I think the real question is can you just go around the resorts with a Starbucks cup in your hand and your mask around your chin? We saw this all over Disney Springs last week and CM's didn't say a thing.
Just received an email from DVC stating:
”Our Members and guests will also play an important role in helping prevent the spread of illness. Like our Cast, all Members and guests will be asked to wear face coverings in public resort areas when not eating or drinking and to respect physical distancing.”
I was expecting to wear masks in the parks during our November trip. But having to wear them every moment you are out of the room seems too much for me personally. Unfortunately I am booked on some borrowed points and may not have the option to reschedule. Not trying to make this a debate about masks and whether Disney can require people to wear a mask. Of course they can. It is their private property. Just wondered if everyone knew that they would be expected to wear them at the resorts too.

Bingo. While I'm fine with the rule, I don't think they're going to enforce it past the gates. They don't even enforce all of the rules they already have.
I listened in to the livestream of their proposal to Orange County. Disney said they will deploy their "Social Distancing Squad" members, and provide training to cast members to positively encourage guests to follow safety protocols.
They also mentioned having some relaxed zones outside the parks where masks would not be necessary.
Its not selfish at all. I'm not telling anybody else what to do. I just merely stated an opinion that this mask mandate will affect WDW is a very negative way. You see it here on these boards - I'm seeing post after post of people who had reservations or were thinking of going that are not going largely because of the mask issue. Whether they have problems wearing one in the heat, or having to worry about their kids wearing it, etc. In the end, its no longer a vacation. I shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that when I'm paying thousands of dollars to go on vacation. My daughter is 6 and a lover of all things Disney, and a trip to WDW would be the ultimate for her....and I wouldn't even be able to see her smile. Maybe that wouldn't bother you, but as a dad, that would bother me terribly. That's not me being "selfish".
I have made my choice, I'm not going. And that's okay. And maybe you're right and plenty of people will go. But I'm very, very skeptical of that.
It will deter some people who don’t like it . People need to realize Disney is requiring masks to protect GUESTS AND CAST MEMBERS! It is selfish of people to think they don’t need one and the workers should wear one.
I assume that would be the smoking sections, where you can get COVID and Cancer at the same time.They also mentioned having some relaxed zones outside the parks where masks would not be necessary.
I understand why mask requirements are in place. I’m a health care researcher my wife is a provider and has been treating covid patients throughout this whole thing.
That being said we aren’t going to Disney or anywhere else non-essential where huge crowds gather and these precautions are necessary. It just doesn’t sound fun.
We were planning a trip next year but have already decided to scrap it. I suspect things will be largely back to normal by summer ‘21 but I don’t even want to make plans while things are so uncertain.
Meanwhile we will go to the beach (uncrowded locations) or mountains where we can rent a place a not mingle with too many other people as much as possible.
I"m ok with wearing the mask, and yes i wear one all day....I'm a nurse. I'm used to it. my only hope is we don't have to wear one around the pool area when sitting in your chair. the cdc says you do not need one in a pool, and actually no one should swim with one, i'm wondering if they'll have a distancing process around the pool, and hopefully wont need a mask there....I'm expecting everywhere else.To the people who are ok with wearing a mask their whole vacations, do they wear mask now at work/home all day? I'm just asking. I wear one indoors 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and hate it. I have pretty much decided not to go anywhere a mask is required unless I absolutely need to (groceries, but I've tried to do pick up). I could only imagine wearing one in Florida heat for 10 hours, sweating. A mask wet from sweat. Again, just asking, out of curiosity.
I do have a reservation for September (rescheduled from April). I'll wait it out until 30 days before to see what's changed from now until then. if I don't go I'll wait until 2022
good info about the pool....thanks! I'm hoping the pools will be open since the cdc has okd opening of swim clubs etc.OK, right here....

Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming.
OK, so according to this, there would be no masks in the pools... but would the pools be even open?
Because this year we're doing a resorts-only trip (CL + BWI split stay lat July) we place much more emphasis on being in the pool and the CL buffet food.
And how would they do any kind of buffet dining like in CL lounges or places like Chef Mickey or Boma or Cape May?
