Universal Studios Orlando has updated its mask policy. Today the resort announced on its website that face coverings are no longer required outdoors. This doesn’t mean that face coverings are completely eliminated for guests, however. They will still be required for all indoor locations. Masks will also be required for all attractions. The requirement will begin the moment a guest enters a queue and continue until the guest exits the entire attraction’s experience.
The updates come as theme parks in Florida continue their phased reopening and return to normal after closing last year due to the coronavirus. At this point, Walt Disney World Resort has not updated its face covering policies. DAPS MAGIC will continue to follow this story and provide updates as they become available.
Here is the new official new guidelines for face coverings from the Universal Studios Orlando website:
