Disney, you sonovabitch. Make masks mandatory or close down.

Disney does make masks mandatory. Sometimes 'guests' take their masks off, especially in rides where a photo is taken, so their face will be in the photo. One trick they tried to prevent this is to not allow any sales of the ride photos if someone isn't wearing a mask in the photo.

The problem is that people in a different row than the offender won't be able to get a photo either.

So they tried another trick of digitally adding a mask onto the offender's face.

They probably should just escort these people out of the park, but this is sometimes easier said than done.

Then Disney should no longer make such photos available at all and forego the money it makes from them so that people will keep their masks on.
