Together Again Face Mask
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released updated mask guidance for those who are fully vaccinated. Shortly thereafter, Disney’s CEO made a few comments in response. Earlier today we also saw Universal Orlando make significant changes to their mask policy. And now we’ve got a major update from Disney World about changes being made to their mask requirements.
According to an update on the Disney World website, beginning tomorrow, May 15th, guests, regardless of their vaccination status, will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors, except in certain situations.
Face Mask
Disney notes that starting tomorrow “Face coverings are optional in outdoor common areas at Walt Disney World Resort, but are still required upon entering and throughout all attractions, theaters and transportation.”
All guests will be required to wear masks at all indoor locations, “except when actively eating or drinking while stationary and maintaining appropriate physical distancing.”
