Exactly,I don't see how we give guests and CM's some protection from asymptomatic spreaders without masks.

I'm not the OP, but I have asthma and I've spent many a vacation at WDW with no issue. Luckily it's managed with daily meds. Put me in the list of folks who find wearing a mask uncomfortable, although I fully admit for ME it's 50% mental. Like, I think my breathing is being restricted, although it's not really, which makes me very uncomfortable. I'm good for as long as it takes me in the grocery store or wherever, but no longer.Honest question and I truly don’t mean any disrespect but would you even take your son to Disney with asthma? Seems like a big risk to me if there isnt a cure/vaccine readily available to take a child to a place with tons of people from all over the world coming and going.
Yes this. I cover my sneezes by cupping my hands tightly with a tissue, dispose of tissue and sanitize hands. This is supposed to be WORSE than blowing snot through a cloth?? *gagI'd rather cough or sneeze into my inner arm than to blow it all over fabric on my face. I would rather cover my mouth or nose or use a tissue then throw the tissue away and wash my hands. I think its gross to see someone pull out a handkerchief and blow snot into it then place it back in thier pocket. And then it's not gross to sneeze or cough into a face mask? A cough has force and cloth won't help but, covering your face will be more effective.
And yet...the supposed golden child of mask wearing culture has influenza outbreaks and hmmm oh yeah a huge outbreak of this virus. Also Asian culture, particularly Japanese-wear masks to be able to be anti social as much as "protection". Earbuds, mask, phone-no need to have to interact with anyoneThis is a cultural difference that has been discussed in various news articles about how use of face mask was effective in bringing CV-19 under control in Asian countries/territories such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea. In Asian countries
yes the computer model that who knows if took into account viral load and distance and contact time. Because those things aren't known yet. Along with efficiency of different kids of masks. Maybe they did take all that into account?Countries that wear masks are getting a handle on this virus and research indicates they are effective.
As a nation, we would do well to heed this advice.
Yep!! Plenty of country to explore for a whole lot less money.I just can't believe that the wearing of masks in Disney is such a deal breaker for so many people. Is every one really going to just not going to something they obviously enjoy just because of the facemask??
I have asthma and go? are we supposed to wrap in a bubble and just exist?Honest question and I truly don’t mean any disrespect but would you even take your son to Disney with asthma?

Some of you are so funny to me. Those who really think they will be able to go an entire 14 hour day in the Florida heat/humidity with a mask on while refraining from taking it off and/or adjusting it are flat out kidding yourselves. You are laughable. I live in WA. I am an EMT. My shifts, wearing a mask full-time on the clock in 70 degree weather with minimal humidity at this point in the year has been MISERABLE. No way you 'warriors' will abide by the rules once you realize just how incredibly difficult (impossible) it will be to wear a mask the entire day while attempting to enjoy yourselves. I am all for safety. One hundred percent. They should keep the parks closed throughout the summer if this is their intention, which it appears to be. I assure you the local Fire Departments better be at the READY, because people will be fainting from heat exhaustion left and right. My gut tells me that Disney will quickly turn to "recommending masks" for the July/August months.

We don't wear respirators at my FD. Just masks.No one (at least the sensible people) ever said the park goers would need to wear EMT/hospital grade respirators (not masks btw). A simple nose and mouth covering is all that’s required in places. Have you tried on a simple cloth or bandanna style mouth covering? Very, very different from a respirator that a medical professional would wear at work. Probably won’t do the average person much good, but it at least passes the requirement.
BTW, never understood the desire to go to WDW in the summer in the first place—even without most coverings.
edited to say lol: went back to work with a mask on...I went back to work today in an air conditioned office for 6 hours. It was 60 degrees outside. I couldn't take it for longer than an hour. I have moved my trip from April, to June, to July and now have a back up for August. I have come to the realization today that I can't put myself and family through it. I was in the "open the park with all social distancing and whatever it takes" camp. NOPE! Not doing it. I can wait. I just hope Disney can survive. BTW, I would be completely fine dealing with a mask in an inclosed air conditioned area for a limited amount of time.
We're coming down from Canada. For us the border has to open up first and the 14 days of quarantine has to be lifted otherwise we're out of luck.you and me! I’m praying we can go in October. It’s just me and my healthy daughter going. I plan to wear masks. I wear them all day at work. It’s no big deal.
But! Are you worried they’ll require quarantine and you’ll be unable to go? If they require two weeks quarantine after travel I’ll have to cancel. Can’t afford that much time of for 3 days at Disney!
It seems there may be guests without masks, as Disney has stated exceptions will be made for those with disabilities.
I know this isn’t the thread topic, but we choose to go in the summer. My husband is a teacher and gets two personal days a year. Our options are fall break in October, Christmas, Spring Break, or summer. It’s a choose-your-poison if we want to go.BTW, never understood the desire to go to WDW in the summer in the first place—even without most coverings.
Yep, 15 years. They are accustomed to it. Springing it on a bunch of unhealthy Americans in a sink/swim methodology seems unwise.Just an interesting tidbit for all the weather worriers out there:
Hong Kong is 1 degree Celsius cooler than WDW on average with similar summer humidity levels. Yet hundreds of people a day have survived summer at HKDL while wearing face masks for 15 years.
They do, in fact, move them to consume beverages and eat.
Disney can do/require whatever they please. They are a private business. People on this thread are talking as if Disney is setting policy for the entire United States. I think it’s smart given the current climate to require masks/face coverings of all guests. If you can’t comply with that requirement then don’t go. It’s pretty simple.Yep, 15 years.
