Disney Springs is Back in Full Effect Amidst Covid

We had Shanghai reopen its park almost two weeks ago. Hong Kong is currently doing soft openings with cast members. Today, Disney Springs in Orlando, FL, officially opened its doors at 10 AM on May 20, 2020. The parks in Disney World are not open just yet, but we know that date is coming soon as current information suggests that date could be July 1st, 2020. No current news for Disneyland in California or Disneyland Paris on when those could begin a reopening process. However, we will take what we can get and be happy that we finally have something back to a somewhat normal state.

Disney owned retail stores and restaurants are not open yet, but we will see those begin opening next week on May 27th. At the moment, there are only third-party retailers open and operating, such as Chicken Guy!, Zara, Planet Hollywood, and more. Almost every location is open, but they are operating with certain limitations.

Masks are required at all times on property because it is still classified as a Disney property. Every person enters after going through a bag check and temperature check. As long as your temperature reads less than 100.4, sources say, then you will be allowed through. If your temperature reads above 100.4, you will be asked to step away for a recheck. If one guest in a group runs a temperature, the entire group will not be allowed to enter.

There are social distancing orders in place, as well. Markers have been set on the ground of all stores and eateries. They show each group an easy way to stand six feet apart, whether you’re waiting to get into the store or waiting at the register inside. They have also made this easier on guests by limiting the number of guests allowed in a building at one time. Tables are even being spaced out farther than normal to accommodate the six-foot spacing.

We are excited to see how and when they will open Downtown Disney in California and Disney World and Disneyland parks. Stay tuned for more news on those events, hopefully coming soon!
