Disney has replaced its park policies to ban valve masks, mesh masks, or hole masks.
This policy specification follows other recent adjustments to Disney policies, adding the removal of a lagoon that technically allowed visitors to wear a mask while walking while dining or drinking.
“Facial coatings are intended for the movement of respiratory droplets, and exhalation valves and fabric with holes do not sufficiently remove exhaled air,” the company says on the Walt Disney World website. “At the moment, neck covers, open triangular chin scarves, and face coverings containing valves, sutures, or holes of any kind are not appropriate facial coatings.”
Disney’s mask rules have remained a hot topic of discussion in the hospitality and tourism industry since Downtown Disney, Disneyland Resort’s grocery and food shopping district, began reopening its services on July 9.
Universal Orlando Resort did the same, updating its mask policy on July 22 to ban masks with exhalation valves and dots or holes, to Attraction Magazine.
