I don't know how rumors work from other Disney forums but a "insider" had the following statement :
"The company’s hope moving forward (until the pandemic is declared “over”) is distancing outdoors (but no masks) and masks plus 3 feet of distancing indoors, once the CDC makes that change official, which they will. Such a change allows much greater use of indoor queues and the substantial return of entertainment (I have heard everything EXCEPT parades, actually). "
I think this is a perfect mix of safety and normalcy with the % of vaccinated people and the pace of continuing vaccinations.
I've heard similar as well. As I mentioned in the other thread, Disney will keep masks in some capacity as long as it will help them increase capacity while mitigating risk. By following the CDC guidelines they have done just that. They're really pushing to increase capacity this summer.I don't know how rumors work from other Disney forums but a "insider" had the following statement :

YES. I think we are a month or 2 from mask being voluntary. The allowing of pics without masks is paving the way for this - it will be hard to enforce this and I think Disney knows this - and thus, I think the announcement of voluntary mask will be coming soon. Social distancing rules of 3 feet are coming/here - People will abide by these for the most part and the Plexi will remain for some time.This is good news. My hope is that when we're there at the end of May and early June that you won't have wear them just walking outside of the parks (e.g., from the International Gateway to your hotel or HS, especially if you can socially distance). Anyone think there is any chance of that happening?
I think the "insider" info is right on the money. Disney wants to return to normalcy as soon as possible - they will take as close to normal, ASAP. This allows for safety and a better guest experience.I don't know how rumors work from other Disney forums but a "insider" had the following statement :

Agree - I think July is the mark at which we see mask non-mandatory for outdoors. Disney may take July 4th to be their go to date for such an announcement - doing so will drive tons of bookings!Masks required during indoor areas seems like it will be much easier for them to enforce. I'm betting we are in that scenario by July. Potentially completely gone by the fall.
