3. Social distancing and limited contact policies will be in place

In addition to the face coverings, temperature checks, and limited entry points, Disney will be implementing some strict social distancing measures to help keep guests and Cast Members away from each other, including the following:

Physical barriers in some locations where it is hard to have social distancing like around cash registers and at Guest Relations.
Floor markings that will remind guests to stay away from others
Limiting capacity at venues
Offering cashless payments at all venues

Of course, in addition to all of these measures, Disney has said that they will increase cleaning and disinfection in high-traffic areas like handrails, elevators and escalators, tables, benches, handles, and restrooms. They have also installed hand sanitizer and hand-washing locations.

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.

We will not attend until masks are optional to wear! Disney needs to provide proof that the masks protect me from getting sick! I don’t care that people wear the masks just don’t make it a requirement.

My family and I will not be visiting Disney Springs with these restrictions in place. We don't want to ruin the Disney experience we've known and loved. Plus the masks can actually be harmful to your own health when worn for extended periods of time.
