i suspect masks on transportation will be removed shortly down the road as well... once they see how removing masks elsewhere works

So, fully vaxxed is two shots, "up to date" is three.No, the CDC has not changed the definition of "fully vaccinated." They still define it as having received the primary series of vaccinations. They have added a new term, "up to date," which means you have also received any appropriate boosters.
COVID-19 Vaccination
COVID-19 vaccines protect against COVID-19. Get safety info and more.www.cdc.gov
They aren’t quite going with CDC guidelines by jumping in 2-4 weeks earlier then my prediction but given the trajectory nationwide and in those states I don’t really have a problem with this. What will be mildly interesting is if California has a mini bump because people had been following rules, and Omicron is 2x more prevalent there then Florida and the country at large (which isn’t really following the rules thus I expect no change in numbers.
I think this will be the status quo through summer, who knows what happens come fall (ie will a new varient arise)

Well, that's vague as hell.

I wonder if they’ll have paper face masks available at transportation. There will be an increase in people ”forgetting” a mask.

They already do (I believe). At least they did, they do charge for paper masks at the park tho If you “forget” or actually forget.

I had a friend who did that for an elective surgery this past summer when cases were low. For 2 weeks she masked and requested outdoor meals when getting together. I respect not wanting to risk something. My own kid can remove masks end of month 2 weeks before our trip. He asked to still wear as he doesn't want to risk testing positive for the trip (he has never tested positive for covid which is insane considering his activities). Whatever you want kid.... really and truly. He's 14 so not a dummy and tbh with other yuck going around still maybe not the worst idea?
I'll never judge someone who wants to wear. I have friends who said outdoors they helped in allergy season. Do whatever you want.
We still have them here for a short while and the federal mandate means buses here as well as at Disney so we'll still have to figure out best for our next trip. I could drive to Epcot from Polynesian but the monorail.... but masks... we'll see what we do. Plane ride will require too.

This is what is on my mind and what might make me drive to all parks outside of MK (we can ferry or boat there). We travel so light - truly sometimes cell phone only - so a mask does add to complexities especially with women's pockets. If they offered it would be nice.

I think Hawaii is the only place that is requiring boosters in addition to the two P/M or 1 JJ.

Interestingly enough, during our stay in December, we took the boat from Wilderness Lodge to Magic Kingdom. The CM who told us masks were required on the boat didn't wear his the entire time even though he was reminding guests to wear them as they boarded the boat. I'm not sure if he just forgot to put his on or thought nobody would notice.

I just find it odd they made this announcement yesterday instead of today. I was at the park yesterday prior to the announcement and today I’m at AK right now and I can tell you compliance and enforcement have dropped. I’m posting this more because I just witnessed a guest arguing with a CM @ FOP.

Not odd to me they give some warning. Sad that people fight others over it.
My advice to any CMs working today, just be Elsa.

I’m sure that’s how CMs feel but leadership probably still wants it enforced today. Slippery slope
It sucks wish the CM’s didn’t have to deal with it but the good news is it all ends tomorrow.
Many of the CM’s themselves have to be fed up with wearing masks personally and finally get to be free from mandates.
Just one more day.

Hawaii does not require a booster.

I knew that would happen. As most people know, I am very pro-mask, but even I knew the announcement would cause issues today.
"I have to wear one today, but not tomorrow? How does that make any sense?"
I don't disagree. It should have been effective today.
