Other parks are changing mask policies too

Last week Universal Orlando Resort updated their face mask policy, stating that masks must be worn at all times, unless guests are eating or drinking distanced away from other guests, mirroring the same update that Disney made just a few days prior. And we expect that the ban on specific masks, including ones with valves, mesh and/or holes will be another policy that Universal would be wise to duplicate in the coming days, in an effort to keep all guests who visit their park as safe as possible. 

In addition, earlier this month LEGOLAND Florida announced that visitors ages 8 and older will be required to wear a face masks in all enclosed areas of the resort as well as on all attractions, a reversal of their previous optional mask policy. Fortunately the park will be providing complimentary disposable face masks for guests who do not remember to bring one from home. 

Though there have been plenty of rule and policy changes across theme parks already we expect there will be many more in the coming weeks and months as Walt Disney World (as well as other theme parks) continues to adapt to the "new normal" when it comes to keeping guests safe. 

As always, while this situation is evolving, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
