The news of Florida expanding their vaccination ages to 18 and up is a huge deal for Walt Disney World and their Cast Members. Recently, Cast Member unions were petitioning the state to allow those in the hospitality industry who work close with tourists to allow them to receive priority to vaccinations. With this news announced today, they soon will be able to.
Just recently, Disney also said the speed which vaccinations were being distributed would dictate the speed that things would get back to normal at Walt Disney World. With all Cast Members being eligible for the vaccine as well as good portion of American eligible for the vaccine or even already fully vaccinated, things are looking better and better for our beloved fireworks and parades to be make their triumphant return!
Many people ask me when things will be back to normal at Walt Disney World. My two pieces of advice are to watch the speed of vaccines and to know that Disney wants things to be as normal and safe as possible in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary to kick off on October 1, 2021. Looks like we are definitely heading in that direction now!
