New Health & Safety Measures at Walt Disney World® Resort

To step up to the challenges of these modern times, aspects of a Disney theme park day have been re-examined in light of the new global environment, with new policies following guidance from health experts and government agencies. Along with reduced capacity across resorts and theme parks, giving you more space to be  physically distant from other visitors, new safety procedures and technology usage to minimize contact with include…

• Appropriate Face Coverings – All guests 2 years of age and older, along with cast members, will be required to wear an appropriate face covering while visiting the theme parks.
