World will reopen this July, after being forced to close for several months due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Disney World and SeaWorld execs presented reopening proposals to the Florida’s Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force on Tuesday, both of which were approved. Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom plan to open again on July 11, while Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15. SeaWorld, meanwhile, will reopen to the public on June 11.
Disney’s Orlando theme parks will look a little different this summer. New requirements include temperature checks upon arrival, physical distancing, enhanced cleaning, hand-washing and sanitizing stations and “limited-contact enhancements,” such as contactless payments, mobile orders at restaurants, according to Disney World senior vice president of operations Jim McPhee.
“High-touch experiences” such as character meet-and-greets and playgrounds will be temporarily suspended. The parks will operate at reduced capacity and temporarily suspend parades and other events that attract crowds. Those who work at the park will also be given temperature checks and issued face coverings.
