Walt Disney World demands indoor masks again

Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida reimposed a rule requiring guests aged two and older to wear masks inside the theme park regardless of their immunization status, a day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued guidelines saying even fully vaccinated individuals are expected to wear masks in some interior areas due to concerns over increasing cases of the highly transmissible delta variant coronavirus.

“As of July 30, face coverings are mandatory for all guests (aged 2 and over) inside and on Disney buses, the monorail and the Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status,” Disney World said in an update on its website. “This includes at the entrance and at all attractions. Face coverings remain optional for all guests in the outdoor common areas. “

Disney World had just started allowing vaccinated guests to remove their masks indoors on June 15. Now face coverings will be back.

Disney World took to the heat in 2020 for its strict mask-wearing policy in the park both indoors and outdoors to demand masks for children and refuse to allow exceptions for children with disabilities – such as sensory problems – who cannot wear a face cover.
