Gotcha, but if they change it due to the CDC saying vaccinate peeps don't need masks... Well if your kid is 10 we know it isn't vaccinated.

I wouldn’t care about the masks if I didnt order custom masks that match our designated theme park shirts at $10 a mask. But we’ll take pics with em on at least, for funOutdoor masks can be gone by tomorrow for all I care, but would love by Memorial Day (our trip is after). I don't care if the extra masks I bought go to waste or not

Not sure anyone wants to deal with the potential side effects while on vacation.

What makes Disney more revenue: The amount of people coming to WDW if masks are lifted or the amount of people that come while masks are mandated?
I think the answer to this is what will have alot of weight on the decision to removing mask mandates sooner vs later

What’s interesting is how different these mandates were from state to state— under 10 in Arkansas never had to wear a mask. I’m ready for no more masks for anyone while outside. I think we can all agree that is a logical step and quite safe really. I’m fine wearing them indoors anywhere that requires me to do so.

I meant “for the 50th”...that was kinda a sham to drive prices from the start...it’s been talked about in these circles for at least 5 years...and the “reward” was gonna be long overdue, slow built rides and some new sparkles on the castles.
they just don’t know how to throw a party anymore...but they do know how to put bait in the trap.

Wow, you go all out! Our masks are disposable types. Some left over from our Frozen production at school.
I could see this easily happening.
I do like mine in the winter..... my kid said today he hopes they'll be gone in school next hear though.
Agreed. My kid will have about 85% immunity before we go. So I'm less worried about him now. But outdoors was never an issue for us.I just don’t see this as too complicated. Disney should drop the mask mandate outside for EVERYONE, and they can “encourage” it for unvaccinated. Many professionals in the field have already stated how very LOW the risk of spread is outdoors. Then, Disney can hold on to the indoor mask requirements for a bit longer. It’s time for masks to be a choice especially outside. My two kids, 8 and 11, won’t be vaccinated, but my mom and I are fully vaccinated. I feel plenty comfortable with them being unmasked outside even around those who may not be vaccinated and unmasked.
Now you do. After my friend died the vaccinated adults (me included) did not mask for a tiny private luncheon. My child masked when not eating. He also did outdoors when I did not doing a socially distant gathering. My kid understands I am fully vaccinated and he is not.
I'm fine with planning and a medium amount of bureaucracy to ensure checks and balances. I do think, however, that this reaction to the CDC announcement could have been planned for in advance as it was inevitable. (I'm assuming per previous posters that this will take Disney weeks to implement)
For example, the weeks of meetings and creations of new signs could have been done weeks ago and when the go-ahead was received, then it would be as simple as updating all the physical signs.
I do think that this will be expedited as Disney wants the increased attendance and money badly right now. Win/win for everyone.

I think one key thing to factor in is that some people are at the parks right now with the expectation that masks were going to be required for their whole trip and they want it that way. These people will be very upset if the rule was changed mid-trip. I think Disney will give a little lead time before making changes.

I don’t think they’re in a rush. Their labor and lodging situation is “fluid”
so are ticket sales...
and I gotta ask: why would they want only the influx of people who are focusing on masks.
other than a certain sect of “hyper-hyperchondriacs”...we ALL hate the masks. But there’s an appeal to the psychology of those that follow the rules...or are willing to go “the extra effort” and accept Disney for what they offer now...
Or best case scenario: both.

It's obvious masks are going soon, but it's still interesting that it seems like they're going to lump everyone as "fully vaccinated" when this is our current data and we have the CDC still recommending masks for kids under 12.

Replace possible with reality and it's accurate. We've got some... people... in this country.
