Is Disney World on the Path to No Masks?
Is Disney World on the path to ditching masks altogether? Several developments over the past few weeks show all signs pointing to “YES!” This latest news from Orange County, FL is just one more encouraging sign that Disney guests could soon be saying goodbye to face masks completely.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings mentioned today Orange County could reach Phase 3 of the reopening tier by THIS Friday as long as the 14-day rolling positivity rate stays 5% or less. If that happens, all Orange County pandemic mandates would be discontinued. https://t.co/BwxhAbmua4

Orange County Phase 3
On Wednesday, Orange County Mayor Dennings said that the county could reach Phase 3 of reopening by this Friday if COVID rates continued to trend downward. In order for this to happen, the rolling 14-day positivity rate would need to stay at 5% or less throughout the remainder of the week.
Back in April, Mayor Dennings announced a new three-phase plan for reopening the county. The third and final phase becomes effective when “70% of the population 16 and older has received their first dose of the vaccine and/or Orange County’s 14-day rolling positivity rate is 5% or below.” At that point, all mandates will be lifted.
