Hi, Christopher! It's great to see you back here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Those of us who consider
Cinderella Castle our second home were very excited when
Walt Disney World Resort recently announced its
plan for reopening. Walt Disney World Resort has been following the guidance of health authorities and government agencies to design a plan for reopening that protects the health and safety of Guests and Cast Members. Although things may be a little different from the last time you visited, I'm sure you and your family will still experience many
Disney Magic Moments together during your upcoming trip.
As you prepare for your vacation, it is important to note that while visiting Walt Disney World Resort, all Guests ages 2 and up will be required to wear
face coverings. Face masks must be worn at all times, except while dining or swimming. It sounds like you may have already purchased some of the adorable
Disney face masks that are available for pre-order from shopDisney. I ordered some for my family as well. My daughter is really excited about the "Baby Yoda" face mask that is part of the Star Wars set.
When I placed my shopDisney pre-order for my face masks, I was given an expected shipping date of late June. I talked to several of my friends who also ordered face masks, and it seems that the expected shipping date varied based on when the pre-order was placed. Our expected shipping dates ranged from mid-June to mid-July. My friend and fellow panelist,
Kristin, just received an email notification yesterday saying her masks have shipped. While I cannot guarantee when your order will ship, if I had to guess, I think you'll have them in plenty of time for your September vacation.
As you get ready for your visit, be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the
operational updates page on the Walt Disney World website to hEAR all of the latest news and announcements regarding the reopening procedures. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
See ya real soon!
