A phased reopening has begun at Disney Springs and more and more third party stores and restaurants will follow in the future. Following the guidance of government and health officials, limited number of shopping and dining experiences that are owned by third-party operating participants will begin to open during this initial phase. Remember, the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort will remain closed, which includes theme parks and resort hotels. Below you can find a statement from Disney.
As we continue to monitor conditions, and with the health of guests and Disney cast members at the forefront of our planning, we are making several operational changes. Disney Springs will begin to reopen in a way that incorporates enhanced safety measures, including increased cleaning procedures, the use of appropriate face coverings by both cast members and guests, limited-contact guest services and additional safety training for cast members. We will apply learnings and ideas from leaders in the health and travel industries, and we’re also talking to our unions as we prepare for some cast members to return to work.
During this initial opening phase, Disney Springs will have limitations on capacity, parking and operating hours. Given this unprecedented situation, we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we navigate through this process as responsibly as we can. Additional protocols and procedures may be announced closer to the opening date. Please check DisneySprings.com as we get closer to May 20 for the most current information on operating hours, locations and safety procedures.
