Here's what has changed at Disney World and what remains the same after nearly four months of the parks being closed down because of Covid-19
I was one of the first guests back in Disney World on Saturday after nearly four months of the parks being closed down because of Covid-19.The world's changed since my last visit. Most recently,But I donned my mask and packed my sanitizer because I was ready to see what this new Disney had in store for its guests.
Even without a DVC membership, I was able to book a stay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for opening weekend. On opening day at Universal Orlando, an employee dispensed hand sanitizer to each person getting on a ride. Its use was mandatory. At Disney, there are thousands of dispensers of hand sanitizer, but no mandate that guests must use it.
At the 2019 D23 Convention, Disney announced a major renovation of Epcot, including new rides such as Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and a Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster. It's possible to find the occasional deal on things like early 2020 merchandise in shops inside the park, which is a rarity at this time of year.Temperature checks and masks requirement, no matter how hot and humid the day of your visit, may be off-putting to others.If you've never been to Disney and you've been dreaming of visiting this year, it might be better to wait.
