DISNEY California has reportedly changed its rules regarding the use of masks at its theme parks. Disneyland will no longer require fully vaccinated visitors to wear masks indoors or outdoors starting last Tuesday.
According to the Anaheim, California-based theme park and resort, which has been involved with the gradual reopening since April 30. The move comes in conjunction with California State’s COVID-19 regulations that were relaxed on June 15, under which all capacity limits and physical distancing restrictions will be relaxed for fully vaccinated individuals as the state reopens the economy.
Disneyland visitors aged 2 years and over who have not been fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask indoors, except when they are eating. Visitors will not be asked to provide proof that they have been vaccinated, but are required to prove themselves that they have had a COVID-19 shot before entering the theme park.
All visitors, whether vaccinated or not, will be required to wear a mask on bus transportation from the parking lot to the park when the Toy Story parking lot reopens on June 18. Disneyland is also improving on-site temperature checks and social distancing requirements, “So we will allow guests to self-isolate,” the resort said on its website.
The amusement park will continue to make visitors make reservations to enter. Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will also reopen on June 15, with reduced capacity. Disneyland Hotel reopened on July 2, also with limited capacity.
The Walt Disney Company had to close its iconic theme park in mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the US. Walt Disney World reopened last July, while Disneyland remained closed for 13 months. The reopening of California parks also means the return of some 10 new rules in conjunction with California State’s COVID-19 regulations. [sources/photo special]
