Disney World Makes Huge Change To Mask Policy

Masks have been required at all Central Florida theme parks since reopening in Summer 2020 and now Disney is loosening the restrictions for park goers this week.

Walt Disney World made a very unique announcement and it pertains to their existing mask rules. Starting this Thursday, (4/8) guests can remove their masks while taking outdoor photos. According to Disney’s website, you must be stationary and maintain appropriate social distancing while you take the picture. This means your castle photos can be completely maskless!
