Walt Disney World Park’s “Relaxation Stations”

As The Walt Disney World Resort prepares to open to the public on July 11, 2020, many social distancing safety procedures have been put into place. One of the new requirements for visiting the Parks is to wear the appropriate mask to help keep guests safe from the spread of COVID-19. All guests from 2 years old and up are required to wear a mask. As guests visit The Walt Disney World parks during the summer months, the heat and humidity might make wearing a mask uncomfortable. For those in need of a “Mask Break”, Disney Parks have come up with their own “Relaxation Stations”. These “Relaxation Stations” will provide a safe and socially distanced area that will allow families a place to have a “Mask Break”.

Each “Relaxation Station” will have chairs and tables that have been social distanced with 10 feet between each of them. The guests will notice that some of the tables and benches have been marked with “For your Health and Safety this table is not available” signs to keep social distancing requirements. Some of the “Relaxation Stations” will be located inside, providing air-conditioning to those who need a “Mask Break”. The guest will also notice direction arrows when they enter the “Relaxation Station” area. Each area has it’s own entrance and exit, helping keep the flow of guests following the social distance guidelines as they enjoy their day at the Disney Parks.
