    Yep. I was there all last week. Most of the time, the PA announcement is from the familiar announcer you hear on buses. However, from time to time, I would hear the recording of a British woman making the same announcement. And don't think you won't hear it in Galaxy's Edge or Pandora to preserve theming. Nope. Announcements are park-wide.

    Yep these have a bit out for a couple of weeks now. They have definitely had to make it clear that it isn't optional.

    I visited Animal Kingdom yesterday and noticed new signage and announcements stating that guests who do not follow the mask rules will be asked to leave. I did notice more cast members firmly asking guests to stop while eating, make sure their masks were covering their noses, or put their masks back on while taking photos. I spoke to a few cast members and every single one said they just want things to return to normal as quickly as possible and these rules are the only way. I witnessed a couple of cast get ignored by guests when enforcing the rules. Those cast members contacted their supervisors to give descriptions of those guests not complying. I can't remember ever seeing the company take a firm stand like this before.

    I'm just kidding. It's all lies. I just wanted to switch the topic for a while.

    Ok, so a guy wore a mask with some wording on it. He Wore A Mask properly! No one care's what was written on it.

    You were about to report someone wearing a mask correctly?

    Easier to fire third party for a poor job.

    LilofanOct 17, 2020

    If third party crews get hurt on the job, Disney doesn't have to pick up their medical / injury costs. That could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more depending on the severity of the injury.

    I saw a guy in Magic Kingdom recently with a custom made mask that says "WORN BY FORCE, NOT BY CHOICE." I kinda felt that he was trouble already. I'm was about to report it to a CM but decided to let it go since he's not doing anything wrong anyways. It's just a silent protest. I saw him two times after that while walking in Fantasyland and the other while in the queue at Big Thunder. In all fairness to him, he was wearing the mask and wearing it correctly at both times.

    You’re hilarious, Oswald Cobblepot 🙄

    Do not have to pay bennies as JohnD said and shifts liability to the third party if they are installed improperly

    JohnDOct 16, 2020

    Part time, no more than 29 hours. Don't have to pay benefits unlike full time CMs. Hourly rate is also probably less than for full time CMs also.

    How is this cheaper than having on staff maintenance crews perform the work?

    That baby carriage is not allowed in WDW!!
