According to BlogMickey.com sources, Disney is testing digitally adding a face mask onto guests’ faces who are either not wearing a face mask or wearing it incorrectly during on-ride photos. The testing is happening at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom ahead of a parks-wide rollout if deemed successful.
For guests who are not wearing a face mask for an on-ride photo, Disney will still censor the photo if viewed at a post-ride viewing area. Then Disney will digitally add a face mask to the guests’ face before making the photo available for downloading on the My Disney Experience app or Disney website.
Much like the current magic shots, this is a manual process. If you’ve visited Walt Disney World recently, you may have noticed photos don’t appear as quickly as they used to. This is because the photos are being manually checked for mask adherence before hitting your account.
Disney World rules say that guests must wear their face coverings at all times (including on rides) except when eating or drinking. To test that Disney is doing this would require us to break the park rules, which we will not do. Hopefully this is the type of thing that isn’t widely needed and guests will follow the face mask rules for their safety and the safety of others.

I am begrudgingly wearing the mask. I hate them, and the only way I can breathe in them is to put a couple drops pf peppermint oil inside them to open up my sinuses. I have a deviated septum and allergies, so breathing theough my nose on any given day is a rare blessing. I have been to Disney since pandemic and found it surreal. Weird to look around and see no smiles. Has to be hard on the cast members. All that being said, I made up my mind early on, that I wasn’t spending more money at an already expensive place, with diminished experiences as it is, just to get a bunch of pictures where I can’t see anybody’s face. It’s stupid. Let them do what they want, I’m not buying it. I am stuck with the poor investment of Disney Vacation Club and having to use, bank, ot lose my points as it is.
Unless of course, you’re Jason Aldean!!! I have no problem with people taking their masks for pictures, but Disney, your rules should apply to EVERYONE. Rules for most, but not for all!
Excellent. Happy to see you are staying away.
Well, that just made me remove all of my reservations for this upcoming December, February, April and July.
No one wants pictures from Disney with a mask on. Why don’t they digitally insert smiles instead?
But why?? Yeah, they should be wearing one but what difference does it make putting one in digitally??
I’m so confused. Aren’t guests wearing mask to either keep them from getting it or keep them from spreading it, whatever the sCiEnCe says? Clearly this isn’t about safety if they are adding a fake mask. Clearly this is just about the covering of your face. The question everyone should be trying to answer is why…
We don’t need disney or the governement to tell us how to keep ourselves safe. The “virus” has made only 3% of our entire country sick in a year’s time! Enough with the propaganda!
Only a moron would wear a mask to Disneyworld and only a sociopath would put one on their child…
Who would actually bother going to Disney World with some rules like this? These tickets should be free if they want anyone besides the far-left to bother visiting. They must’ve got their theme park confused with a tuberculosis ward.
🤦♂️
Please never visit.
