DISNEY WORLD TO STOP EDITING MASKS ONTO GUESTS IN RIDE PHOTOS: REPORT
Starting Jan. 5, 2021, guests who purchase a non-discounted, four-night, three-day room and ticket package at select branded hotels "for arrivals most nights" from Jan. 8 through Sept. 25 will score another two days of theme park tickets, too.
Though the deal seems to be designed to draw foot traffic, Jeremy Schoolfied of Walt Disney World Resort Public Relations stressed that health and safety protocol remains paramount.
"As a reminder, Walt Disney World continues to operate with enhanced health and safety policies so everyone can enjoy the magic responsibly," Schoolfied said. "To manage attendance, guests are required to have valid theme park admission and make a park reservation for each day of their visit through the Disney Park Pass system."
