Disney CEO Bob Chapek hinted that there could be a change to the mandatory mask requirement at Disney parks.
“Particularly, if anybody’s been in Florida in the middle of summer with a mask on. That could be quite daunting,” Chapek said. “So we think that’s going to make for an even more pleasant experience.”
The parks had already started raising the number of people allowed in Florida, based on relaxed restrictions from Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“So I think you’re going to see an immediate increase in the number of folks that we re able to admit into our parks through our reservation systems that we recently implemented,” Chapek said.

Ever since the pandemic began the question has been when would things return to normal. The reopening of theme parks itself brought back something that a lot of people felt was normal, but actually visiting those parks right now is anything but normal. However, for those that are truly waiting for the theme park experience to be back to what it once was, we ve seen a big step in that direction as both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort have announced that they re ending temperature screenings at their respective resorts, and Universal is even reducing social distancing requirements.
