Mask Mandates Dropping For Disney Transportation?

It's a private company, they're not beholden to you.
They don't have to tell you anything.
If you have a problem with that, write them a nicely written email and expect a form reply, or buy enough shares and speak during a stockholder meeting.
It's not a mystery - you just have to think like a billion dollar corporation that has a brand and reputation to protect (obviously pre-culture-war).
If there's a chance, even miniscule, that Disney could be outed as the site of a massive super spreader, they will take as much action as possible to shift the responsibility onto the guests.
Beyond that, Disney is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE corporation who will be slow to act and react owing merely to its internal processes and bureaucracy.

yeah The Mouse drew its line in the sand some years back between "people with critical thinking skills" and "people who give us money" and I'll be fair as a shareholder they've held that line with great success
I hope they get rid of them - just to end these obnoxious threads.
If they do get rid of them quickly, the decision came from above and bypassed Disney's usual due diligence.

I'd be interested to see the actual rules cited which are interpreted to apply to Disney transportation. Why would Disney transportation fall under the mandate but hotel shuttles to the airport don't?
Just a pet peeve clarification, the NTSB doesn't enforce anything or make rules. They are tasked with investigating accidents and making recommendations. Another agency has to make rules based upon the NTSB recommendations.

Is that necessarily true? I mean, Disney knew that sooner or later, one way or the other, the mandate would end. So why couldn't they have done their due diligence before in order to be prepared to act quickly? Something like "if the mandate drops, and conditions x, y, and z are true, then we drop ours immediately"?

Exactly. Comcast is a huge corporation and they haven't required masks on universal transportation for quite some time.
Airlines are huge corporations and would suffer much more than Disney if they are seen as unsafe COVID spreaders and they all dropped masking pretty much instantly. My friend said there are videos of the policy being dropped mid flight today.

Except they didn't drop them immediately. So we're left wondering when....

I'm sure somebody could confirm y/n, but I can easily imagine some hoo-hah where Disney (on paper) runs its buses through Reedy Creek for some tax reasons thus they're part of a Municipal/County/Etc Transportation thus subject to Fed rules that private transportation from a private hotel to a private theme park would be diferent

How so? They are private transportation and if this was the case they would have had to continue doing so on the skyliner. They are not subject to federal guidelines in that way.

On the other mask thread it was determined that the busses are owned and operated by Disney and not Reedy Creek.
I have dealt with Disney long enough to know that when a decision is made quickly, it came from up top, and when a decision is slow and methodical, it was done by committee.
