A lot will depend on the openings of Universal CityWalk and Disney Springs

This week Universal Orlando Resort has begin opening CityWalk and next week select locations at Disney Springs will be reopening as well. And while allowing guests in to shopping and dining areas is a lot different than running a full-scale theme park, we'd guess that Disney and Universal will be looking closely to see how guests react to social distancing measures, as well as using masks and submitting to temperature checks.

If guests can follow the rules without much involvement from Cast/Team Members, it may give Disney and Universal confidence about eventually opening up their theme parks as soon as it is safe to do so. However, if guests don't remember to wear masks, or don't adhere to social distancing inside these shopping and dining areas, it may make it harder to open the theme parks eventually. 

Right now, it is looking like July 1 is still a "best case" scenario for a US Disney parks reopening, but at this point things are not looking great for guests wanting a summer visit to Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort. 

As always, while this situation is evolving, all theme park fans should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
