Physical Distancing At Disney World Gets An Update

Disney World has had a lot of changes happening recently at the parks including not having to wear a face mask outside while in the parks. Temperature checks are gone and social distancing measures have been reduced.

Disney World has changed their physical distancing rules on their website for restaurants and stores.

Disney World’s website says “adjustments are still in place to promote physical distancing”. Before, the website said guests have to be 6 feet apart. Signs in Disney World are also starting to not say stand 6 feet apart from other people.

I think now that most adults and now some kids have taken the COVID 19 vaccine Disney World can start being a little less cautious about their rules.

My Favorite Disney World Vloggers!

My family and I watch many different Disney World Vloggers and I thought it would be a great idea to tell you who are my favorite Disney World Vloggers!

5. My fifth favorite Disney World vlogger is DFB Guide. (The DFB stands for Disney Food Blog.) These videos are really informative and keep you up to date with the latest Disney News. My favorite DFB Guide videos are the ones like The 25 BEST Disney World Snacks For 2021!

4. Molly from AllEars is my third favorite Disney World vlogger. Molly’s videos are usually really long so make sure you have a lot of time to sit and watch her videos.

3. PCDev is my third favorite Disney World vlogger. What I love about PCDev’s videos is that they are really fast. You don’t get bored.

2. My second favorite Disney World vlogger is ResortTV1. ResortTV1 does a bunch of live streams which means that you can watch their videos while they are in the parks!

My favorite Disney World vlogger is Paging Mr. Morrow! Paging Mr. Morrow is very funny and he is just entertaining to watch.

I hope this list was helpful!

You No Longer Need To Wear A Face Mask Outside At Disney World!

Yes, you read that correctly! You no longer need to wear a face mask outside while at Disney World.

That doesn’t mean face masks are disappearing though. You are still required to wear a face mask when entering or leaving a ride, in all theaters, all transportation, and any indoor locations.

Are you going to Main Street Bakery? Remember to put your face mask on first.

Temperature checks are also no longer required when entering the parks, resorts, or Disney Springs! Now, all you have to do to get in the parks is scan your MagicBand or use Disney MagicMobile.

This is great news because as we get closer and closer to summer it would have been very hard to keep our masks on outside in the Florida heat.

New Transportation Service Will Replace Disney’s Magical Express

Earlier this year, it was announced that the Disney Magical Express would no longer be running starting January 1, 2022.

Mears will start using Mears Connect to get Disney World guests to the airport and Disney World resorts in January 2022. Reservations will be required and you can begin booking through Mears Connect starting May 2021.

If more information is released about this new transportation, I promise to tell you!

Face Masks Will Still Be Required In Disney World Even If You Get The COVID-19 Vaccine

If you go to Disney World right now, you are required to wear a face mask.

Disney now has said that even when you get the COVID-19 vaccine you will still need to wear a face mask. This rule is required for everyone two years old and up.

Your mask at Disney World right now has to meet certain rules. Such as:

Your mask must have two layers of breathable fabric
It has to cover your nose and mouth
Your mask has to fit your face comfortably
It needs to be secured by ties or ear loops

The only time you can take your mask off right now is if you are eating, drinking, or swimming. When you are eating, you have to be physically distant from other people.

Planning to eat at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe? Remember to be physically distant from others.

You can’t wear a costume mask at Disney World and your mask must be a fabric mask.

I will continue to keep you updated with Disney News happening in the parks!

2021 Has Already Brought Changes To Disney World

2021 is bringing some changes to Disney World and today let’s talk about the changes that have already begun.

Park Hopping returned on January 1, 2021. If you purchase a ticket or annual pass with Park Hopper benefits you can visit more than one park in one day.

You can once again visit as many parks as you want depending on the capacity. You can also only Park Hop after 2:00 pm. Disney will soon change the time for Park Hopping. You can read more about park hopping here!

Disney is now not giving guests free MagicBands . In the past, you could choose a MagicBand and the MagicBand would be shipped to your house before you went to Disney World. Now, if you have a hotel reservation you can get a discount MagicBand or link MagicBands from another Disney World trip.

In the past, if you had a Disney World reservation you would get free reusable luggage tags and a Magical Extras discount card. These would be given to you before you go to Disney World.

Now, you will not get a free reusable luggage tag or Magical Extras discount card. Instead, you will get the reusable luggage tags and Magical Extras discount card at the front desk of your Disney World resort.

I will continue to keep you updated with changes happening in Disney World!
