Face masks are the new norm at theme parks, and even the Most Magical Place on Earth is no exception to the rule, with guests required to keep their face masks on throughout their time in the Magic Kingdom—even for photographs. Earlier in the week, we heard the debut of a new audio reminder informing guests that face masks must be worn during photos. Now, Cast Members patrolling Cinderella Castle have been equipped with signage reminding guests to keep masks on for photos.

The sign is outlined in the familiar forest green being used on Health & Safety signage throughout the parks. It reads, “Wear a Face Covering While Taking Photos” with the icon of a camera and a person wearing a mask. Cast patrolling the castle hub area remind guests to adhere to the face mask requirements at all times, unless actively eating or drinking while stationary. Keeping face masks on for photographs, be it ones you take yourself or through a PhotoPass photographer, has been an established rule since the reopening of the parks.

You can hear the new face mask audio reminder in the video below:

This is one of the more recent efforts by Walt Disney World to ensure health and safety guidelines are being met throughout the parks. Other recent changes to the Magic Kingdom include new physical distancing barriers in the queue for “it’s a small world” and even preliminary distancing markers along the sidewalk of Main Street, U.S.A. for current cavalcades and eventually, parades.

What do you think of the new signs? Have you witnessed many guests removing their face masks outside of designated areas, or while not eating and drinking? Let us know in the comments.

  1. I still think designated photo spots should be marked off and distanced so people could take masks off for the pics. They can put them back on before leaving the designated photo spot.

  2. Certainly is no longer the happiest place on Earth- these people are all over and ready to pounce on anyone God forbid taking a sip of water on a 95 degree day while walking- sad it has come to this! CDC doesn’t even recommend outdoor masks when social distancing is possible- we won’t go back!
