Disney Springs, a part of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, has announced
its reopening for today, May 20, following the implementation of a set of measures
aimed at ensuring the health of the guests in coordination with guidelines
established by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other
government agencies. The list of sites that will be operating include several
shopping and dining locations.
Disney Springs recognizes the risk of COVID-19 and
encourages guests to access the facilities with their own precautions. The plan
for reopening includes several safety measures that will lead guests to enjoy a
safe experience despite the outbreak. Some of the measures include requiring
all guests ages three and up, cast members, and employees to wear a face-covering
mask at all times except when dining, as well as rigorous temperature
screenings to be conducted upon arrival at the site. Parking and entrances will
also be restricted and monitored, and cashless transactions will be encouraged
in order to minimize contact between guests. Additionally, several cleaning and
sanitation stations have been installed in high-traffic areas of the site, and
cast members and employees have received training in order to abide by the new
health measures.
Disney Springs requests that people be patient and
understanding as they navigate the best way possible to operate safely while
providing a magical experience for their guests during these unprecedented
times.
