Disney World Bans Eating and Drinking While Walking to Promote Wearing Masks
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jul 2020 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Disney World has closed a mask loophole, banning park visitors from eating and drinking while they walk as a means to encourage attendees to wear masks.

“Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members,” reads Disney World’s official policy. “Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming.”

The policy only allows eating and drinking as long as guests remove their masks while standing still and socially distant from others. “You may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking, but you should be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing,” the policy reads.

Previously, the theme park’s visitors were able to avoid wearing a mask by using the “eating and drinking” loophole.

“Mask rule update. Disney has updated face covering guidelines to say that guests may only remove masks when ACTIVELY eating and drinking, and must be stationary and physically distanced when doing so,” said writer Brooke McDonald in an Instagram post. “This means no more munching Mickey pretzels or sipping drinks as you stroll.”

“Guests are now being asked to find a safe spot six feet from other guests before removing their masks to eat and drink,” said a Disney cast member at EPCOT of the new rules, according to a report by Walt Disney World News Today.

The report added that guests who are caught not wearing a mask under the new rules will be asked to either put one on or leave, adding that visitors can take a break at what is called a “relaxation station” if they want to remove their mask. “Once inside these stations, guests may remove their face covering and have a socially-distanced sit-down,” reports Walt Disney World News Today.

Why would any decent American go to ANY Disney property?

Walt is spinning in his grave at about 3500 RPM, given the decadent path Disney has been on since he died!

A pox on their house for the Kulture Smog they have inflicted on us!

when the children are being raped, killed,
and eaten at Disney and the islands surrounding it,
do the pedophiles wear masks?

or are they free to do as they please? (obviously)

In the good old days:

You might get taken to the jailhouse and find
You’ve been arrested for driving while blind

Now, it’s walking and eating that’ll get you into trouble.

Definitely the healthy thing to do is to wear a mask outside in stinkin’ hot summer temperatures. </sarc>

"Disney cast members"

What a break into show business it would be to get the role playing a janitor at Disneyland.

I'm sure the next stop would be Broadway and then Hollywood!

I was happy to see that AG Barr included Disney in his rogues’ gallery of China colluders.

Agreed about Walt spinning in his grave. But don’t forget Roy, the business genius who translated his brother’s inspirations into profitable deals.

I’m sure Roy is spinning too.

And to think that Disney once represented the best in American popular culture ...

I’m a Disney shareholder due to the FOX acquisition. Not sure whether to sell or hold and try to be a thorn in their side.

Like I needed yet another reason not to go.

Congress, you’d better not plan on bailing out this kind of abject stupidity with a bailout...

Hard. Pass.

No way I’d spend thousands of dollars to be forced to wear a stupid cuck muzzle in the hot sun. Weeks and weeks of knuckle dragging rioters gathering by the thousands, and not a peep from the same “See You Next Tuesdays” that want to force me to wear a useless cuck muzzle. FU.

If you want to go around, outdoors, with a maxi pad on your face, go ahead, for all I care. Put on your beige pajamas, eat your banana-broccoli smoothies, and sing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer weiner” while you’re at it. I’m not playing that game. It’s gotten beyond bug-effing brain dead idiotic at this point.

Disney is a sick representation of China on American soil.

So make sure crowds of people are all in the same place with their masks off while they eat? Exactly how does that make any sense?

Anything that encourages less eating cannot be altogether bad. Did people really walk down the street sipping drinks and pretzels back in the good old days ?

Actually, my husband was eating a blueberry muffin at work while walking back to his desk. He started to choke and someone gave him the Heimlich maneuver.

He later told me while I was at work; there was a former nurse who was now the advertising manager. She said, “You should never eat while you’re walking. It’s a good way to choke.”

So, even though Disney’s intentions are different, they may save a life. Though we don’t hear (at least I haven’t heard) of any choking deaths at theme parks. But who knows.

How about chewing gum? Will people be allowed to walk and chew gum at the same time?

Walking and chewing gum still OK.
