Lots of health-based changes have made their way to Disney World since it reopened.
Disney Springs Reopening
As of April 2022, masks are optional for all guests in nearly all places in Disney World. You may, however, still be required to wear a mask in select areas of first aid centers, and Disney notes that “It is recommended Guests who are not fully vaccinated continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters and on enclosed transportation.” If you plan on having your little one wear a mask, you might be wondering how on earth do you get your 2-year-old to wear a mask, even if it’s just for a bus or monorail ride??? We’ve got some tips to help!
