According to the Disney Parks Blog, the uniform face mask project was inspired by “a need for a more unified and breathable face covering” for staffers. Amid the COVID-19 health crisis, all cast members and guests over age 2 are required to wear face masks within the parks.
Made of a lightweight material with a blue design with Mickey Mouse-shaped constellations, cast members can choose between pleated and contoured styles in a variety of sizes. Both the pleated and contoured versions of the mask have adjustable spandex for the ears, an extended nose pinch for the face and a contoured design to fit snugly beneath the eyes, the parks blog said.
