Disney World in Orlando (but not Disneyland) is following the science and will end temperature screening

Some areas of the resorts, however, will still require it:

To be clear, Disney World IS following the science here:

Removing temperature checks lines up with all the science and is aligned with CDC guidelines. It makes sense and was inevitable.

Disney: "Since reopening, we have considered guidance from public health authorities, government agencies, and our own team of health and safety experts as we assess and update health and safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19."

Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, however? Not so much:

And just to be abundantly clear — this announcement does not impact Disneyland. As of right now, temperature screenings are still required at Disneyland Resort.

FWIW, Disney’s crosstown rival Universal Orlando has already ended temperature checks:

And other restrictions at Disney World remain in place:

Disney still requires park reservations to limit capacity, and face coverings must be worn in the parks.
