Disney is dropping most of its indoor mask requirements for fully vaccinated guests at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Starting Thursday, face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated guests in most indoor and outdoor spaces at the parks, according to Disney World and Disneyland's websites. Guests, regardless of vaccination status, will still be required to wear masks in certain indoor settings, like transportation shuttles, and "in health settings, such as First Aid."
Disneyland will not require guests to show proof of vaccination, but guests must "self-attest" that they are "in compliance prior to entry." The park's site notes that the state of California strongly recommends that all guests be fully vaccinated or have negative Covid tests.
"We encourage people to get vaccinated," Disney World's site says.
The parks mandated masks indoors for all guests 2 and over as cases of the delta variant of the coronavirus surged in July.
The updated mask policies at the Disney parks come as others nationwide lift mask mandates for fully vaccinated people.
California allowed its indoor mask mandate for fully vaccinated people to expire Tuesday.
The Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals also lifted Covid precautions for their festivals scheduled for April.
