We hope you’ve got your Disney face masks handy, because starting Saturday, June 20, face masks will be required to be worn by anyone working, living, visiting, or doing business in Orange County:
The Executive Order was issued due to rising confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the state.
Since face masks have been required since the reopening of Disney Springs, and will be required throughout all public spaces at Walt Disney World Resort hotels and theme parks, this announcement will not change much in the scheme of park visits or stays, however this may mark a change for Disney’s advertised “relaxation zones”, where guests can take off masks in designated spots. Until the order is lifted, keep in mind that masks are required throughout parking lots on property and other areas where most people would usually “de-mask”.
Earlier today, Disney Parks released an update on their health and safety measures ahead of the reopening, with an emphasis on face masks for all. For the full Executive Order, as well as a list of applicable exemptions county-wide, click here.
