Boats will run at the Magic Kingdom, but not at Epcot or Disney's Hollywood Studios

Right now it looks like the Ferryboat between the Ticket and Transportation Center as well as boat shuttles from Magic Kingdom-area resorts will run when the theme park reopens. However, Friendship Boat service from Epcot to nearby resorts will not be available upon reopening.

Parking Lot Trams will NOT be running

Though transportation between theme parks and resorts/ Disney Springs will still largely remain available, it looks like parking lot trams will not be running when the theme parks reopen, and guests will need to walk from the parking lot to the park entrance or to the monorail/ferry at the Transportation and Ticket Center for Magic Kingdom.

Minnie Van service will not be available until further notice

As of right now, Minnie Vans direct service has been discontinued indefinitely, and it is unclear when it may return to Walt Disney World. 

Though it looks like most transportation options will be available at Walt Disney World when it reopens next week, it is interesting that Disney is foregoing "non essential" transportation options like the Minnie Vans and parking trams, at least for now these options won't be available. 

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

Creating such negatively titled articles as click-bait is disappointing and does little to build morale among the Disney staff who are so eager to return to work as the parks begin reopening. How about focusing on the positive, and leave out the speculation? Minnie Vans and trams *WILL* return to the Florida parks in good time. These are unprecedented times for Disney, and for all tourist attraction operators around the entire world. Trying to develop plans that cover all bases and ensure safe and responsible reopening while COVID-19 is still seriously affecting the USA takes time. Disney at least is smart enough not to rush headlong into this -they recognize that their brand, as well as the safety of their employees and guests is too important. to get it horribly wrong.
