The theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom — have already begun filling all rows on select attractions and inside some theaters as well as removed social distancing markers from some queue lines for rides.
Now, we are seeing social distancing markers also disappear from other areas of the theme parks.

Reddit user rush02112 posted a photo showing social distancing markers being removed as you can clearly see in the photo where the sticker used to sit. They wrote:
At this time we are unsure of where exactly this photo was taken within Walt Disney World, but the removal of the social distancing markers is just another step in the theme parks phased reopening approach.
Inside the Magic will continue to update you on the safety protocols at Walt Disney World.
And one of the biggest changes so far is that the Disney Skyliner is now loading multiple parties into the gondolas. This is a pretty big change as when Walt Disney World reopened last July, due to the ongoing pandemic, Disney was only seating one party per Skyliner gondola. This was enforced in order to keep Guests safe while traveling throughout Disney property.
Temporary adjustments are still in place to promote physical distancing. While we will reduce physical distancing measures for Guests across many areas with a gradual, phased approach, six-feet distancing measures will continue in all dining locations, merchandise stores and in areas where Guests can temporarily remove their masks.
Physical distancing measures may include:
Signage and Ground Markings: Please follow directional signage and ground markings, which have been installed throughout Walt Disney World Resort to help Guests better navigate common areas while practicing physical distancing.
Physical Barriers: Physical barriers have been added in select places to help promote proper separation between people, including in queues and on transportation and attractions. Barriers may also be visible, for example, in areas around cash registers or at Guest Relations.
Party Size: Guests traveling in parties of more than 10 are asked to split into smaller groups in queues, dining locations and other areas around our parks and resorts to better allow for physical distancing.
Parking: Cashless payment is recommended at the auto plazas.
Training: Cast Members are trained to engage with Guests and promote physical distancing guidelines in common areas and queues.
