- Reduced capacity of theme parks, restaurant, retail, attractions, buses, monorails and other transportation that enables appropriate physical distancing
- Temperature checks at Main Entrances to theme parks
- 3rd Party screening via contactless, handheld device
- Contactless payments with Magic Bands, Apple Pay, Google Pay
- Further enable mobile ordering
- Launch of the Social Distancing Squad!! A team designed to encourage social distancing protocols
- Signage around the parks to remind guests about new health and safety measures
- Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground will begin opening on June 22nd
- Disney is dealing with the current guests who have reservations so they will not be making any new reservations at this time
This plan will need to be approved by the Governor of Florida and then Disney can begin executing their plan. Here is what Disney put out on their blog about the reopening. Yes, there are a lot of changes right now but it is super exciting that they finally have given us a plan and a reopening date.
Happy travels to you…until we meet again!
