The coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted tourism all around the United States. While Disney World has opened back up for some guests, and while most are wearing masks, on occasion, people without masks come to the park. Some people don’t wear masks due to medical issues. Disney World, like other amusement parks, takes photographs of people on rides.
The theme park said that in response to requests from guests that it had ran a test where it modified some ride photos. The modification would put a digital facemask onto the face of riders who weren’t wearing one. Disney World has now stopped placing digital facemasks on riders.

Last week, a picture hit the internet that had Walt Disney World fans scratching their heads. It was a picture taken from inside the Dinosaur ride at Disney s Animal Kingdom that appeared to include a guest who had a face covering photoshopped onto their face. It seemed that this had been a move made by Walt Disney World in order to better promote the wearing of face coverings. However, since Disney World had said nothing about this new process earlier, it was also possible that the rough photoshopping job had been taken by somebody after the fact. Now Walt Disney World has issued a statement that s confirmed the photoshop work was its own.
