Finally they give some details. I just tried masks on my kids for the first time todayDisney springs.
appropriate Face Coverings: All guests 3 years of age and older, along with cast members and third-party operating-participant employees, will be required to wear an appropriate face covering while visiting Disney Springs. This is an important part of protecting both our guests and our cast. Please be sure you have an ample amount of face coverings for yourself and your party before you arrive, as you’ll need to wear them over your nose and mouth at all times (except when sitting at a dining table).
nvm - off topic and there are actual updates!
There has been no official word. The requirements about removing coffee makers etc, was in the task force recommendations.I missed this. Are stocked kitchens in DVC villas a no now? That stinks if so - we almost always stay in a 1 or 2 bedroom so we can cook and eat in the room.
They do have dishwashers, but the housekeepers would not be able to run every single item (large pots and pans, all the dishes, all the silverware, etc.) through every time a guest departs. The grand villas provide flatware, plates, bowls, etc. for 12 people.
When turning a room over for the next guest, housekeeping usually puts the dirty dishes through the dishwasher. They don’t clean every utensil, plate, cup, mug, pan, etc. from the cabinets that the guest has cleaned and put away themselves. They couldn’t possibly run that many loads.
Because you have no idea how the guest before you washed their items and touched them to put away, and housekeeping couldn’t possibly wash every single stocked kitchen item, I’m not sure what they will do. Having a stocked kitchen is a huge benefit for DVC and the many members who cook their own meals.
at Citywalk there was a TM stationed there with the bottle squirting the hand rail as it cameI didn't see anything mentioned about elevators being open for the parking garages. I imagine those handrails for the escalators will have CMs sanitizing like crazy.
I have seen reported that those things aren't sanitized between guests. They are washed, but not sanitized.
We stay at a beach hotel every year with a kitchen and they have had that sign posted for 30 years. I always go in there first day and wash the entire kitchen. Not so much fun, but I stay there a month.
I'm fairly confident the coffee pots are not.
I can see the replacing the cups/glassware with the disposable type. I am not sure what they are going to do about the coffee makers. The guidelines for hotels does call for removing them. I need my morning coffee, so if they remove them, I will have to buy a small one to bring (our Ninja coffeemaker is too big to transport).
By washed, I am assuming these cups and glasses are put through a commercial dishwasher just like every utensil/place setting/glass/etc used by guests at a restaurant. If not......GROSS!!!
If a guest is that concerned about the coffee pot, can't they just wash it or use their own saniwipes?
We do the same when staying in a vacation condo. Youngest DD has severe allergies so I have to wash everything before we can use them...lol
The kind of mask you wear makes a huge difference, I mean, night and day! A lot of these homemade masks are really thick and make breathing hard, I have one from my sister that is a good mask all things considered, but it gets uncomfortable to wear longer than a short shopping trip, and would be too hot to wear outside in the heat. I have non-surgical disposable masks that are far more comfortable and easy to breathe, and I plan to use them in the mornings at the park and put them in a bag I will take to dispose of them that is sealed (well, a ziploc bag). Today I got some brand new masks from Jaanuu (my favorite scrub company) that has a breathable mesh fabric on the side that touches your face, and the outside is a moisture wicking scrub material that is treated with an antimicrobial. That thing is a game changer, air moves well when you breathe, and for once I didn't feel like I was suffocating or giving myself a steamed breath facial. It was already near 80 and humid outside so I went out and moved around in the sun with it on, and I could 100% wear it for long periods of time, and will be ordering more for myself. They are a nicer mask so I plan on wearing them more in the afternoon/evening when we have ADRs (as long as those are still a go), but I could honestly wear them for most of the day no problem. Masks are most definitely not created equal. Also, as someone who has worked in an insurance company.....they don't care.I watched alot of universal City walk videos. Everyone said wearing a mask in 80 degree humid weather on all that pavement was tough. Every review said the masks were hard to wear because of the humidity and pavement.
They are not hard to wear for 30 minutes at air conditioned target or for short durations but 2 hours is totally different than 30 mins the heat and air sweat builds up. I have serious doubts 100 degree weather masks are workable. I am sure insurance companies would not let Disney open without masks in parks. People are too close , markings are not enforceable . Hard to see kids wearing masks in that heat. I have serious doubt masks can work in a park in a shipping district sure seems to work just fine although uncomfortable.
I was going to say, escalator railings are pretty easy to clean, no moving required! Just spray on to a cleaning rag or on to the railing itself, apply rag to rail, stand there.at Citywalk there was a TM stationed there with the bottle squirting the hand rail as it came
The elevators need to be open for the use of people with strollers or wheelchairs
I think people should remember that what happens in DS may not happen in the parks.
well they haven't hired anyone new for the new "position" this could be going to CM that were already there handing out maps.Ah, finally we have a line in the sand. Now the part I have been looking forward to. How big is the anti-mask boycott contingent? Temperature checks are just for optics as anybody can pop a fever suppressor and go shopping, but the mask thing may move the needle on revenue. I feel bad for the third party stores paying big DS rents that may be collateral damage in reaction to this. Thankfully the county gave Disney some cover by requiring masks anyway, for now. That one part about extra CM was another interest of mine. Overall, how much in additional costs will Disney have to incur to open parks with the safety measures. If you are opening at 125% of pre-covid costs and only getting 50% of the pre-covid revenue, it is probably cheaper to stay closed...but, there is much value to opening even at a loss. Fascinating for a business nerd!
