Previously, Tokyo Disney Resort Guests age two and older were required to wear face masks at all times — except when adequately distanced outside in extreme heat and humidity. The new guidance makes masks optional for Guests who have not yet entered elementary school. Until September 1, the following requirements remain in place:
- Guests are required to wear masks at all times inside the Parks (optional for Guests under the age of 2), except when dining. However, to prevent heat stroke during the summer season when the temperature and humidity are high, masks may be removed if Guests are outdoors with adequate distance from others.
International Guests are still barred from visiting Japan on their own. Still, they may visit Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and the rest of Japan by booking a package tour, showing negative COVID-19 test results, and obtaining a visa – if visiting from the United States or Canada.
