Fun, Sun & Safety: How Theme Parks Are Protecting Guests & Staff

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 – As of August 2021, Disney requires all guests, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face coverings in indoor locations at Walt Disney World_® Resort in Florida and the Disneyland_® Resort in California. Children under the age of two are exempt from this rule.
• Physical Distancing and Capacity Measures – To maintain appropriate physical distancing, a limited number of guests will be able to visit each theme park each day; limits will also be in place for indoor locations within the parks, such as retail shops and dining locations.
• Cleanliness – As part of our ongoing commitment to the health and safety of our Guests, Cast Members and the larger community, we have 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
• Cashless Transactions – Guests are encouraged to use cashless options whenever possible, including MagicBands, debit cards, credit cards, Disney gift cards and mobile payment methods.
• Mobile Order – Using the My Disney Experience app, guests can browse menus for most quick-service theme park restaurants, order ahead from wherever they are in the park and pick an arrival time that fits their schedule.
