Disney says face masks now optional for vaccinated at theme parks
Source: CBS News
Walt Disney Co. is ditching its mask requirement for fully vaccinated visitors at its Florida and California theme parks, starting Thursday. The shift comes as COVID-19 cases decline in many parts of the country and as major employers including Amazon, Tyson Foods and Walmart drop face-covering mandates for vaccinated workers.
Disney cited "recent trends and regulatory guidance" in easing its pandemic-related rules. Disney does not require proof of vaccination to get into its parks.
"We expect guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters," the company stated on its Disney World website. Disneyland in California announced similar steps, in line with new California guidance that had the state lifting its mask requirement for the fully vaccinated inside businesses as of Wednesday.
People will still need to wear masks on shuttles, buses and other forms of "enclosed" transportation at the parks, Disney's update stated.

I'm glad they were there before the rules were relaxed. I would have been a basket case if they weren't.
Whay does everyone think this pandemic is over? 
Winter isn't over yet, and we could be in for another big spike before it is.
