This is a good alternative for children who cannot mask and for parents who want to see their smiles.View attachment 495920

Are these acceptable at Disney?

In other news,

Have we discussed random people grilling hot dogs outside of Cookes of Dublin at DS yet? That seems like a fun guest behavior discussion point.

(that happened today, by the way)

I just saw this on Twitter! I have so many questions

Not asking to be argumentative at all, but is what you are saying a medically proven fact? I ask in all seriousness - is there any medical data that suggests that someone has the same chance of contracting the virus from someone that has very recently tested negative vs someone that has not yet been tested - I totally understand that people that test positive have different extents of the virus - some get a fever-
some don't - some have difficulty breathing - some don't - some lose sense of taste and/or smell - some don't - some are totally asymptomatic -
But as far as people that have been tested - recently - and tested negative - wouldn't they be safer to be around than someone that has not been tested - regardless of symptoms ?

From the CDC website:

A vaccine may never come. Will we not wear masks forever.

100% agree. Masks are just a feel good thing. The requirement to wear masks will be gone before the end of this year. Impossible for WDW to throw out paying customers left and right, being Facebook live video fed to thousands. If you are not comfortable going to WDW without a mask then don't go. Simple.

They should be. It's a face covering. And super cute. Wish I had known these existed before today. Earliest I'm seeing you can get them is 2 months out

Do go on!

I don't want to post the link because the poster (reporter for attractions mag) didn't blur out the children's faces and I think that is iffy to share, but he posted pictures to his twitter. Basically, it seems a family brought in some sort of portable cooking source and a full spread of hot dogs + condiments and got to grilling on some tables outside of Cookes of Dublin. The photos show the family (I count 8) having their "picnic" and Disney security confronting a lady cooking (I assume Mom).

Dollywood looks like its opening soon. You can always go there for an escape.

from what I am hearing from a CM not as soon as other places in PF

 

[Jrb1979]

Do you think this will be a trend for the coming days/weeks? If so, then I won't be driving over to DS this week or next just in case a photo is taken of me sipping a drink with my mask out of the way.

In away I hope so. It might be the only way some will get it. I was hoping the task force Disney put in place would make a difference.

Yea, saw that, but would need to wait until summer and school ends -

 

[Marissa227]

I understand that - but just speaking from a logical perspective ,( not assuming that ppl are positive ) wouldn't most ppl feel safer being around someone that has actually been tested recently (and tested negative) than being around someone that has not been tested ?

No.
The incubation period for the virus is about 14 days. Detection via rt-PCR is unlikely before symptom onset, especially during the first week following exposure. So you could definitely test negative while harboring the virus. All a negative test really means is that at that particular moment in time, you don't have enough virus in your nasopharynx to be replicated and detected. There is also a lot of concern about false negatives with tests that have received Emergency Use Authorization. I wouldn't put much stock in a negative test result. I'm a medical lab scientist.

Any reports from reservations being canceled today? Do we know if the next round of cancelations went out?

Unknown but I would bet quite a lot of money these would be accepted as "reasonable accommodation" under the ADA,

Oh to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Not yet. This was just asked 1 page back. Last week the cancellation emails went out on Thursday morning.

Still not yet. June 10 res here

Found 3 cute ones for my 3 two-year olds and the earliest delivery being June 12-July 6. Went ahead with them. It's worth a shot even though my kids are young enough to be excluded from the requirement. Thank you for the suggestion, didn't even know they existed.

I suggest we avoid discussing ways to circumvent the mask policy. Discussing ways to get around Disney rules are against disboards policies.
