Disney eliminates mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks for guests who are fully vaccinated effective June 15

I really feel like I may have had a hand in this. I JUST finished sewing the last mask for our trip about 15 minutes ago and posted this pic on FB. So, you're all welcome! (just kidding!)

We are here now and mask compliance is already pretty poor. Enforcement is non existent. I imagine come the 15th (or sooner) it will be mask free. Even for those that cannot possibly be vaccinated.

honestly the thing that irks me is not the masks. It's that rules are not being followed or enforced. Too much of a rule follower I guess!

Hope you’re having a great trip!

Well you still need them on Disney transportation and in airports, so not a complete loss?

 

[RamblingRabbit]

No masks, and noods for all (who have ADRs)! A great way to end a week!

Noods and Nude faces in the same day.

Very true. And our girls are not old enough to be vaccinated, so we'll all be wearing them in certain areas where they will still need them... you know, in solidarity and all.

That's the joke

Less labor on my part but I bought us like three packs of Disney masks each when Shop Disney had a sale. Now I'm like uhhhhh... we really don't need all these lol!

On a side note, related to Disneyland, June 15th is the big date that all restrictions drop in California which allows them to operate normally again. So there's an interesting thing to keep an eye on, Disneyland might not be far behind once they get their decision making abilities back!

I’m fully vaccinated and I have an ‘Ohana reservation so I’m one happy gal!

 

[RamblingRabbit]

Literally, if Disney just brings back 'Ohana characters before September then this trip will be perfect.

I know personally I'll be keeping a mask in my pocket for the rest of my life at this point just for comfort (and to help treat RBF) but having the option is much nicer than dealing with other people not following rules.

Make sure you use a lot of wdw transportation

Mine has become a weird bracelet fashion accessory as I try to navigate which stores require them and which don't.

 

[disny_luvr]

Since it seems like they are doing away with social distancing at restaurants, I wonder if more ADRs will become available?

Yep, ditto for me, too. Even at our local outlets, some stores require masks and some don’t. I feel like I wear it on my wrist more than on my face.

The big difference in California is they can actually enforce the "for vaccinated people" section if they want to. I'm curious to see if they do.

Awesome, this is great news. Just in time for our trip!!!

Same! We head down that day!!

Is it too early to hope for FP+ and extended hours being announced next week?

Never too early - extended hours seems like it should be a given - at least opening Epcot at normal time would be nice.

They just extended Animal Kingdom hours by an hour at least, but it still closes early

 

[TikiTikiFan]

I think the hour extensions today are a good sign, I expect we'll see more. For instance the last week of June MK is still opening at 9AM but every day the week prior is 8AM, so I imagine those small adjustments are coming soon. They could easily start fireworks at 9PM so not seeing that extended doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing for our firework hopes.

True. I just hope somebody announces if restaurants get more reservations if hours are extended. All my ADRs are set up based on when parks were going to open and close at the end of April. Don't want to miss rope drop or last ride with new hours!
