Walt Disney World Updates Mask Policy (And Other News)

Guests at Walt Disney World need to follow guidelines as they spend time at the parks. After seeing how things are going, Disney has made things a little clearer.

The rules are: you must wear a mask that qualifies under their rules (whether disposable or reusable, they must be at least two layers, cover nose and mouth, secure with ties or ear loops, secure under the chin and fits snugly against the side of the face). They also can't be 'neck gaiters' or 'open-chin triangle bandanas'.

Masks are required for all guests, ages two and up, at all times except when dining or swimming. Face coverings are not a substitute for physical distancing in the parks. Here's where the change comes: You were allowed to take masks off when you dined, so some people were walking around while eating or drinking. Now, Disney's policy states:

Capacity is still limited, and reservations still have to be made to visit.

In other news, the refurbishment of Spaceship Earth has been postponed, as has a Mary Poppins feature at the U.K. pavilion, both at Epcot. At Magic Kingdom, it's now official that Stitch's Great Escape will not reopen. Also, for annual passholders, discounts on merchandise at participating locations at Walt Disney World has been increased to 30% through August 14, 2020.
