Disney World health and safety regulations seem like they are ever-evolving.
EPCOT
It has been almost a year since Disney World closed in response to the global health crisis. Since then, Disney has been repeatedly updating the mask policy, social distancing protocols, and more. Now, we noticed a statement online that clarifies the health acknowledgment.
The global health crisis has had a huge impact on the travel industry, particularly for cruise lines.

After the state of California began distributing COVID-19 vaccinations, Disneyland (which remains closed due to the global health crisis) was chosen as the state’s first mass vaccination site.

As a result, the Toy Story parking lot at Disneyland opened as a vaccination site in January. However, winter storms across the U.S. have created some problems for the vaccination location.
Disney is always changing one way or another. Whether prices are being adjusted, attractions are being closed and opened, or guest habits are varying; you’ll usually spot SOMETHING different year-to-year in the World.

This is especially true in the wake of the global health crisis. A lot had to change in a very short time. Some of those changes are going to disappear while others may be permanent. It’s entirely possible that a 2022 Disney World will look TOTALLY different from a 2021 Disney World (which was already a weird enough year to begin with!).
So, if you’re looking at taking that Disney trip in the next few years, you might be wondering if it’s better to schedule for this year or hold off until 2022. We’re here to help! We’re taking a look at the biggest differences and whether you should get that trip set for this year or next!

The last year has had a lot of ups and downs for the Disney theme parks around the globe. The worldwide pandemic forced every single park to close and the road to a full reopening has been rocky at times. Some parks, Disneyland included, remain closed.
