Disney Springs began it’s phased reopening last week, but when Disney World’s theme parks will reopen is still a mystery. Once they do reopen, you can expect substantially lower crowds than you are accustomed to seeing, according to recent reports.
Disney World could reopen with crowd sizes somewhere between 20 to 30-percent of regular capacity, according to a recent report from WESH.
Following the coronavirus crisis, Florida has become one of the first states in the nation to reopen its economy. Resorts like Disney World can reopen to the public if they submit a plan to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force and it is approved.
Disney World has yet to submit a reopening plan to the Task Force. News has since surfaced suggesting Disney will submit the report this week, according to Flordia Governor Ron DeSantis.
“Disney has given an indication that next week, they will submit their plans, and once they do, then we will schedule that for a full briefing before our Economic Recovery Task Force as well,” he explained. “So at this point, it’s an undefined time or date, but we do look forward to seeing that sometime next week.”
