That said, when I went with my daughter almost every person I spoke to said they were travelling from California, were season ticket holders and were coming to Disney World because Disneyland is closed down. Unintended consequence for sure. We already had COVID in March so felt the risks were acceptable for us, and as you've said Disney was extremely serious about mask requirements, and so many of the things little kids would be interested in were closed down. They really don't want a super spreader event at "The Happiest Place on Earth". And to preempt people who think I'm acting irresponsibly, you're right. It was a spur of the moment trip and sort of a mental health crisis, I felt trapped and crazy in my home in the middle of winter, if I could go back in time I don't think I'd go. The airplane was completely full and I'm guessing drink sales are way up on planes because that's the only reason you're allowed to take off your mask. Also prices were insanely cheap for flights, $250 for round trip tickets for me and my five year old daughter.

  Fairly off-topic and mostly curious, did it help?

    Disneyworld didn’t really help. It had some cool stuff but it’s mostly waiting in line and being uncomfortable wearing a mask constantly. The ocean and sun did. We drove out to the coast and spent a few days at the beach. I saw the ocean for the first time in 15 years, the second time in my life I’ve been there. The sound of the waves against the shore filled with me a sense of awe and overwhelming calm that I didn’t know was possible. My daughter couldn’t stop yelling “this is amazing!”, it was her first time. We went to the beach at midnight and she wished on a shooting star. We both got a nice tan. If I could do it again I’d have just spent the whole week on the beach.
