To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
There have been a lot of changes to Disney World’s health and safety policy since the start of the pandemic. We’ve seen the rules fluctuate over time, and Disney has been careful to monitor the situation to adapt when necessary.
EPCOT
Recently, Disney relaxed its face mask policy for Disney World guests, though face masks were still required on all enclosed transportation. Now, there’s been another change to the COVID-19 policy.
Starting tomorrow, March 16th, face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated guests on the Disney World Skyliner. Disney stated that masks will also be optional for fully vaccinated guests on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser transport vehicle while traveling to and from the Halcyon starcruiser and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Face mask
Keep in mind that face coverings will still be required on monorails and Disney buses for all guests (ages 2 and up).
Disney Skyliner
As always, Disney’s health and safety policies are subject to change. We’ll be sure to keep our eyes out for more changes so you know what to expect during your next trip to Disney World.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign
Disney World isn’t the only park to see some major changes, though. In Disneyland Paris, guests are no longer required to present proof of vaccination to enter the parks. On the other hand, in Shanghai Disney, guests visiting the park are required to show proof of a negative COVID test.

RIDICULOUS. If you remove the policy for one just do it for all. You ride, stand in line and walk shoulder to shoulder.
A previous COVID infection offers greater protection than the vaccines. Vaccinated someone who has previously recovered from COVID offers no benefit at all. Natural immunity antibodies are better and longer-lasting than those produced by vaccines. At this point, if someone hasn’t had COVID and chooses not to be vaccinated they he or she should proceed at his or her own risk, mask or not. It’s called personal responsibility. We should not be telling anyone what to do. I’m triple vaccinated and have likely had Omicron in the past month, so I don’t care if anyone wears a mask or not. It won’t bother me.
How are they monitoring the mask mandate for non vaccinated people?
