travelling internationally even better. you need negative test to get on the plane so you know few people on it have covid. disney you will get a lot of anti vax crazies so for me it's safer to go abroad.

I would avoid people who traveled but because I want to avoid my kids getting a cold and being victims of the covid witch hunt in schools. I'm more concerned about missing school or work than covid.

Delta is still the predominant variant and it shows symptoms pretty quickly. How long will you be back before the party? Would you consider takinh a rapid test the morning of the party?

In general travel doesn't bug me, but Disney with unvaccinated kids does bug me.

This. No parties or hangouts etc. until after we see the one relative we will see at the holidays, who is super cautious like we are. It's not being mean or judgy, it's being careful.

And I'm assuming OP wasn't thinking about the existence of the omicron variant of covid which is already in the US. By the time it gets tracked it's already established, like delta variant was, and it's (as far as we know right now) potentially far more easily spread than either "original" covid or delta variant. Sure, we don't know for sure yet, but that makes me even more cautious about travel. Especially travel to a place like Disney, with so many unvaxxed kids and, I have to figure, many unvaxxed adults too, and possibly the only mask-wearing in Fla. That's my take, OP, but if your family is religious about masking you could be fine with it. My concern would be unvaxxed kids who might not always mask properly;the adults likely would be OK.

Is the party in the week after your Disney trip? If you are newly returned from the trip, I might be concerned. More than a week out wouldn’t bother me.

We are not avoiding people who travel. Most of our friends are vaccinated.

Are you vaccinated? Do you comply with mask mandates? Have you been reasonably careful all throughout the pandemic? I wouldn't attend your party because you aren't all vaccinated, and we currently only socialize indoors with vaccinated people, but your travel wouldn't bother me.

We just hung out with our friends who returned from Disney. I feel nothing about it except mildly grumpy that they didn't bring me a souvenir.

I don’t feel anything about them honestly! I think that if you’re vaccinated and mask reasonably, it’s 100% appropriate to ice life normally. I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with Disney but that’s just me.

If you were an anti-vaxxer it would be a completely different story. I don’t mean to be mean when I shun them, but, I do.

I teach all day l g in a school filled with unvaccinated kids.

I don’t know why travel is more of a risk than that?

Are people still avoiding people who go away?

I would like to have a small holiday party. We are going to Disney world. Not sure if people will want to avoid us.

We were ultra careful for a year. Then adults got vaccinated. 2 of my 3 kids are now vaccinated. DH and I have our boosters.
