Walt Disney World is doing away with temperature checks soon, and now, they are also reducing physical distancing requirements.
The temperature check removal will hit all locations at Walt Disney World Resort as of May 16, 2021. Universal Orlando Resort has already done away with them and also cut down physical distancing requirements by half.
Walt Disney World has updated their official website showing that the “6FT 2M” markings for physical distancing. It now shows a blank arrow and the write-up details how physical distancing is changing.
Temporary adjustments are still in place to promote physical distancing. While we will reduce physical distancing measures for Guests across many areas with a gradual, phased approach, six-feet distancing measures will continue in all dining locations, merchandise stores and in areas where Guests can temporarily remove their masks.
Physical distancing measures may include:
- Signage and Ground Markings: Please follow directional signage and ground markings, which have been installed throughout Walt Disney World Resort to help Guests better navigate common areas while practicing physical distancing.
- Physical Barriers: Physical barriers have been added in select places to help promote proper separation between people, including in queues and on transportation and attractions. Barriers may also be visible, for example, in areas around cash registers or at Guest Relations.
- Party Size: Guests traveling in parties of more than 10 are asked to split into smaller groups in queues, dining locations and other areas around our parks and resorts to better allow for physical distancing.
- Parking: Cashless payment is recommended at the auto plazas.
- Training: Cast Members are trained to engage with Guests and promote physical distancing guidelines in common areas and queues.
Vehicles will now be parked regularly in parking lots and not every other spot. Some locations will still have six feet of physical distancing, but there will be others with less.
