News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

[MagicHappens1971]

Disney literally was adding new mask signage yesterday/day before!

Someone covered this a few weeks ago. Disney’s chain of management is so large that the decision to change distancing was probably already made, but had not been further communicated down the line just yet, it’s a little more complicated then that. But simply put

Where does Orange County stand? Did they drop their mandate yet?

There is no mandate to drop.

At the rate of new policies being released, by June 1, Disney is going to be the only large corporation requiring indoor masks for the fully vaccinated.

incorrect...mask mandate expired last night for me...masks up signs still at the vast majority of businesses today

it will take time.

if you think Comcast is gonna force Disney into something...you haven’t been paying attention.

No rumors on WDW following Universal on the new mask policy?

So does universal have any restrictions now or are they back to pre-COVID conditions?

At one time Disney would dictate what happens in Orlando for all theme parks. Now Universal is to Disney as Airbus is to Boeing.

Technically, unvaccinated people are supposed to wear masks. But there is no enforcement. And there is no further social distancing required. So, in terms of restrictions, basically back to pre-Covid as I understand it.

I don’t think Disney cares if universal dictates stuff especially Covid related rules. If they cared so much they would’ve opened WDW earlier than July a whole month later than universal. I’m sure we will hear something from Disney really soon though.

Just spoke with a CM in Tomorrowland. She thinks WDW will drop the indoor mask rule either tonight or a week from now.

Also said she’s “beyond tired” of enforcing it.

 

[Magic Feather]

WDW isn’t dropping immediately. Even though they said no enforcement, Universal still drew a line between vaccinated and unvaccinated. Disney will not do that.

That said, it will likely be dropped at Disney within the next month, for better or worse.

When will meet and greets come back I wonder.

”Tonight or a week from now“ is a little bit of a window . But kudos to the CM for sharing some info.

I've got a bridge to sell to. Sounds like a disgruntled CM just wishing ...

I honestly feel like Disney will drop them soon. Like, sooner than people think. They’re the lone holdout at this point. And frankly, more folks will be happy about it than upset about it. And, money…

Bars in some cities were holding mask burning parties. Doubtful the watering holes at Disney will do the same.

Keep me posted if you hear of such a gathering ! No, honestly, I did what I was supposed to in regards to mask wearing throughout the last 15 months and now vaccinated. But I’m not going to lie, I’m over the mask wearing anywhere at this point.

I’m so excited! Super hopeful that Disney does what Universal and most other theme parks have done. It’s beyond ridiculous that masks aren’t optional or recommended already versus mandatory. The vaccines are widely available, and it’s time for folks who want to mask up to do so and those that feel comfortable not masking up to have that option. We arrive at Disney tomorrow!!
