Disney World just became a little more like what we are used to in terms of a magical place to visit.
That’s because since the parks reopened in July of last year, after 116 days of being dark due to COVID-19, stringent safety rules have been in place (viaCNN).
These rules have ranged from keeping six feet of distance between guests, to wearing face coverings at all times.
Recently, Disney has loosened its guidelines, with guests being allowed toremove their face masksto take photos within the parks.
But temperature checks and social distancing have still remained in place as measures to keep vacationers as safe as possible.
Now, Disney is making a big change to these guidelines, announcing via itswebsitethat in a “phased approach,” social distancing parameters are going to be reduced (viaFox News).
That said, Disney made it clear that in areas where face masks are not required, such as while dining, six feet of distance will still be mandatory.
What else is changing at Disney World
In addition to social distancing requirements being reduced in certain areas within Disney parks, the company’swebsitealso announced it is phasing out on-site temperature checks.
As of mid-May, temperature checks for guests will no longer be required to enter parks, with the site further noting, “Since reopening, we have considered guidance from public health authorities, government agencies, and our own team of health and safety experts as we assess and update health and safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
It’s worth noting Disney’s site still warns of the inherent risk of COVID-19 exposure if you decide to visit the parks.
