Plexiglass Being Removed From Queues — 2 Foolish Mortals

Plexiglass dividers were added to ride queues when the parks reopened last year after an extended closure. These dividers stretched through the queues and prevented close contact between guests who were standing in close proximity to one another by creating a physical barrier.

Though effective, these plexiglass dividers came with their own set of challenges. In some cases, they could made the queues feel very small and a bit uncomfortable [such is the case with Grand Fiesta Tour] and in others they held a bit of heat and prevented a bit of airflow, making for what felt like an overly warm experience waiting in line. [We experienced this both at Slinky Dog Dash and Pirates of the Caribbean.]

The days of plexiglass dividers are coming to a close though!

All around Walt Disney World plexiglass is slowly being removed from ride queues. This is just one of the many health and safety protocols that has been relaxed in the past few weeks leading up to the peak summer season at the theme park.

The list of attractions that have removed plexiglass continues to grow, but includes some of our favorites: Peter Pan’s Flight, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. We anticipate that we’ll see even more rides added to the list in the coming months as Walt Disney World makes its way back towards those pre-pandemic normals that we’ve all been hoping for.
