Are full face shields acceptable in parks in place of face masks or are the masks still required?

Masks are still required.

Thanks...I figured that and am not doubting you but is that written anywhere officially from Disney?

A face shields do not meet the requirements of 2 layers of breathable material, secure under the chin, or fit snugly against the side of the face.

You can wear them in addition to masks. Just not as a substitute.

So stupid that Disney doesn’t allow neck gaiters.

They don’t have filters or enough layers to actually stop any spray if you sneeze or cough

They have been proven to increase the spread of droplets not decrease them- actually Disney was way ahead on this. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083?te=1&nl=running&emc=edit_ru_20200822
