hopefully it will be gone before my trip in 2022Universal Orlando brings back indoor face mask policy

The virus? Hopefully.
The latest virus is going to run through the population quickly. It spreads very fast and is very mild. The flu kills people every year, this year will not be different but the numbers are going down as far as death rate. Cases up but death rates flat.
Here some info. https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/12...ing-in-the-bay-area-but-not-hospitalizations/
They (news people) are playing up Omicron co -vid as some sort of deadly destroyer of countries but it is not. In fact it seems to be replacing the delta variant which is much more deadly but still relatively harmless. Sorry, death rates still under 1% for any co-vid variant which means it's not that deadly.

We're back to good ol' "Flatten the Curve" again.
The main concern of Omicron (and really much of the pandemic) has been to keep hospitals from getting overwhelmed so that those who DO get severely sick (and others who need urgent care for the usual reasons) can get the care they need.
Yes, Omicron may be milder, but there's always a certain percentage that will be severe. Say 1% of all infected people need hospitalization (number made up for ease of discussion). But if suddenly there are 3-4x more sick people, then 1% represents a significantly larger number of people. That's when hospitals get overwhelmed. Yes, the "death rate" and the "severe case rate" may stay flat, but we don't have the hospital capacity to deal with suddenly quadrupling the actual number of severe cases.
The best thing we, as a population, can do is whatever we can to lower overall case numbers so that those who do get severely sick have a hospital they can go to. And we know what those things are: get vaccinated/boostered, wear a mask, wash your hands, physical distancing.

I think that WDW always kept the masking on all indoor ques and rides it was only the outdoor ones that were lifted

We were down in September of 2020. We went to the Disney parks and it was well controlled. When we went over to Universal, I was scared. The park wasn't enforcing masks because people were walking around without them. It was like the wild west. I told the wife and kids that we weren't going back there until this virus ends in three months

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Sounds like they’re pretty optional for non-vaccinated guests too. “Encouraged”.

Well, there's no way to enforce that and any guest who is defiantly unvaccinated at this point is most likely not going to wear a mask either So, expect to see no masks indoors.
