Disney has kept us on our toes this week with so many announcements. When Walt Disney World first presented their proposal for the July 11, 2020 reopening date of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, they announced a new reservation system would be used to maintain limited capacity.
Disney Statements
Recently, a fellow KtP writer shared restrictions that would be implemented in the Parks and Disney Springs.
Disney released the following statement: “Additionally attractions, experiences, services and amenities may have limited availability or may remain closed. We will provide more information as it becomes available. We reserve the right to cancel any reservation, admission media or purchases and provide applicable refunds. Please see our policy regarding cancellations by guests.”
Disney also provided the following statement saying that health and safety of Cast Members and guests are the top priority: “Our focus remains on the health and safety of the entire Disney community- including the well-being of the Cast Members who are caring for and securing our parks and Resorts during the closure. We’re currently evaluating new and enhanced safety measures to help us all stay well.”

I think Universal have got it right. Disney don’t appear to want any one to go. Glad you’re having a good time. Have a drink in Margaritaville for me.

We’re out of state (Georgia) and we’re in Moe’s Tavern at Universal now. Not bad here at all. Lots of hand sanitizing and distancing, but a great day in the parks!

Noting the daily increase in C19 cases in Florida do you think they’ve opened too soon ? I can see everything shutting down again. It could be down to increase testing but regardless it is concerning.the asymtompatic can still unwittingly pass to the vulnerable.
Kenny, do you think there is no chance of international and out of state visitors this year ?
