Face coverings for guests at Walt Disney World Resort will no longer be required when outdoors beginning on Saturday.
“Starting May 15, face coverings for guests will be optional in outdoor common areas at Walt Disney World Resort,” Disney said in a statement. “With the exception that guests must wear face coverings from the entrances at all attractions, theaters or transportation and throughout those experiences.”
Based on these updates, guests are still expected to bring a face covering with them for their visit. Social distancing guidelines still apply.
If a guest is stationary while eating food or drinking a beverage, the guest is allowed to be maskless.
When it comes to temperature checks to allow visitors to enter, all three major parks, Disney, Universal and SeaWorld, either have already eliminated them or are planning to do so soon.
Disney announced on its website that it would be phasing out on-site temperature screenings for cast members starting May 8 and for guests on May 16.
