Masks No Longer Required In Outdoor Attractions, Queues, and Theaters
Disney has just updated their face mask policy. Starting on Thursday, August 19, 2021, face coverings are now optional to all guests in outdoor attractions, outdoor queues, and outdoor theaters.
Disney states:
Since May, face coverings have been optional for Guests in outdoor common areas, and beginning Thursday, August 19, face coverings will also be optional for Guests in outdoor attractions, outdoor queues and outdoor theaters at Walt Disney World Resort. As a reminder, face coverings remain required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) while indoors and in Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status.
However, guests ages 2 and up still have to wear face coverings while indoors and on all Disney transportation. This includes Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status.
When Disney brought back masks to guests indoors, they did not bring back social distancing or temperature screenings for guests.
As part of Disney’s ongoing commitment to the health and safety of Guests, Cast Members, Disney has high standards for general cleanliness and sanitation and employ robust cleaning procedures, such as:
- Training for Cast Members, with ongoing reinforcement on a regular basis
- Easy access to handwashing facilities and hand sanitizer dispensers
- Quick response to spills, trash and other situations
- End of day sanitation procedures for restroom, kitchen, and other facilities
