Will You Wear a Face Mask to Visit Disney World?
If you thought that nothing stirs up unrest at family reunions better than talking about politics, sports, or religion, try face masks on for size.
Nothing seems to get theme park buffs on social media more worked up than debating on gated attractions requiring guests to wear a face covering during their visits as they gear up to reopen in the new normal. It's the policy that Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) rolled out when it opened Shanghai Disneyland two weeks ago, and it's one that rival Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is instituting at Universal Orlando when that resort reopens on June 5. Disney's CEO recently said it's "likely" that Disney World and Disneyland will also require face coverings to help contain the spread of COVID-19.
Shanghai Disneyland and Universal Orlando aren't just requiring that all guests wear masks to enter and remain in their parks. They are both performing temperature checks on the way in, flagging anyone running with a fever. Social distancing measures including floor markings are being implemented to keep parties reasonably apart from others. The parks are also working with lower capacity ceilings to keep crowds in check.
