Broadway closed down in March 2020 and reopened 18 months later with several COVID-19 protocols in place.

Disneyland may have reopened to guests just one year ago, but the resort has seen quite a few changes to health and safety measures in that time period.

When the parks first reopened, face masks were required almost everywhere. That quickly changed to face masks becoming optional outside, and then again becoming optional almost everywhere for vaccinated guests. The only place that has kept mask requirements in place for everyone (ages 2 and older) was on enclosed transportation like Disney shuttles. But, that has now changed.

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, a big mask change is coming to a form of transportation you might use often in your own town or while on vacation at Disney World and elsewhere.
