While most seemed happy to be out, most were also wary of direct contact. There was far less bumping and chatting in crowds and queues. In general, my time in public felt like playing a game of minesweeper. Most types of people seemed desperate for conversation and interaction. There was far more politeness in elevators and lines. Mixed bag for me, being an extroverted introvert. Other people seemed slightly cautious but mostly careless and desperate with a dash of distrustful. The park and hotel workers seemed to have a good routine and well prepared. I’ll say though, that not one white and privileged were not giving 2 shits about sanitizing or masks before their breakfast, present company excluded for the past 2 weeks.
The "being careful" does make sense, but it is an incredible pleasure to see smiling faces again. The worst part of the mask for me...is that it hides smiles!
I've only been to Universal one time...in LA. Great experience. You are lucky to be able to do it on a regular basis.
