food IS a theme park
Tokyo Disney Resort is taking increased health and safety measures to help control the spread of COVID-19.
Tokyo Disneyland
Following the curfew regulations implemented by the Japanese government, Tokyo Disney reduced its operating hours in January. Since the initial decision, extensions have been made to the reduced hours, previously through July 11th. And now, the dates for reduced hours have been further extended.
As of June 15th, the state of California has fully reopened its economy, effectively ending most pandemic-era restrictions on businesses and in public areas.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
It was previously announced that temperature checks would no longer be required for Disneyland Resort guests or Cast Members beginning on June 15th. Out-of-state visitors are now allowed inside the parks, and masks are no longer required in most cases for fully vaccinated guests. With updates to the health and safety protocols now in place, we headed out to Disneyland Resort to see these changes in action.
Since Disney World reopened about a year ago, a LOT has changed regarding health and safety measures in the parks.
Mickey Face Mask
For a while, there were tons of different policies to keep up with, but since the COVID-19 vaccine has rolled out across the country, health and safety measures have started to dwindle down. We’ve seen the removal of temperature checks, physical distancing markers, and face masks outdoors, but there’s a new policy starting today — Disney World guests no longer need to wear masks in most locations.
Theme parks have made some BIG changes recently when it comes to altered health and safety regulations. And, if you’re left with questions, you aren’t alone!
Disney World Face Mask
Since the end of April, Americans over the age of 16 have had access to the COVID-19 vaccine. And, now this accessibility is being extended to individuals ages 12 to 15 years old. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that those who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks indoors or outdoors, except in certain situations. After that updated guidance from the CDC was issued, theme parks made numerous changes to their own policies. Today, we’re giving you all the details of what you need to know about how the face mask rules have changed in Disney World, Universal Orlando, and beyond!
If you’ve been keeping up with Disney World’s many health and safety measures, then you probably know about all the changes that have been happening recently!
Guests can now take maskless photos outdoors if they remain stationary and distanced from others.
We’ve seen mask requirements for outdoor areas be relaxed and temperature checks are getting phased out. Now, the verbiage on the Disney World website has changed to indicate that physical distancing measures are being reduced. What could this mean for the future of the parks? Let’s discuss!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
A number of changes to the health and safety procedures have been implemented in Disney World this weekend.
Tower of Terror
As of today, temperature checks are no longer required for entry to the parks, and face masks aren’t required in outdoor areas. And we noticed some changes to certain attractions as well!
Recently, there have been a ton of changes around the Disney World parks.
Cinderella Castle
Along with the looooong list of projects in the works, the parks have shifted their health and safety measures as well. Recently, Disney World slightly modified its mask requirements to allow for guests to briefly take off their masks for photos. On a bigger scale, Florida has already looked into loosening restrictions, while the COVID-19 vaccine is fully available to adults and could begin to become available to people under 16 soon. As Disney World takes all these facts into consideration, a big modification has occurred in the parks!
Disney World has required face masks on property since the parks reopened in July 2020.
Orange Bird Mask!
Right now, all guests are required to wear an approved face covering at ALL times, unless when actively eating or drinking while stationary, or while taking outdoor photos. However, with COVID-19 vaccines rolling out throughout the country and states planning a return to “normal,” we’re taking a look at when we could see these policies shift.
Disney World is slowly returning to pre-COVID operations.
Cinderella Castle
We’re seeing restaurants and hotels reopening, health and safety measures shifting, and suspended events returning. But not everything is as it was before just yet! There are still quite a few things that haven’t returned to Disney World since the extended closure last year.
