Face Covering Requirements

When needed, all face coverings (whether disposable or reusable) must:

  • Be made with at least two layers of breathable material
  • Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin
  • Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
  • Be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the Guest to remain hands-free

Disney recently announced that face coverings with an integrated transparent plastic panel to aid in viewing the wearer’s mouth can be worn in the event that face covering is required again. They must meet certain requirements. These face coverings must be a fabric face covering that includes a solid plastic panel. The panel can contain no openings. In addition, it must be attached to the fabric on all sides using tight knit stitching. The face mask must also meet all other face covering requirements.

  • Bring multiple masks for each member of your party, especially in the summer. With the heat, it may be helpful to have multiple face coverings just in case.
  • Disney does sell face coverings in the parks, should something happen to yours.
  • Bring a plastic baggie to put your masks in while dining.
