Face Covering Policy Changes at Disney World Starting Feb. 17 cinderella-castle-disney-world-50-crop

UPDATE: The changes detailed below are also set to take place at the Disneyland Resort in California on the same dates.




Beginning February 17, 2022, Face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated guests in both outdoor and indoor locations. Disney expects guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters. Face coverings will still be required by all guests (ages 2 and up) on enclosed Disney transportation, including Disney buses, monorails, and Disney Skyliner.

Current Face Covering Requirements Through February 16, 2022:
Face coverings are required for all guests (ages 2 and up) in all indoor locations, regardless of vaccination status. This includes upon entering and throughout all indoor attractions and indoor queues and in Disney buses, monorail, and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status. Face coverings are optional for guests in outdoor areas. 

All face coverings (whether disposable or reusable) should:



  • Be made with at least 2 layers of breathable material
  • Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin
  • Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
  • Be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the guest to remain hands-free

At this time, based on guidance from health authorities, neck gaiters, open-chin, triangle bandanas and face coverings containing valves, mesh material or holes of any kind are not acceptable face coverings.
