Dude. Indy line will stretch to Main St even at 25% park capacity without physical distancing if they did that Dino is darn near a walk on many days at WDW with AK at normal capacity (cause it sucks). But Indy... Indy with one car per party sounds like a complete nightmare. Like, it’s my favorite ride in all of DLR, but for the love of Indy don’t bother to open it if they’re gonna give it a capacity of one party per car!

Ideal ride to use a Virtual Queue.

They probably determined plexiglass dividers wouldn’t work on the vehicles or it wasn’t worth it for Dinosaur.

I checked with rteetz and he said photos showed Dinosaur at AK - same ride system as Indy - is only loading 1 party/group per car. That’s good to hear and hopefully DL handles Indy the same.

I’ve not been following WDW closely today - any word on how parties of 1 are being managed? I’m guessing along with no FP+ there will also not be a single rider line to fill those empty seats. But sometimes there are solo travelers. Trying to picture one person in the Indy vehicles or on something like Racers or Splash Mountain.

Info that was posted from the CM Hub stated no Single Rider lines because they weren’t grouping strangers together in ride vehicles.

Solo guests will probably ride alone.

From Salt and Straw website. They will also be open

Info from @yulilin3 on how the IASW boats were cleaned at WDW. Potentially could see something like this at DL.

Do we know what they're using to spray the boats?

She didn't specify. Hopefully something that's not irritating.

Another update: For Naples, I saw reports on instagram and facebook that you can book reservations on their website, not disney's site. If you want to eat there, I would say book a reservation before they fill up. I'm sure they will be running at a lower capacity.

Does this make anyone else hear "Seinfeld" in their head?

New bag check procedure reported at WDW:

New bag check procedure
You put all your electronics and keys, anything metal in a clear plastic bag provided by Disney. The cm does not touch anything
You put your backpack back on and walk through the metal detector

Anything and everything metal must be put in the plastic bag or else it will set off the metal detector

They are the clear wdw ones. So yeah they're big

Even if the gaiter has ear holes, they are not allowed?

Even if the gaiter has ear holes, they are not allowed?

Based on the tweet, I would think not: "Traditional face masks are now required." But we don't have any further news yet, since this just came from the WDW boards. I'm sure we will get more news as other people post their experience.

 

[midnight star]

Here is what will be open at DTD.

What is the issue with the neck gaiters? Is it because they are less effective, or is it something else?

What is the issue with the neck gaiters? Is it because they are less effective, or is it something else?

WDW's face covering requirements state that all face coverings should:

• Fully cover an individual’s nose and mouth and allow the Guest to remain hands-free
• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops
• Be made of breathable material, either disposable or reusable

Standard gaiters don't meet the third requirement for ear loops/ties. However, there are gaiters made with built-in ear loops or ear openings. Those would meet all requirements, but I haven't seen anyone posting about using them at WDW yet.

The quote below from the WDW boards may have an answer:

Prince Charming Dev asked in one of his videos and they indicated it was some sort of Peroxide solution.
