Things have been CHANGING at Disney properties all over the world!
Shanghai Disneyland is closed, Hong Kong Disneyland will be closed until April 20th (at least for now), vaccine requirements were relaxed in Disneyland Paris, and not too long ago, mask rules changed in Disney World too. In terms of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa (in Hawaii) we shared that some travel rules in the state would be changing in late March, and now MORE changes have been made.
The website for Aulani has been updated to note a number of changes. For starters, the Safe Travels program has officially ended in Hawaii, meaning there are no longer any COVID-19 requirements for arriving domestic guests. International guests, however, may still have certain travel restrictions when it comes to visiting Hawaii.
But other changes have also recently been made at this resort specifically when it comes to mask requirements. Aulani’s website now notes that masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests in most indoor locations.
The website also notes that Disney expects guests who are not fully vaccinated to keep wearing masks at all indoor locations.
A chart on the website specifies the changes. At most indoor locations (including the Laniwai Spa and restaurants), fully vaccinated guests now have the option to wear or not wear a mask. Masks continue to be optional for all guests (regardless of vaccination status) in outdoor areas.
Of course, rules are subject to change again. If you’ll be heading to Aulani, be sure to check for updates ahead of your trip.
