I visited Disney Springs a week after it reopened and saw why the theme park giant will be able to reopen its parks without a hitch in July
Shoshy Ciment/Business Insider, the sprawling retail and entertainment center of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, reopened on May 20.
Disney knows what it's doing, in terms of preserving the Disney magic while maintaining a superior standard of safety that would make even the most neurotic Disney fan feel safe.As a lifelong Floridian and Disney fan from birth, the pandemic has been an especially difficult time. Disney Springs is running at reduced capacity from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and requiring guests to maintain social distancing and wear face coverings at all times. While most stores and restaurants are up-and-running again, some — such as Rainforest Cafe and Goofy's Candy Co. — are still closed for the time being.
After my visit to Disney Springs, I have no doubt that the parks' reopening next month will be a success. However, heading straight to the parks might not be for everyone, especially if you find wearing a face mask uncomfortable during extremely hot Florida summers.
