Nope, I'm not shaming. I'm vaccinated and I've been to the parks, I just think they did knee jerk the normalcy a little too quick.

If indoors I can maybe see that (not that I agree with that at those age ranges, but irrelevant to the point).
Outdoors which the bulk of where people are when visiting a theme park? Not really.

I never said anything about outdoors.
So let’s make this simple.
Chapek only cares about money and I promise he had the bean counters running every single scenario possible thru Mickeys magical computer.
The result is clear.
They determined they make more money without mitigations than with them.
That means if you think Disney should be operating with mitigation’s in place you are in the minority of guests.
Doesn’t mean you are right or wrong. It is what it is.
If Disney announces a return to mitigation’s they will face revenue loss, having to lay off employees, and a massive hit to the stock price.
It’s just not going to happen unless this virus finds its way past the vaccine.

Wearing masks and social distancing protect peoples lives. Vaccines are not 100% effective against protecting against transmission, symptomatic disease, severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths.
So might not wearing a mask and follow some form of social distancing until more of your population receive both doses there is a greater chance you could affect someone and either they get long covid or could be hospitalised.

I agree with you on the overall point you're trying to make, but remember there's a large portion of the country vulnerable right now because they can't get vaccinated, children like my 8-year-old. Whose school district by the way has mandated there will be no virtual options at all this year and no mask requirements either

There's a big difference of what they have now vs what they had July 2020, and there's also a lot of options in between. It's not all or nothing, and you can add some mitigations without really messing with layoffs and stock prices.
I'm not for or against any changes right now, but I do think they have options if they needed to pull back slightly due to a rise of delta.

Good points.
Disney was and is never making any decisions regarding the parks from any other perspective other than $
Got it, so some people can live under a bridge when they lose their jobs protecting the anti vax crowd in this country, who could care less about anyone.
What can they do? Just bringing back indoor masks would be enough to cause massive cancellations.

Disney wouldn’t be laying anyone off if they kept indoor masks and some distancing right now. They would still be in deep deep... snow (there’s a DCA reference... anyone!?) regarding the workforce.
Fair enough but this is about how covid relates to Disney world. No one is making you take your 8 year old to see the mouse.I agree with you on the overall point you're trying to make, but remember there's a large portion of the country vulnerable right now because they can't get vaccinated, children like my 8-year-old.

Says who?
Well that’s good news it would just be a massive loss of visitors then.

Funny thing about data. It is likely that in June when I got moderate covid here in central Florida I might have been counted as unvaccinated even though I was fully vaccinated by the end of September 2020.
when you go online to get a covid test appointment with CVS it asks you if you had been vaccinated in the last 9 months. I answered yes, but it did not like my answer to when I got vaccinated. So I had to switch to not vaccinated in order to get appointment for test. Of course that bug would not effect many people.
But it does make me wonder how they determine who was vaccinated and who was not.

After reading some articles today where infection rates are going up and myself working at a hospital where the general consensus is, that we may be heading towards more restricted measures like what happened last fall. I just knew this was going to happen as there was too many unvaccinated people in this country who don’t care about anyone else or what rights and privileges are restricted due to their stupidity and selfishness.
I took the vaccination at the end of December and the middle of January for the second shot. I believe and trust in the science and I just wish we could get everyone on board and get them vaccinated. I have a strong feeling that on my October trip, Walt Disney World will be implementing more restrictive measures and they’re probably saying to themselves, they might have moved too soon in removing some of them as of now. You can thank the unvaccinated and the stupid conspiracy believers who still think COVID-19 is a joke, for the return of masks everywhere and more restrictive measures.
I was hoping for the best, but I now really believe that we’re going to get swamped with COVID-19 variants in the areas where Vaccinations are the lowest and looked upon as a government conspiracy. We as a country really won’t see the end of this for quite a while. it’s a damn shame, it really is.

Good to see science working! Better data in leads to changes and better info out. You or I or anyone else did not know exactly how much could be transmit outside up until about 6-8 months ago. They had a idea but science needed more data and they got it and confirmed it so information was then released on the new data. Good thing we don’t go by “ideas” about something as serious as this and continue to do more testing.
Says the people who determined that removing those restrictions was more profitable in the first place.

The few people who would cancel would be balanced with the few people who would book because of.
If anything Disney has proved that people will come and pay no matter what. People were paying to enter DCA with no rides and no shows!! I’m sure that only encouraged Chapek.
