WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

Even if you dont order anything else? I read thatfor indoor QS locations you could not go in and just get ice water unless you have something else (food/drink) to pick up via mobile order.
You have to tell the cm at the door. I would go to Starbucks for water or go to first aid
 
That is strange, I wonder if that's why? Before all ADRs were canceled, it took me forever to get a 4 person ADR there, I had to book 2 reservations for 2 before and get them as close times as I could, and then I kept checking. Seems like now it's the opposite issue. I booked for 4 with no problem when ADRs opened up for those canceled and had choice of times.


It was like that even before this mess.
 
They probably do but you really shouldn’t eat in line with other people there. You have to pull down your mask to eat and other people in line may not appreciate it since they have no way to move away from you. You then force them to be close to you while your mask is down even if 6’ away in an area that is enclosed. This isn’t a restaurant that they know and acknowledge people will have masks off to eat. You expect people to keep their masks on while in line not taking them off to snack. If people start using this as an excuse then to many people will be in lines without masks on. Disney should impliment a rule that if you are eating or drinking you must have to stop and find a spot to sit and enjoy your snack. Walking and snacking shouldn’t be allowed. The possible spread widens as you go by multiple people without a mask on while snacking.
Can I just say...it was so nice to see a mask-related post that was thoughtful and explicit about concerns, with a good suggestion of alternate solutions, that didn’t resort to shaming and/or name-calling? Thank you for the breath of fresh air (pun totally intended).

I agree that there should be no snacking in queues. But walking around the park, it's easy enough to avoid people with their mask down. However, I saw the "snacking" excuse coming when they announced opening. It could get out of control. On the other side, it's very difficult to find a place to sit in any park these days. They have removed most of the benches.
 


Question... Why are the parade cast members(dancers not the one on the float) not wearing masks? Also band members who are not using mouth instruments. Only reason I ask is they are pretty close to people and most are yelling welcome and other stuff.
This!!! Exactly This!

Why is no one talking about this? They are playing these instruments, and spraying their droplets (I hate that word) everywhere, while guests stand there and watch!

Haven't they set up relaxation areas? That should be designated as a snack area. The number 1 reason I cancelled my August vacation is because I'd have to trust people to do the right thing. This country needs to be on the same page or this thing will not go away any time soon. I would not want to spend my vacation avoiding people who just want to be jerks or worrying about whether I'd just exposed my family unnecessarily.

I agree with you. In most places the general rule is "you must wear a mask when social distancing of six feet or more is not possible." If you're outside in the open air and well away from everyone else there's no reason you can't take a bite or drink of something. From what I have seen, it's totally doable to stay six feet away from anyone while walking. I'm not going to find a designated area every time I want a sip of water.
 


Disney should post signs at the entrance. "If you are in a queue and seen not wearing your mask you will be removed from property". Who cares how much someone spent on a ticket or trip. If people cannot obey the rules they should be removed. I can't stand all these ignorant people thinking somehow they are better then everyone else or that rules somehow don't apply to them.
 
If you take your mask off on a ride then you don't get your attraction photo.
I wonder if they WILL even get to re open EPCOT and DHS at this rate.

I’m not saying it’s a good reason, but you know how they lip sync the songs? I wonder it’s so little kids don’t ask a million questions about why the don’t sound muffled
 
This may be a stupid question, but here goes, and one that I've wondered about for a while now.

When we hear about the annual attendance from a source of some kind (for example, 20.86 million attendance at Magic Kingdom in 2018), does a park hopper count as a single attendee for that day, or do they count multiple times if they park hop that day?

So if I start at Magic Kingdom for the day and then park hop over to Epcot in the afternoon, do my two parks count as two visits towards these attendance statistics?

Thanks.


I don't know if it's true and have no source other than these boards, but I've read in the past that your first park entry is what is counted.

I just read that Disneyland Hong Kong is shutting down due to a second outbreak of Covid. With our numbers rising here I hope it gets under control soon or we may suffer the same with closings.

The amount of spit you put into a brass instrument is amazing. Its kinda gross really.

As a brass player, I agree! Seriously, the amount of spit on stage after a concert is disgusting! Puddles everywhere. I'm sure microdroplets make it through the bell of all of the instruments, but especially the brass ones. I really don't see how it can be done safely. I don't know how orchestras are going to survive the pandemic, but we need them to.
