2. Crowds will be controlled through limited parking access, and dining reservations will not guarantee you entry
Though we've been wondering about capacity caps since Disney first announced the reopening of Disney Springs, it looks like the shopping and dining destination will be controlling crowds by offering parking on a first come, first serve basis. Once the Lime and Orange parking garages are full (which have a combined capacity of about 12,000), no overflow parking will be permitted and guests will not be able to get in to Disney Springs at all. Interestingly, Disney has specified that guests with dining reservations will NOT be automatically let in to Disney Springs, so it might be a good idea to try and arrive early to ensure you make your reservation.
3. Masks and temperature checks will be required
Like next-door neighbor Universal CityWalk, all guests visiting Disney Springs must wear a mask during their entire visit to the shopping and dining district (except when eating). And according to Disney's recent FAQ, it was revealed that if a guest does not have a face covering, Disney has said that they may be able to provide a temporary mask, but such a measure is not guaranteed and guests could be turned away if no temporary masks are available, as all guests above the age of three will be required to wear a mask with no exceptions.
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.

Do you know what time they will starting letting people park in garages on Wednesday morning? I saw that most of the restaurants are opening around 1130am, but I'm hoping they will start letting people park their cars and begin the temp screening process before that.
