Despite having 52,255 coronavirus cases in the state of Florida, Walt Disney World plans to reopen in July
Florida’s Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen to limited capacity on July 11th, while Epcot and Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th. Walt Disney World presented a proposal to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force on Tuesday. SeaWorld also plans to reopen to the public on June 11th.
According to Jim McPhee, Disney World senior vice president of operations, reopening to the public means taking necessary precautions. All visitors will be given temperature checks and face coverings upon arrival, while hand-washing at sanitizing stations and social distancing will be practiced throughout the parks.
Contactless payments and mobile orders also will be made at the parks’ restaurants and stores. Sadly, meet-and-greets with Disney characters will be suspended until further notice, as well as parades and other events. Walt Disney World closed in early March amid the pandemic, its first time shutting down since the September 11th attacks in 2001.
