Member-only story
Over the holiday weekend, I did what I rarely ever do…I ventured into Disney Springs located on Walt Disney World property in Orlando, Florida. Not to say I don’t enjoy Disney Springs, but traditionally, Memorial Day is the day the summer season (aka peak season) kicks off. With anxiety meds and masks at the ready, we drove down to see the changes they’ve made since COVID-19 hit.
Prior to our visit, we were aware of the rules that Disney had advertised for guests to follow:
- Masks were to be worn at all times unless eating or drinking.
- A temperature check is required and anyone with a 100.4 or higher temp will not be admitted.
- Social distancing from other groups.
Also, hand sanitizers were placed throughout the area and guests are encouraged to use them often.
Knowing all that, we thought we were prepared for what was to come.
A few things surprised us as we drove onto the property. First, only two garages were open: Orange and Lime. There was also only one entrance and one exit for both. Surface parking down by Cirq Du Solei was closed.
