I just clicked on that link and read the fine print. As expected, it
included "Please choose costumes that are not obstructive, offensive,
or violent."

But here's an odd one: "Guests' eyes must be visible at all times."

Go figure...

It just pretty much means you can't have a mask or hood or something that
covers your entire face. Pretty much same as last year, as I recall.

But what's the reasoning behind it? I could understand, perhaps, if
they wanted people to wear half-masks only (such as Batman's or even
the Lone Ranger's) which leave the lower half of the face exposed.
That might allow for some measure of facial identification. But if
the entire face is covered by a mask, is it even possible to cover the
eyes? You need eye-holes just to see where you are going... And even
if it _was_ possible to cover the eyes, still, what difference would
it really make? It seems an odd rule...

!00% safety issue, unobstructed vision is the key.

I am guessing that Disneyland et al. would have no liability insurance coverage should injury result from a guest misstep due to preventable obstructed vision.

They will turn away Darth Vader mask wearers regardless of notice, and notice is posted as a courtesy.

But I don't envision them replying to "But I didn't see it!" with "Yeah, buddy, you don't see a lot of things" even though they may be thinking it.

Last year, I saw Alice from Wonderland and a cat pair of very sexy girl costume wearers turned away walking back to their car. The view of garter and panties was very attractive, but as I lifted my camera, my wife scowled me down, but I tried to explain to her that I would post it as an example of an unacceptable costume, unsuccessfully.

yeah, and you will also get turned away if you look too close to a Disney
charactor too. last year I saw 3 guys dressed as Snow, Aurora and Cindy
get turned away. as soon as they left everyone started laughing....

That makes sense. (Although one would think that no one would be dumb
enough to wear a mask that blinds them...)

How DO those DV masks work? People have to see out of them somehow,
or they wouldn't be able to navigate... If they are sunglass-like
shaded lenses, then that shouldn't be a problem in the daytime hours
(no more so than normal sunglasses), but could be a liability after
dark...
