Dhaka: Face coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated guests indoors and outdoors at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts from February 17.

Walt Disney World Resorts said in social media that those who are not fully vaccinated are expected to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations at its parks in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Face coverings will continue to be required by all guests two and older on enclosed transportation vehicles, including Disney buses, monorails and skyliner.

A Disneyland official, according to reports, said that the resort in Anaheim, California, is also updating its policy effective February 17, aligning with Walt Disney World.

Disney's change follows Florida's Universal Orlando, which lifted its indoor and outdoor face covering requirement for fully vaccinated guests on February 12.

Unvaccinated guests are encouraged to wear face coverings indoors, Universal Orlando said, adding, it updated its policy based on "local conditions and trends."

In California, Universal Hollywood still requires guests to wear face coverings at all times, both indoors and outdoors, regardless of vaccination status in accordance with a Los Angeles County face covering mandate.

As per rules, Universal Hollywood also has a vaccination or negative Covid-19 test requirement for all guests five and older.
