In response the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in cases involving the Delta variant, Disney Parks announced that Walt Disney World and Disneyland will go back to enforcing mask wearing for cast members and guests over the age of 2. Masks will be required for all indoor activities including rides and attractions beginning Friday, July 30th. The Orange County Mayor’s office and the CDC have recently requested businesses institute mask mandates in hopes of stopping the spread of the Delta variant that has quickly become the dominant strain of COVID-19 in many regions across the globe. Previously, vaccinated guests were allowed to go maskless in the parks except for during transportation on buses, the skyliner, and other vehicles. Read the official statement from Disney below:
