I don’t think it is more or less than any other ride. Your face usually doesn’t get much of the splash. We try to pay attention in the queue to the people near us. The ones that cheat on the rides tend to have “warning signs” in line like not distancing, nose peeking, pulling down masks to talk or take a sip. We give those people a wide berth and then ask to be seated in a separate vehicle for shared vehicle rides like POTC, or a to wait a bit back like at Splash.
This is sound advice. I forgot to do this once when I went on Splash, and if you think walking around Disney with a mask is uncomfortable, try doing so with a wet mask!
I figure as long as we’re outside, we can always put some distance between us & people who, in our assessment, are being unsafe. I hate water rides anyhow, but when I asked my (water-ride loving) daughter if Splash should be part of our plan, that was the one thing she worried about. I got the first of the two Moderna shots already (am scheduled for shot #2 right after we’re back), so I will have at least partial immunity when we’re there.

Everyone has their own level of comfort of course, but I REALLY don't think you should let this stress you out. WDW is THE safest place we have been with THE most stringent rules. We are from So Cal and went in August - it was like COVID boot camp. We got back to LAX and immediately were stunned how LITTLE we were doing here in CA, and as you know CA has far more shut down than the rest of the nation. If anything, I would avoid Fri-Sun in the parks. We saw more (not a lot more) rule breakers during those days than mod-week. Draw your own conclusions there.I figure as long as we’re outside, we can always put some distance between us & people who, in our assessment, are being unsafe.

Because they don't typically stand back they loudly complain about what they feel people should or not be doing. And the reports of WDW of how well WDW has been doing during this are all over the place. I have not seen one post about how Nobody wears Masks on SM.
