By 1 Comment

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.

COVID-19 rules and regulations are CHANGING.

Face mask

Not too long ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended the U.S. mask mandate for planes and other public transportation, as well as transportation hubs. The CDC’s mask mandate was then struck down by a federal judge in Florida. Following that, the TSA announced that it would not enforce the mask mandate on public transportation and other changes have now been made.

Now, what started as an idea and meetings has turned into something much more real.
