t do it. Millions of folks don’t fly everyday because of fear, regardless of safety efforts. Fear is fear regardless the event. For all those who are so scared, I can list most likely a thousand things we do everyday that would most certainly allow us to get this deadly virus. LOL! By the way, I’d like to ask everyone, what you’ve done since the virus was the 24/7 topic of the day to get healthier, boost your immune system, loose weight, anything???? Sit back and wait to be told what will keep you safe. Farewell to Disney, my 3 DVC memberships, and the thousands every year we’ve given. I don’t think given the guidelines they’ll be any Magic for my family.

I hope all these cry babies do stay home. Better for those of us that are willing to follow rules.
