Are they making any exceptions to mask rules? My developmentally delayed daughter will not keep a mask on.
no exceptions are being made. only place at WDW with no mask is while in the pool area. still need one to get to the pool. hate to say but this is not the time to visit with one like your daughter special needs or notAre they making any exceptions to mask rules? My developmentally delayed daughter will not keep a mask on.
She won’t wear one at all. She doesn’t understand.Could the trip be a way to encourage your daughter to get used to wearing a mask? An incentive, with time spent now getting used to wearing one? (hugs, as I know this is hard to do!)
Just be aware that she will need a mask in public areas of the resort as well. So getting to/from the room, restaurants or pool, etc. It is only allowed to be off in your room, within the pool gates, and when seated at a restaurant with food/drink.may do a resort stay at AKL. She can watch the animals from the balcony
Her school is still out due to Covid.Just be aware that she will need a mask in public areas of the resort as well. So getting to/from the room, restaurants or pool, etc. It is only allowed to be off in your room, within the pool gates, and when seated at a restaurant with food/drink.
Are her teachers/therapists working with her on mask use? Or has the school given an exception and they aren't even attempting to work on it? The schools here are allowing exceptions but continuing to work with the students who struggle with masks; I was surprised when my daughter reported that all the kids in her special ed classes are wearing masks because we had been forewarned that some kids may be wearing face shields and all students in the class would need to wear one. But at least in any of her classes they have managed to get the kids used to masks.
So sorry!Her school is still out due to Covid.

Then you cannot enter Disney. There are no exceptions or substitutions AllowedAre they making any exceptions to mask rules? My developmentally delayed daughter will not keep a mask on.
My daughter is 20 and not having it. We will have to be creative at home with Disney Magic.I teach 3 & 4 year olds. During the first week of school, I gave every student a Disney mask. I read books about mask wearing which basically taught children that if they wear masks, they are super heroes saving the world. Our social worker created social stories and works one-on-one with students struggling with wearing a mask. We use a lot of positive reinforcement to assist the children in complying with the rules of social distancing and mask wearing.
Ultimately, education begins at home. The children that practiced at home are more compliant with wearing masks, including our students with special needs.
a next step could be wearing a mask in the car until lunch timeThank you everyone for the input. Definitely a lot to adjust too. Right now we are taking rides to WDW and watching the monorails while we eat lunch in the car. It’s a start and she waves to Mickey when we leave.
I don’t understand why people keep trying to “help” the OP figure out how to get her daughter to wear a mask. She’s said, repeatedly, that her daughter will not wear one, she seems ok with waiting until the mask requirement is lifted, and she didn’t ask for help.
Continuing to offer “help” just comes across to me as believing that we know more about her own daughter than she does...kind of insulting, IMO.
