Well, it looks like the recent spike in Covid cases caused by the unvaccinated folks has ruined things for everyone. Disney World and Disneyland California just announced that masks will be required again, starting July 30th, at all indoor settings and attractions. Here’s the text snippet from the Disney site:
Beginning July 30, face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) while indoors and in Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status. This includes upon entering and throughout all attractions. Face coverings remain optional for all Guests in outdoor common areas.
For the full details on this and other current restrictions, refer to the Disney World experience updates page and the Disneyland experience updates page.
This was just announced for the Disney World and Disneyland California locations, but I’m sure the same will be applied to other Disney locations and other theme parks soon, unfortunately. Hopefully, this won’t lead to further restrictions or even another shutdown.
Let’s hope that everyone gets vaccinated soon and stops the spread!
Update: As of Thursday, August 19, 2021, masks are now optional, not required, on outdoor parts of ride queues and outdoor rides, like Dumbo. I have a feeling this will be a constantly changing situation, so always check for the latest information on the official Disney sites listed above.
