Disney said face coverings will also be required when entering an attraction, and must remain on throughout the attraction.

Face coverings, Disney said, remain optional for guests in outdoor common areas.

For the past six weeks, guests were allowed to go without wearing a mask within the parks if they were fully vaccinated.
