However, guests will want to remember that costume masks are not permitted for adults (only children 14 years of age and younger.) In addition, approved face coverings are STILL MANDATORY during your visit. For those planning a fall getaway to the theme parks Disney World also has additional Costume Guidelines in place. These are as follows:
