Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

[Sugarshock]

I know right? I was going to cancel our trip due to pictures/reports of large crowds. Right now I'm
keeping the reservation. I saw on twitter someone posted "thousands should cancel their trips in protest".
One can hope.

Right? Please cancel

Since masks are back, I would recommend a mask lanyard because you end up putting on and taking off a mask A LOT. I bought these lanyards from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H85M69L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just ordered some lanyards yesterday. Hopefully they get here tomorrow; we leave on Sunday.

Thankfully it seems that OP deleted their comment about challenging CMs on this. Frontline workers have absolutely zero input on policy, or power to change them. Leave CMs alone and let them do their job.

I agree. Yelling at CMs solves nothing and it’s horrible to do that. When elective surgeries were canceled, they had me screening patients. OMG, never been sworn at so much in my life and I work with surgeons.

People have varying opinions about masking and such…please don’t abuse someone who has no power and control over policies and procedures. Write a letter to the higher ups if you want to.

I ordered some before our trip and forgot to bring them! It wasn’t a problem until now. Oh well, I did bring plenty of disposable masks

Thanks for the tip! Just ordered these.

Those lanyards seem great, but I’m not sure I want my mask hanging in front of me when I’m having pictures taken.

The only way out of this is to not go if you don’t agree with their policy!

These people are already there.

I think it will be worse. You will have regular crowd levels due to normal MK closing time plus Boo Bash people who get to come in early. We aren't going until later in Oct so won't get to see HEA, but we went ahead and changed our MK day to a non-BB day (since we aren't attending). It will probably still be very crowded either way. Hope someone does report back!

Thanks. I actually rechecked my plans and we were already doing MK during the day on a Boo Bash day and MK during the night for HEA on a non-boo bash day, so I must have been thinking this same way already

I ordered some cute animal print and tie dye design ones that break away for my daughter but i'm hoping they are long enough for me as well. Adding these to my cart to remember them just incase!

I don't blame you . The lanyard is loose enough so that you can pull the whole thing over your head for photos, or you can disconnect one side and set the mask aside for photos. It was just really handy for the on and off nature of "inside queue" masking which will be the majority of your time in the parks.

Yes, but yelling at CMs doing their job or making them tell you multiple times to put a mask on is out of line and uncalled for, would you not agree?? It’s not their fault, they are literally just doing their job

Can you flip it around so that the mask is on your back during the photo? The lanyard would still be visible but the mask wouldn't be.

That's what I did a couple times.

 

[Sarahslay]

Right? Please cancel

I couldn't decide if I should laugh at this or love this, safe to say both. Yes, please, cancel in protest, show all of us and Disney who's boss lol

Does anyone know if they are still deleting photos pass pics on rides when passengers don’t have masks on?

Good to know. I’ve saved that to my Amazon list in case I decide to get them.

Yep, or tuck it down in your shirt (as my daughter kept doing in May/June lol). It's easy enough to swing it around real quick, I always have on a lanyard or chain with my mask but don't like my mask hanging down in the pictures either.

Very true. It’ll be like a very small cape.

Ummmm.....we're keeping our masks on the entire time.

Anyone have experience with Summer crowds after Aug 14th. I know most southern schools are back in session. Was hoping we would see a big downtrend in crowds...anyone experience that
