We were second guessing whether booking our end of October trip was smart a month ago, now it looks perfectly timed. Hoping the trend continues.

Gonna be real interesting to see if Disney drops the indoor mask mandate when it does or if they decide to wait it out till the new year.
Personally I hope Disney keeps the indoor mask requirement until the US as a whole gets down to less than 5 cases per 100k. This pandemic still has a ways to go before it is over and since WDW is not solely dependent on locals but has customers from all over the US and soon to be around the world it is better to be cautious and not take too many chances. I wore a mask in September while indoors and even outdoors when we were too close to others. It is always better to be safe and protect yourself.
You have better chances to die from another disease than covid if you are vaccinated...

Nobody knows when those regulations will be lifted but NY/NJ will be among the last to remove them for public transportation IMHO

I hate masks (they are hot and my glasses are always fogging up) but we’ve been to DL with indoor masks several times now and I think it’s a good compromise, you can escape the discomfort while outside but it still provides added protection in indoor spaces where they have the biggest impact. Win/win.
Disney has always followed the CDC guidelines but I won’t be surprised if the indoor masks stick around even after the CDC thresholds are reached, I also won’t be surprised if they disappear the day the CDC guidelines say they are no longer needed.

The... lunacy... I can't. The man at the beginning is profiting off of endangering people. It's like a meth lab.
Arrest these people.
ETA: Oh god, I just got to the part with the doctor. (internal screaming and crying)
ETA #2:
Clearly the issues in Bolivia run deep, and bad actors are taking advantage of that. It's very sad to witness from afar.

You dont think our larger than average elderly cohort has anything to do with that? It makes logical sense. Older people are by far and away the largest group of deaths. Places with more elderly = more death (assuming all else is equal)

Wife's hospital if full up. 86% of covid beds are age 75+. Remaining are 60+
Only slightly more than half of hospitalizations are 60+ in FL.
You two should perhaps check some data before spouting off wild theories or relying on a sample of one person.
97% of people 65+ in FL have had at least one dose of a vaccine, which is why the elderly aren't dominating hospitalizations anymore.

Why is England doing worse against Covid than its European neighbours? | Christina Pagel and Martin McKee
Instead of relying on vaccines alone, countries such as France and Germany are using extra measures to keep cases and deaths low, say UCL’s Christina Pagel and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Martin McKee

The guidance the CDC laid out, "wear masks indoors in areas where the virus spread is high" leaves it open to local authorities to lay out the mask ordinances. "High" is defined by the CDC where the rolling positivity rate is over 10%. Orange Co has been below that for a week or two now. Yet masks remain.
If I had to guess, the masks at WDW will remain till Spring, and that's IF nothing else comes along and the cases shoot up again. I don't believe WDW wants to go back and forth with the masks, that's why I think they'll wait till Spring just to make sure. Once they drop them I want to think they want them gone for good.
The CDC guidance you cited is only appli able to those fully vaccinated. A lot of Disney's guests are too young. The honor system doesn't work. FL doesn't allow a business to require proof of vaccination.

What kind of a--h-- screams at school employees like this over having to pick up his kid due to being a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19??? People like this guy are doing everything in their power to extend this pandemic and they don't even realize it.

Florida is now at 18 and is the 4th best state. California is at 16 as end is the second lowest. Now, because of the size of California and Florida, I never expected either one to be the lowest but since they are both within striking distance of the number one state, Connecticut, is it actually possible that these 2 states could become number 1 and 2? That would be great news for both Disney and Universal.

Ehh. This is just one side of the story. Also. Not sure how this is news.What kind of a--h-- screams at school employees like this over having to pick up his kid due to being a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19???

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't make excuses for the dad behaving like a jerk, however, not knowing the situation, it's tough to pass judgement. Could be he cannot afford to stay home and watch his child while quarantining, could be a thousand other things that lead to him being cranky pants. who knows
