COVID State of Emergency - Lifted for Orange County?

[Matthew Caito]

With the state of emergency being lifted for orange county at the end of the day today do we think that will change anything for Disney? for example: Formally going back to 100% capacity and justifying bringing back more cast members and opening everything fully to allow for more normal pre covid times. Maybe the dining plan can formally come back? maybe indoor mandate goes away as well?

Probably no change for now

I’m hearing masks optional indoors very soon. Latest by Monday, probably sooner.

Hope so. I think more stuff opening is more related to staffing.

I wonder if Osceola County will do the same

Florida currently has the lowest per capita Covid rate in the nation, if not now, when?

Where did you find that statistic? The one I found shows only 6 states with higher per capita. (keeping my fingers crossed that you are right and I am wrong)

Not sure where you're getting your data but that's quite incorrect.

I have no dog in the fight but looks pretty legitimate.

Finally Demmings stopped dragging his feet with this. Hopefully Disney makes the change quick.

My vote is announced by Friday starts Monday. They announced the reinstating of the indoor masks within hours of the SOE being reinstated for Orange County . Disney follows Orange County more than the CDC.

Great news! Hope Disney drops the mask mandate for interior. I don't mind wearing them but will be happy to see that gone for the parks. Disney will make the right decision.

From the NY Times link I posted. 9 cases per day per 100,000, tied with Hawaii for the lowest of any of the 50 states.

Not with the holidays coming.
We (Orlando) have finally got the rate down . We don't need a surge again.

It’s gonna be dropped and dropped soon .

Hopefully masks are dropped soon and they stay gone for our January trip!!

 

[Weedy]

Another just a FYI
Also Disney waited until Orange County was at Medium Risk. We are still at High Risk.
Hopefully this will happen in the next week or so.

We had the hardest time finding masks for my youngest last trip. Tried a few Targets but they were sold out of the disposable ones we usually use. Searching Disney Springs and the resorts, out of the 7 gift shops we checked, 5 no longer carried Disney reusable masks, 1 had only size small in 1 style, and another had small and medium in 1 style each. It seems if they intend for the mandate to continue, they would restock their mask supply. Hope it is okay to post this and this isn't dwelling on a controversial topic, but it was just frustrating to have so much trouble trying to find a well-fitting mask nearby.

I'll be keeping my parachute on until we've landed, thanks.
