Keeping dining safe

One of the trickiest things that Disney may be looking at is dining within its theme parks. Disney may be looking at reducing table service restaurant reservations by 50%, and keeping tables being spaced at least six feet apart so guests can keep their distance and feel safe while dining. In addition, Disney could roll out a "no line" policy at quick service restaurants, with Mobile Order via My Disney Experience being required for all quick service meals.

When to reopen?

Though measures like social distancing in restaurants and doing temperature checks at the park's front gates might seem extreme, they could be necessary if Walt Disney World wants to reopen any time in the near future. Right now the parks are closed until further notice, but both Walt Disney World and Disneyland have begun taking reservations for hotels beginning June 1 2020. Of course a lot will depend on the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the coming weeks, but hopefully we'll know soon if a summer opening is indeed possible. 

As we've said previously, there is no way to know exactly how long theme parks will be dealing with the effects of Coronavirus, but while this situation is continuing, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
