Interesting... We’ve been to WDW in Aug and a lot in Oct. In oct we’ve come across some overzealous CMs — telling us that we need to put our masks back on bc we weren’t actively eating or drinking while we were 1) literally in between sips holding a bottle of water, and 2) sitting in an area by ourselves with NO ONE anywhere near us except the CM reprimanding. Makes me wonder: is there now an acceptable between-sip time limit? A tad much.
We’ve also noticed the CM’s telling other guests to have their masks fully cover their nose etc are often less polite and quite a bit more pointed than they were in Aug.
While I’m sympathetic to how tough their jobs have to be, it’s a tad much in some cases now, IMO - feeling more un-Disney to get snippy in the ways I’ve seen. I wonder if some CMs getting used to the reprimanding and leaning in a bit too much, frankly.
Reading study after study since the start of this pandemic, with my scientific background, I don’t think this overzealous approach to masks OUTDOORS is warranted by the science (INDOORS is a different story). If Universal is not quite as overzealous as what I’ve seen recently in WDW, I’ll welcome it.
