Disney World bans eating and drinking while walking to help enforce mask-wearing. In March, the Mouse House shuttered all theme parks indefinitely in an attempt to prevent further COVID-19 outbreaks. In May, Shanghai Disneyland reopened, while implementing new safety policies. These include limited capacity, temperature checks for employees, and mandatory mask-wearing. Despite a recent surge of coronavirus cases in Florida, Orlando’s Walt Disney World moved forward with reopening on July 11, an action that received backlash from Disney heiress Abigail Disney. Now, the theme park has unveiled a new guideline to enforce safety.

Per Deadline, Disney World will now require guests to remain stationary while they consume food and beverage. Previously, the theme park’s exception on mask-wearing was limited to eating and drinking, which led to guests roaming through the park without a mask due to holding a water bottle or Mickey-shaped pretzel. Continuing to enforce social distancing, Disney World’s updated official policy states, “…you may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking but you should be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing.” Required for guests over the age of 2, face coverings must fully cover the face and mouth, and be secured in a manner that allows guests to remain hands-free.

Additionally, Disney World revealed the theme park will not allow guests to buy their ride photos if they’re not wearing a mask. As it stands, mandated mask-wearing continues to be a hot button issue for businesses amid coronavirus concerns. While it remains to be seen what lasting impacts the coronavirus pandemic has created, no doubt the Walt Disney Company will continue to alter guidelines once loopholes emerge to create a safe space for all guests. Enforced guidelines will create some difference in Disney World, but will hopefully allow guests to safely enjoy their visit.
