Feb. 15 (UPI) —<\/span> Walt Disney World Resort will begin making facial coverings optional for guests who are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, the company said Tuesday.<\/p>\n The rule change will take effect Thursday at the park in Orlando, Fla.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n Face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated guests in both outdoor and indoor locations.<\/p>\n Guests aged 2 and up who are not fully vaccinated “will be expected to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters,” reads a statement on Disney’s website.<\/p>\n The coverings will still be required in certain locations, regardless of vaccination status.<\/p>\n Masks will remain mandatory for everyone on enclosed Disney transportation, including Disney buses, monorails, and Disney Skyliner.<\/p>\n Current rules will remain in effect through Wednesday. That means “neck gaiters, open-chin, triangle bandanas and face coverings containing valves, mesh material or holes of any kind are not acceptable face covering,” according to Disney’s website.<\/p>\n There are no protocols for determining who is and is not vaccinated, meaning guests are using the honor system.<\/p>\n The website for Disneyland, located in Anaheim, CA, differs slightly. It says<\/p>\n “Face coverings are required for all guests while indoors, including on many attractions and in enclosed transportation vehicles, regardless of vaccination status,” says that park’s website.\n<\/p>\n The company says it will continue its ongoing commitment to cleanliness and sanitation across the park. It also says the rules remain subject to change at any time without notice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Disney said Tuesday, guests who are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 attending Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., will no longer be required to wear face coverings beginning Thursday.
