The statement goes on to say, “Additionally, as a reminder for families visiting the depot for graduation week activities mitigation efforts to include face masks being worn in all indoor facilities, social distancing, etc., are still being enforced aboard the depot.”

Families who have already paid for their meal will receive a full refund. If you have a loved one about to graduate, make sure keep an eye on any announcements the Depot may make.
