While screening guests with one or more tests for the virus is likely going to be the main way Disney's international-travel destinations return to operating more normally, some redundant measures may also be desirable.
Walt Disney Imagineering, for instance, should design dispensers for hand sanitizer so that the off-the-shelf Purell hand-sanitizing stations the company procured, and quickly installed, before the closures can be removed.
Guests should also be able to find free disinfecting wipes in many locations and facial tissues in the restrooms.
All backstage crew members, including cooks in the kitchens, ought to be outfitted with masks and similar protective equipment.
The wardrobe for the cast members appearing on stage is a bigger challenge. The standardized mask these individuals might possibly wear would, preferably, be transparent so that the guests can see the faces with a minimum of obstruction. However, specific facial coverings that are designed for each costume would also be nice.
Big Thunder Mountain's prospectors, miners, and bandits might wear bandannas, for instance, while Adventureland's costumes could incorporate head scarves or hijab. And, Tomorrowland may add whole helmets and facial shields.
Giving the custodial department real costumes, such as the turn-of-the-19th-Century kind that used to be worn by the street sweepers on Main Street, U.S.A., would also be a good way to make the sanitation procedures an integral part of the show.
Lastly, I would give all guests complimentary masks in a variety of styles that are unobtrusive. Wearing them probably shouldn't be mandated, though, because they are just a redundant measure. However, they ought to be interesting enough, visually, for people to want to wear these items.
