I wasn't calling originally for that I was actually calling to add the parkhopper on but it was the CM that mentioned that she noticed I used my Disney visa for the deposit on both reservations and if I wanted to try to add the discount. The resorts being offered were limited. For the deluxe resorts it was Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Riviera and I think Saratoga springs.
I think the requirement will have to be lifted long before fall. When everyone at home (where wearing a mask outside is already not required) isn't wearing masks, Disney will have to remove the requirement because even less people than now will be willing to spend vacation dollars going somewhere where they're required when they aren't at home. Now I can see them keeping them as an option for anyone who wants to wear one (I think that was already the case though) and you will probably see more people than before wearing them, they won't be required once other states around the country don't require them.I was thinking, (and everyone said, "uh oh") but if Fauci is right and by April/May the vaccine will be available to low-risk people and children, I can see masks, while outside, going away sometime in the Fall.
I think indoor mask use will be the last to go, but outdoors I can see easing sooner. So perhaps while dining, shopping, indoor rides you'd need to put mask back on. But wandering the parks, no mask.
And I think that will lead to more bookings.
Scoff if you will, but I see public "demand" for easing of mask restrictions sky-rocketing once vaccinations really get going.
Desire perhaps, but economic conditions will need to improve as well for bookings to sky rocket.I was thinking, (and everyone said, "uh oh") but if Fauci is right and by April/May the vaccine will be available to low-risk people and children, I can see masks, while outside, going away sometime in the Fall.

not saying you’re wrong
Masks are for sure a hindrance but once that mandate is gone because a vaccine has dropped infection rates, wdw will still have a recession to deal with as far as demand is concerned. Sorry I live with a economist so I fear the long term economic issues will plague (no pun intended!) wdw a lot longer than the virus itself, especially at their current rates.

Count me in as one of those who will book almost immediately, as soon as the mask requirement goes away.
Agreed. Sooner rather than later WDW will have to take a leap of faith and start to bring a lot more of the entertainment and ambience back if they want to continue to charge pre-COVID prices. Disney has always been a luxury purchase in the best of times. When it's not the full experience it's hard to justify luxury prices, especially when so many have been impacted financially.not saying you’re wrong
I get it, I had a trip scheduled for 9/14/2001 which was rescheduled last minute given that I lived in the D.C. area where airports were closed. We were back in the parks by May though, and there is no comparison between the cutbacks of today versus what transpired then. I 100% think that people will accept that new attractions and whatnot will be delayed, but I really don't think that people will accept the status quo once safety is no longer an issue.
