Disney advises that it may update Walt Disney World health and safety measures at any time without warning

Posted: Thursday July 29, 2021 10:12am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

In a new update to the official Walt Disney World website, Disney advises its guests that it may update health and safety protocols at any time and without notice.

When all the health and safety signs were removed in late June, the hope was that masks were gone for good

The change comes alongside the news that Disney will once again be requiring masks to be worn by all guests when indoors, regardless of their vaccination status, effective Friday July 30 2021.

Disney appears to expect that it may need to make modifications as COVID conditions dictate. Disney is no longer on a clear path towards normal operations as originally hoped when Disney lifted all restrictions in June 2021.

Masks will be required indoors from July 30 at Walt Disney World

The full text of the update is as follows:

"As we have done since reopening, we've been very intentional and gradual in our approach to our COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Based on recent trends and regulatory guidance, Walt Disney World Resort will be making adjustments to these measures, which may continue to change at any time without notice."

This thread is going to take a break for a while until any changes are announced at Disney in regard to the last remaining mask requirements on transport.

If we are talking about WDW, put the blame on the company for keeping this silly rule in place. For airplanes, put the blame on the feds. When people realize stupid rules are in place and have no impact, they are going to be challenged. That’s just human nature and the reality throughout history. On the other end, when rules tend to make sense, people are more receptive. WDWs transportation rule is illogical. The feds 14 day extension of the public transportation rule at this point is the same. Expect more push back. It’s all about appearances than anything else and more and more people will pick up on that.

No, you're not following the rules. You're planning the mask version of holding your finger an in from your siblings face and saying, "I'm not touching you!" And for the record, on my recent flights, the message was that masks had to be replaced between bites/sips, so unless you plan on holding g a drink to your mouth for the entire flight then you're not following the rules - but if you do that, please report back and let us know of how that worked out for you during turbulence.

I already explained it. It slows things down and makes it harder for the employees. And some might not really want to sit for 3 hours on a flight next to a guy sipping coffee the whole time.

I don’t understand why you’re mad at me.

There. Fixed the stupid. Now, go create ANOTHER account for me to ignore. :rolleyes:

Nonsensequitter75Apr 14, 2022

Thanks for understanding

G00fyDadApr 14, 2022

Okay.

Nonsensequitter75Apr 14, 2022

God bless, but no thank you.

They are flag carriers for the socially inept and the self-important. They have one job here. It's stupid but they're going to do it.

G00fyDadApr 14, 2022

Just go back to your regular account. Please? For everyone.

What can I say? I’m so lonely at this stage in my life, that the (virtual) company of people who hate me is better than the alternative, which is no company at all.

Hence why I asked the poster if they were intending to only experience outdoor attractions with outdoor queues. If yes, then I can at least understand their logic. If no, then the obsession about people not masking on transportation doesn't make any sense.
