Whatever Disney wants to do, they will do. It doesn’t really matter what Desantis says, they aren’t following him. Which I cant blame them, he’s not a doctor or any type of medical professional. i wouldn’t go to a politician for medical advice just like i wouldn’t go to a doctor for advice on campaigning. dont worry, they will eventually lift more and more rules as time goes on and more people are vaccinated. but when you have a place that is all about tourism and disney being the cultural melting pot that it is, you should take whatever precaution you deem necessary. they have already lost a ton because of this mess, they could easily lift everything and jam that park full to regain some loss but they obviously believe the safety of its consumers are more important. and to that, i applaud.
Oh, please. Disney doesn’t give a rip about safety. None of the “restrictions” are about safety. It’s about FEAR! Fear of getting sued. Fear of being attacked. Fear of being canceled. Fear of discrimination. Fear of getting shut down. Fear of getting sick. Fear of dying. Fear. Fear. Fear! Thank goodness Governor Desantis doesn’t buy into the fear. Disney would be smart to follow his example if they expect to stay in business and recoup their financial losses.
You are so right! People need to wake and realize Bob Iger is part of the problem and the overblown fear of a virus that has a proven track record of a 97% recovery rate.
im sorry, but your comment makes no sense. if he lifts the restrictions… they wouldnt have the fear of over half the things you listed them being fearful of. in fact, from face value, them not following Desantis’ guidelines is subjecting them to more discrimination, more fear of being attacked, more fear of being “cancelled”.. also, wouldnt anybody be fearful of being sick and/or dying?
andd yes, of course they wwould love to recoup their financial loss, any business would. but a place that is dependent on attendance… a second shut down or even more strenuous restrictions would be even worse for them financially.
and dont worry, something like this wouldn’t put disney out of business. they have so many different streams of income, some of which have skyrocketed in popularity during this pandemic, this park alone wouldnt be the nail in the coffin.
DeSantis has never understood or followed the science. The pandemic is dragging on because of behavior such as his. If people had actually followed the CDC recommendations, even as they changed as more was learned about COVID-19, and everyone who can get the vaccines did so, this pandemic would effectively be over. But no.
Variants are continuing to evolve, exactly as predicted. Now it’s the 50 and under group that are driving the pandemic and filling the hospitals with those variants. Florida’s approach will only cause this to continue, get worse, last longer, and cause more grief. What a sad, sad statement about us as a society.
Are you God or something? You can’t prove that Desantis is responsible for things “dragging on”. You can’t prove that “Florida’s approach will only cause this to continue, get worse, last longer, and cause more grief.” IN FACT, If you’ve really been following the data, you would know that states which have imposed the harshest restrictions are reporting the same numbers as states like Florida.
Remember: Truth doesn’t care about your ignorance.
Ive had it. Whole family had it. Yeah its tribble people died . But its evolution these dieses come along and kill off the weak. There is no way of knowing the fact. Thanks to MSM. And government propagandas
You are so right! People need to wake and realize Bob Iger is part of the problem and the overblown fear of a virus that has a proven track record of a 97% recovery rate.
The question ultimately are you willing to wear a mask in order to save a childs life. If you say no then why the hell are you going to Disney World which is supposed to be a safe haven for children. Take your politics or beliefs out the window. Its about the safety of the children.
Disney has done a comendible job of following the advice of science and been highly successful in doing so. I feel strong”y that DISNEY continue its current policies and protect cast members and guests. If people can’t wear a mask because it’s inconvenient, then maybe they should wait a while longer before returning. Money is not the only thing to consider. Stockholders can wait for their reward while Disney continues to protect human lives.
Disney needs to get up to speed. 1) The CDC reduced social distancing to 3 feet at the beginning of 2021. 2) Florida has been at full capacity and mask free since last September (this new mandate to enforce local governments to stop issuing fines to businesses). 3) DeSantis has already put into place a NO vaccine passport law directly in response to Disney announcing they would require it. 4) Disney has been overly discriminatory against handicapped people (especially handicapped children) who have a variety of health reasons as to why they cannot wear a mask (in fact, Disney has ignored ADA laws for years; I’m in a wheel chair and I get better service at other theme parks). 5) ACA has determined that forcing your child to wear a mask is just short of child abuse.
It is NOT Disney’s responsibility to protect everyone’s health; you enter the parks at your own risk. Disney is only responsible if something happens to you because it is directly the fault of Disney such as a ride malfunction, food poisoning or whatever that is a direct result of something Disney could prevent.
If it makes you feel better, wear a mask, get a vaccine, do what you have to to protect yourself – it is your responsibility to take care of yourself – NOT everyone else.
We actually do Sue. We do need to take care of everyone else. How heartless is it to not care if you spread a new, highly contagious virus to people. We have a civic duty to care about those in our community. We need to care about each other and and stop thinking it’s all about ME, ME, ME all the time. It’s really become sickening.
What’s sickening is people like you who force others to do things against their will in order to make you feel better. What’s sickening is the virtue signaling that people like you embrace. What’s sickening is people like you who think your health and well-being is everyone else’s responsibility instead of your own. Talk about heartless.
PLEASE Disney remove the tyrannical COVID-19 protocols! Y’all are becoming Woke Disney World not Walt Disney World! Seriously these protocols are psychotic.
I believe that Floridians want their cake and eat it too. I haven’t seen many mask wearing Floridians . The heck with people I want my freedom! They are selfish and ignorant! I hate to see them drive ! After all look at what kind of freedom they take away from you! Which side of the road to drive, how fast, when to stop ect. To bad we can’t make a special place for all Floridians?
The pandemic is not over yet and allowing more guests into the park prematurely and not wearing a mask not only jeopardizes the employees, but also the guests who are at higher risk. Disney is being considerate of others. Nobody likes to wear a mask but if we stop wearing them before the pandemic is over, there will be another outbreak. I know this from experience. My church had signs at first to wear masks, however, many people decided not to wear one. There was an outbreak of Covid. Still people do not wear masks in church and two weeks ago, there was another outbreak in the church. I admire Disney for putting people first.
Its time to get back to basics of living. I am in the health care field and had to work from home for a year. Thats hard. Finally opened office and went back this week. We can’t hide from dying. Disney has done a good job of protection. I think its time to fully open with all the fun so I can come with a kid and trick or treat in Oct, I missed is last yr.
Are you willing to give up driving to save a child’s life? More people die from car crashes than covid. How dare you travel in vehicles that put ALL of us in mortal danger! Walk, don’t drive, and you can save a life.
I just don’t understand….. Why cannot we make the decision to wear or not wear a mask personally and have people respect everyone’s decisions? Why must everyone argue about what’s right or wrong. If you don’t want to wear one, don’t, and if you do, do wear it. How hard is that?
It’s just appalling how many people are still so afraid due to the media hype and the Fauci flip flops. Just crazy that after a years worth of statistics showing a very high survival rate, that children under 24 are at very low risk, and with 3 very effective vaccines available to everyone over 16 that people are still frightened. It’s long overdue that everything be opened up with no more government restrictions (local or state). People say “follow the science” then follow it. There is no reason for masking up children, vaccinated adults, or anyone who is reasonably healthy. Those who are at risk should probably always be wary of theme parks, crowded places and other situations. Come on people. Time to get over this. And as for Desantis, his way of governing is far better than Michiigan’s, New York’s, and crazy California’s. Those three states are a joke.
Disney needs to either allow free people to choose whether they want to wear a mask or not otherwise they should close their doors…I hardly think they will do that. Get with the program Disney and stop pandering to left wing politics.

I hate masks I love DeSantis.

As a private company, Disney is under no obligation to relax any restrictions just because the state has said they can or should relax them.
I think they should rely on their own experts and do what they think is appropriate to protect their guests and employees.

I feel bad for the Disney crew when all the stupid Magat Karens and snowflake Kens try to push back on the mask requirement.
Still, it should make for some really funny You Tube videos watching these losers finding out.
