Headed home after a week. We have been five times since reopening and yesterday at AK was the most crowded day we have experienced. Even with a giant line at the Lion King there was a two hour wait for FoP and 60 minutes for safari and dinosaur. The vibe was very different since our most recent trip in January with many people being much more casual about safety protocols. One of the most noticeable things was that some CM are still strictly enforcing policy to the point of chasing people down while many others say nothing. This inconsistency is causing issues where individuals perceive the CM that enforces as being too strict or picking on them. We saw many instances of chin strap masks and noses out while talking to CM and even security and nothing was said. I include this so others that may not be comfortable will be prepared. Also, we saw a very sad and worrying situation at ToT right before boarding on Thursday near park close. One of the CM threw her face shield to the ground, ripped off her mask put both hands over her face and slid down the wall to a squatting position and began to cry. Very quickly she was whisked away but I thought it was important to share because others have complained that the CM are not as cheery as in normal times and I feel like this moment we witnessed is a testament to the stress level they are dealing with right now. All in all we had fun but we will wait to go again until things change a bit.
Edited because typos on a very bumpy bus!
That is so sad. I am sure they are getting yelled at by a few people that think rules don't apply. The inconsistencies make it really hard. I am a teacher and the same things happen at our schools. Lucky no kids have yelled at anyone but if everyone enforced the rules the way they were supposed to then it would be much less of a problem. We are going in a couple of weeks and have friends that have gone a few times in the last month. They said compliance is pretty good. 95% or so... which would mean about 5 people for every 100 not complying.
