Disney is hoping to remove mask and social distancing protocols in 2022. These comments come from today’s Disney Investor Call, where CEO Bob Chapek talked about the current state of every branch of their business. Reporters on the call really wanted to know if the executives saw an end to the current coronavirus situation that has changed how Disney Parks function. For the time being, hand sanitizing stations, masks, and the social distancing cues will all be around for the duration of 2021. With the vaccine still being produced and distributed, maybe the prognosis is a little better deeper into the year. But, as Chapek says, it would be hard to anticipate what the concrete cutoff for those safety protocols would be. However, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, and the Disney fans can only hope that things get closer to normal as quickly as possible.
