Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) extended its transportation mask mandate. The mandate was supposed to end on April 18 but was extended through May 3, 2022. The mandate requires people to wear masks while on public transportation such as planes, trains, and buses.

A Florida judge has now ruled against the CDC’s mask mandate. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Florida has ordered the mandate is now void. You can see the whole order here.
“The agencies are reviewing the decision and assessing potential next steps,” the Biden administration official said Monday night. “In the meantime, today’s court decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time. Therefore, TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time.

Currently, Walt Disney World only requires guests to wear face masks while on select transportation like the monorail and buses. Disney World’s mask rules are as follows:
“As we have done since reopening, we’ve been very intentional and gradual in our approach to our COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Based on recent trends and regulatory guidance, Walt Disney World Resort will be making adjustments to these measures, which may continue to change at any time without notice.
Face coverings are optional for fully vaccinated Guests in both outdoor and indoor locations. We expect Guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters. Face coverings are still required by all Guests (ages 2 and up) on Disney buses and monorails.
All face coverings (whether disposable or reusable) should:
- Be made with at least 2 layers of breathable material
- Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin
- Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
- Be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the Guest to remain hands-free
At this time, based on guidance from health authorities, neck gaiters, open-chin, triangle bandanas and face coverings containing valves, mesh material or holes of any kind are not acceptable face coverings.“
