Disney Once Again Updates Face Covering Policy
Disney continues to fine-tune their mask policy. On July 8th, a Disney official specified that all guests are required to wear face masks that FULLY cover the nose and mouth. In addition, they need to be secured by loops or ties that go around the ears. No neck gaiters are permitted. That policy has since changed again.
Disney is specifying that face coverings that contain valves, mesh material or holes of any kind will not be acceptable.

Here is the full face covering policy:
Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members. Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming. You may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking, but you should be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing.
All face coverings (whether disposable or reusable) must:
- Be made with at least two layers of breathable material
- Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin
- Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
- Be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the Guest to remain hands-free
At this time, based on guidance from health authorities, neck gaiters, open-chin triangle bandanas, and face coverings containing valves, mesh material or holes of any kind are not acceptable face coverings.
Costume masks are also not considered appropriate and are prohibited from being worn, in alignment with our existing rules.
The use of face coverings is not a substitute for physical distancing.
We hope this clears up any questions!
