To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
As the world continues to change, so does Disney. Throughout the pandemic, Disney parks have adapted their vaccine and mask policies to follow local laws while also ensuring health and safety.

Today, we’ve got an update about Disney World’s Cast Member vaccination policy.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney World has paused its vaccination requirement, following new legislation from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis preventing companies from having vaccination requirements for continued employment. However, unvaccinated Cast Members can still be required to do frequent testing and wear protective gear like masks and gloves under the new law.
Cast Member
“We remain confident in the approach we have taken with our mandatory vaccine policy for Florida-based Cast Members and employees, with more than 90% of our active Florida-based Cast members and employees having verified that they are fully vaccinated, and we consider this to be very successful,” according to a memo that was sent to Cast Members.
Cast Members
Previously, Disney World had made an agreement with the Cast Members’ union that Cast Members had until October 22, 2021 to be vaccinated.

It is truly unbelievable what the Governor of Florida is doing. WDW cast and all visitors are at risk unnecessarily! Theme parks in general are at greater risk because of the close proximity and everyone touching all the same things…….
Really ridiculous and sad.
👏👏👏👏👏
Another win for DeSantis! This is fantastic!
It’s time to be selfless not selfish!
LOL. Insurance companies are looking to cancel or raise rates of the unvaccinated. Paying for your hospitalization will financially ruin even the wealthiest of people. $75k a day for a ventilator is no joke.
Those 10% are going to end up paying more out of pocket for increased insurance fees.
Rumors now but talk that doctors won’t be able to see patients if they aren’t vaccinated or lose their medical insurance.
Its basic economics – get the free shot or gamble with major financial bills, loss of work, etc.
But keep applauding a “free market” governor who is forcing private corporations to behave the way he wants. The logic circle is literally killing people.
