    Rapper Calls Out Disney For Kicking Out His Autistic Cousin Over Mask Policy

    Rapper Joey Bada$$ says he’ll never to return to Disney World after the theme park turned away his autistic cousin because he wasn’t wearing a mask.

    On Saturday, the Pro Era rapper took to Instagram to share his tense interaction with theme park employees, after his relative was allegedly denied entry due to COVID-19 safety policies.

    Joey claimed that his autistic cousin wasn’t allowed into Disney World because he refused to wear a mask. He explained that the child doesn’t like wearing a protective face-covering because it makes him feel as though he is suffocating. Take a look at the video below:

    “… The child also has no idea why it is even a requirement. Not to mention that, kids under 2, doesn’t have to wear a mask,” Joey captioned the video, which showed three employees. “These guys have completely ruined my family’s trip.”

    Disney World currently requires face masks for everyone aged two and older. The only carveouts are for when someone is “actively eating or drinking,” and there is nothing in the policy about people with disabilities.

    Disney world is finally back open, but with enhanced saftey measures and procedures. Of course face masks are required, but Disney has already put restrictions on what types of coverings are acceptable and neck gaiter and bandanas are not permitted.

    The company announced neck gaiters and open-chin triangle bandanas will not be allowed. Guests are required to wear masks that are “made with at least two layers of breathable material” and must completely cover the nose and mouth.

    Disney World updated the policy to explicitly state that neck gaiters and “open-chin triangle bandanas” are not acceptable face coverings. And as part of existing rules, costume masks are prohibited.

    Guests ages 2 and up as well as cast members are required to wear a face covering when inside of Walt Disney World’s theme parks and Disney Springs property.

    Mandatory face masks is just one of the health and safety measures Disney is implemented at its parks. Other measures include temperature checks, social distancing protocols, increased sanitization and reduced park capacity.

    As of today, Walt Disney World will is already re-welcoming guests into Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. On July 15, EPCOT and Hollywood Studios will reopen its doors to the public.
