We’ve seen a number of changes made in Disney World recently when it comes to face mask policies, social distancing policies, and more.

Now, Disney has made another BIG change when it comes to masks in the parks.

According a recent update on the Walt Disney World website, changes will be made to certain mask policies and distancing procedures soon. Note that all of these changes are set to take place starting June 15th.

Masks

When it comes to masks, beginning on June 15th, masks will become optional for fully vaccinated guests in most areas in Disney World.

Face masks will, however, continue to be required for all guests (including vaccinated guests) on Disney transportation, including Disney buses, monorails, and the Disney Skyliner.

Disney will not be requiring proof of vaccination. But, Disney does note that they expect guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face masks in all indoor locations, and upon entering and throughout all attractions and transportation.

Keep in mind that these changes will NOT take place until June 15. Guests must continue to comply with Disney’s existing face mask policy until then.

Social Distancing

In terms of social distancing, Disney notes that they will be relaxing distancing guidelines. They note that this will be visible in places like queues, shops, restaurants, attraction boarding, transportation and our theaters.

Some experiences and entertainment may, however, continue to operate with limited capacity or be temporarily unavailable.
