Good news for Florida theme park goers and Disney fans, Walt Disney World in Orlando is reopening this weekend to guests. The popular theme park shut its doors in March due to Covid-19. Disney Springs, the outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment area reopened to guest last month.

This Saturday, July 11th, Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen to guests at a limited capacity and social distancing guidelines to help protect guests and their Cast members. Disney’s Epcot and Hollywood Studios will reopen to guests on Wednesday, July 15th.  Earlier this week, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom opened to Annual Passholders.

Walt Disney World is a little over a two-hour drive from Palm Beach County. If you plan on visiting soon here are some things to know before you go.

• Everyone over the age of two must wear a facial covering or a mask that covers their nose and mouth. Facial coverings or masks must be worn at all times except while eating or drinking.
• Guests will only be allowed to into one park per day and will make an online reservation in advance through their new Disney Park Pass System to reserve your spot in the park for that day.
• Guests will have their temperatures taken before entering that park. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will be taken to a special location for additional screening. If the temperature comes back the same number or higher, the guest will not be allowed into the park.
• Disney put in measures for physical distancing on rides, retails shops and dining restaurants.
• High traffic areas will be cleaned regularly, hand sanitizer, and hand washing stations will be available throughout the park.
