Walt Disney World removes all face mask requirements

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Walt Disney World removed all of its face mask requirements this week.

The theme park previously required face coverings for all guests aboard Disney buses and monorails regardless of vaccination status. Disney made masks optional for fully vaccinated guests aboard the Disney Skyliner last month.
