Today, we’ve got an update about Disney World’s Cast Member vaccination policy.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney World has paused its vaccination requirement, following new legislation from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis preventing companies from having vaccination requirements for continued employment. However, unvaccinated Cast Members can still be required to do frequent testing and wear protective gear like masks and gloves under the new law.
