Disney Cruise Line to Drop Vaccination Requirements

Disney Cruise Line has once again updated their health and safety policies. Guests will no longer be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning October 14, 2022 on the Disney Dream, Fantasy, Wish and Wonder, and November 7, 2022 on the Disney Magic.

Below are the new requirements from the Disney Cruise Line website:
