Here’s what Disney World will look like when it opens in July: You won’t be able to hug Mickey
By now we know Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom are opening July 11. Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are set to reopen July 15. Protocols will include: requiring guests to wear face coverings and have their temperatures screened before entering. The parks will also have more handwashing and sanitizing stations installed. Jim MacPhee, senior vice president of operations at the park, says “We will temporarily suspend parades, fireworks, and other events that create crowds. In an effort to reduce contact between guests and employees, Disney World will ramp up mobile food ordering options, and character meet and greets and play areas will be temporarily on pause.”
Park capacity will also be limited to help with social distancing. Guests will be required to place a reservation for park entry before their visit.
“We hope everyone will do their part to bring the magic of Walt Disney World back into this new environment,” MacPhee said.
