Today, Disney’s Epcot and Hollywood Studios park opened their doors to guests for the first time since they closed on March 15.
Disney World has been implementing important updates to promote enhanced cleaning, physical distancing and reduced contact.
Attendance is currently limited and managed via the Disney Parks Pass reservation system, face coverings are required for all guests (ages 2 and up) and temperature screenings are required for entry.
Hollywood Studios is the only one of the four parks to reach its reservation capacity for opening day in Disney’s new park reservation system. As of Thursday morning, it was booked and unavailable for the next eight days. None of the other parks have hit reservation capacity yet for any single day.
The reopening of Epcot and Hollywood Studios also comes at a busy time for the global entertainment giant: Disneyland Paris in France opened earlier today while Disneyland Hong Kong had to close just shy of a month after reopening because of a surge of Covid-19 cases there.
Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom opened on July 11.
