Poll 13 results - Are Theme Park Temperature Tests a Good Idea? 

Another one of the likely measures that will be put into place is temperature testing at the gates. This again is a controversial issue which many of you find to be of little use due to the fact that a percentage of COVID-19 carriers can be asymptomatic and therefore won't display a temperature. There are also people stating that you can be carrying the virus for 5 days before showing any symptoms. Will people choose to take Tylenol before entering to ensure they pass the test? Many also commented that due to the heat in Florida you could show a temperature anyway.

Here are the results so far...

43% of our readers have voted yes they think they are a good idea with the remaining 57% saying no. I think this again shows that there is a high proportion of people who want to get back to the parks and will put up with any measure they have to so as to be able to experience the Disney again. The theme parks have to be doing everything they can to ensure they keep guests as safe as possible while the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Poll 14 - Do You Think The Disney Reopening Plan is Going To Work? 

So here it is, the outline of the latest Disney Reopening Plan for the US as it currently stands:

  • Disney Springs and Downtown Disney will open first as part of a phased reopening with news yesterday that Disney Springs Officially Begins Phased Reopening May 20.
  • Virtual queues will be used to maintain social distancing.
  • Disney has confirmed that they will be using "enhanced screening procedures" at the front of their parks, which likely means that touchless temperature checks will be used at the gates.
  • Some mandatory mask usage will be needed, although it is currently unknown if Cast Members, guests or both will be required to use this type of personal protective equipment.

As you can see, a lot of the detail still needs to be finalized and we will bring you all the latest updates as soon as they are announced. Be sure to check out our news page daily! So here are your choices for the poll, Do You Think The Disney Reopening Plan is Going To Work?:

  • Yes, it seems to be a good balanced plan to deal with the current situation.
  • No, keep the parks shut.
  • Maybe, but the plan needs changes

There are still questions that are yet to be answered including the one on everyone's lips "When will Walt Disney World actually open?", as well as whether Disney will be implementing physical distancing markers like they have in China or will be limiting dining to quick service or pickup only.
