IHME coronavirus models have Florida heading into a surge
IHME coronavirus models have Florida heading into a surge
Bob said on the earnings call he expects social distancing and masks to be required in the parks into 2022. Said it’s possible things could change, but that’s how they see it right now.
Chapek just said some form of masks and social distancing through the rest of this year
But....hoping it won't be needed by 2022
I think it’ll be gradual. No masks outside but still indoors. Things like that.

IHME coronavirus models have Florida heading into a surge
IMHE has been comically off the whole time. Why anyone would care about their projections is beyond me.Looks to me like the whole country is. Keep your hateful fear-mongering away from my adopted home state.

This whole thread has become a Florida bashing fest, especially from people who live in areas with severe restrictions.
I came to this board to talk about my love for Disney. Unfortunately it has become a big downer.
Well I think that's just common sense knowing that people are going to travel for spring/Easter break. There will likely be a surge that follows that.
I live in Louisiana. I was in WDW in September, October, November and December. September was HOT and at that time you could still drink while in line-thankfully. It was a learning experience figuring out which masks were the most comfortable for me. MOST were following the mask and social distancing rules and at that time -Sept./Oct. lines were not too bad at all. In Nov./Dec., it was much more crowded and people were not allowed to eat/drink in lines.
We also visited Universal in December. Before and after each ride, the the workers were encouraging hand sanitizer. At Disney, the sanitizer is available but at Universal someone was actually standing there to dispense it.
We flew in and the airplanes were PACKED! So much so that we decided to upgrade on the way back to FC.
I am writing all this to say that it does not have to be a "surge". If people would just do their part (sanitize, wash their hands, wear mask, social distance) the we can all have a good vacation without getting sick or making someone else sick. I had my second dose of Moderna on Tuesday. But, I will of course still wear my mask to protect others.
A surge in cases does not have to happen. Follow the rules of wherever you visit.
I will be back @ WDW in less than a month. I have no concerns for myself because I will follow the rules and I hope that other vacationers do the same. Will they all be respectful and follow the markers, wear their masks properly ? No. But there is no cure for "that".
I posted his full quote in an earlier comment. Take a read through. He wasn’t very clear. And to be fair it was in response to a question, it wasn’t a prepared remark.So which one is it? lol. Or did he say both - that he expects them to be needed, but hoping they wont?
I know last year the cheerleading competitions and such that were staying at Disney were all cancelled
I saw a Facebook post that said a huge group is scheduled to be there the last week of April for a competition. Can anyone confirm?
As of now Worlds, Summit, and D2 Summit are all still on, which are all back to back at the end of April and beginning of May. I believe UCA college nationals is scheduled around that time as well. It could all change though.I know last year the cheerleading competitions and such that were staying at Disney were all cancelled

In the back of my mind for some time I have thought that shifting to the WHO physical distancing recommendation of one meter (~39 inches, rather than the 72" of US 6 foot policy) would be a nice middle ground for keeping up social distancing if/after numbers and vaccines rates improve.Also, I would like to clarify it was a little unclear on the call. He said he expects masks and social distancing to be in place for the rest of the year. But then he also said he doesn’t expect them to be in place in 2022. So there’s some disconnect there. It was also never made clear whether that meant calendar year or fiscal year since Disney’s fiscal year ends on September 30.
Below is the full quote.
“We have no doubt, and when we reopen up in parks that were closed, or increase the capacity, that we’ll have some level of social distancing and mask-wearing for the remainder of this year. That’s our expectation. But, I believe that Dr. Fauci said earlier today that he hopes that there is vaccines for everyone who wants them by April this year. If that happens, that is a game-changer.
And that could accelerate our expectations, and give people the confidence that they need to come back to the parks. Will there be overlap until we know that we have herd immunity? Sure there will. But do we believe we’ll be in the same state of 6 foot social distance and mask wearing in 22? Absolutely not.”
