A big change has come to the face mask policy at Disney World as guests will now be allowed to remove their masks when taking an outdoor photo.
Beginning April 8, guests will be allowed to remove their masks temporarily while taking outdoor photos; however, you’ll need to remain stationary and be sure to keep an “appropriate” physical distance while snapping shots.
“You may temporarily remove your face covering while actively eating, drinking or taking an outdoor photo, but you must be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing during this time,” according to Disney’s website.
Previously guests would have to keep their masks on while taking photos at the parks. All guests ages 2 and up are still required to wear face masks during their visit.
Since reopening last summer with new health and safety measures, Disney has periodically updated its face mask policy. Earlier this year, Disney updated the policy to say that even visitors who have received the COVID-19 vaccine would still be required to wear a face mask. The change comes as vaccine rollout continues in the United States.
