Following the opening of Shanghai Disneyland, and the apparent imminent reopening of the park in Hong King, the first two parks to close when the scope of the COVID-19 outbreak was realized, Disney Parks announced plans to begin a phased reopening of Walt Disney World, by first opening a few locations at Disney Springs, the resort’s major marketplace.
While precautions were to be taken, including temperature checks at the entrance and a requirement that all guests wear face coverings, it was also made clear that guests would be expected to take responsibility for themselves.
