We’ve seen changes in the face mask requirements in Disney World and Disneyland as well as updates in Universal Studios theme parks. There have also been changes when it comes to vaccine requirements for both guests and staff members. Now there’s a new update to the vaccine policy at Disney Cruise Line.

Previously, Disney Cruise Line required all guests ages 12 and older to show proof of vaccination before boarding the ship. Guests ages 11 and younger were required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken between 24 hours and 3 days before boarding.
