Following new legislation signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that suspended all remaining local government COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, including mask requirements, Disney World theme parks are now reevaluating their current COVID-19 safety guidelines.
DeSantis issued two new executive orders “suspending all local emergency orders until July 1, 2021, at which point local orders will be permanently invalidated,” the governor’s office said in a statement Monday.
According to a pop-up message on the My Disney Experience mobile app, Disney World said: “We are aware of the state of Florida’s plans announced today to modify COVID-19 guidelines. We will evaluate this latest guidance and maintain our current health and safety measures at this time, including face covering requirements.” Take a look below:
The pop-up message read: “We will continue to make thoughtful adjustments to our policy. As COVID-19 vaccines become available, we encourage people to become vaccinated.”
Private businesses, such as theme parks and hospitals, are still able to impose their restrictions.
