Disney World announced its plans for reopening from its coronavirus pandemic shutdown after they were approved yesterday, May 27th by an Orlando, Florida, task force. They call for Disney to reopen the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th, and Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has to give final approval.
They will open with limited capacity (so it definitely won’t look like the above photo), although not revealed was what percentage of capacity will be allowed in, and advance reservations will have to be made for entry. Employees and guests will be required to wear face masks and social distancing will be enforced. There also will be temperature checks for employees and guests before entering the parks.
Events that cause people to gather, including fireworks shows, character meet-and-greets and parades, will be suspended. SeaWorld in Orlando also announced plans to reopen on June 11th, and Universal Orlando said last week it plans to reopen on June 5th.
