Hello fellow travelers!

With all the uncertainty these days, it can seem challenging to find joy in even the simplest of things. So you can imagine how excited we were to hear that Walt Disney World was opening its doors to welcome us back “home.”

Although the idea of bringing back all the magic was invigorating, we could not ignore the anxiety that this pandemic has caused us as a global community. With this in mind, we were impressed at Walt Disney World’s efforts to make all their guests feel safe and secure.

Not only did we feel like we had the parks to ourselves (due to limiting the number of guests) but felt incredibly safe throughout our whole experience.

But you may be asking yourself, how is Disney Parks keeping us safe? Well, here some ways they are making sure we are all safe!

Your Health and Wellness is Disney’s Main priority!

In accordance with CDC guidelines, Disney has made it their priority to put your health first! They are doing this by reducing capacity in the parks using their new Disney Park Pass System which allows its guests to choose the day they will be going to the parks and helps Disney keep the number of guests they have in the park low.

Physical Distancing made easy

After parking your car (spaced out for physical distancing), you are guided towards the temperature check tents. Once your temperature is checked you are passed through security, which I found to be a lot faster due to their new security machines which minimized the need for a physical search of your bag. If needed, you will be taken to another area where a more thorough search will take place.

In their commitment to helping promote the physical distancing between guests, Disney Parks has added physical distancing markers as well as installed physical barrier in areas where physical distancing maybe difficult to maintain (i.e. rides, cash registers, etc.)

You will be required to wear face coverings

Both cast members and guests ages two and older must wear face-covering unless you are swimming or when you are eating and drinking. Disney really does enforce this policy throughout the parks and resorts so be sure to don your face covering before arriving at the park.

Hand washing & sanitizing stations are EVERYWHERE!

From walking to the monorail to getting off your favorite ride, hand sanitizing stations are everywhere in the park. You will not go very long before seeing a place where you can sanitize or clean your hands. I thought it was interesting that you will be asked to hand sanitize before you enter a ride and upon exiting. Also, rides are routinely paused to be cleaned for your health and wellness.

Cast Member Training at its best!

From the moment you enter the parks, you are met with enthusiastic and joyful cast members who want to share all the magic with you all over again! Cast members have been trained to understand the new measures needed to keep Disney Parks running safely and smoothly. This includes conducting their own health screening before starting their shifts and increased frequency of their cleaning in the work areas!

Using technology to promote health and safety!

The My Disney Experience App will allow its guests to know exactly where you can find hand sanitizing stations, relaxation stations (an area to take your mask off), and explore digital menus. Disney Parks are promoting limited contact options to their guests from mobile ordering to cashless payments to help promote physical distancing.

We will get through this together!

Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts are truly promoting the importance of health and safety in our communities with their new policies. Disney Parks is proactively communicating with its guests keeping them updated and letting them know what to expect upon their visit.

This past June, Disney Parks introduced, “Together We Can Make Today Incredible” a health and safety campaign that spotlights healthy behaviors featuring our favorite characters from the Incredibles animated movies!

Although some things may have changed, the magic and wonder that Disney brings to its guests never faded! We had an incredible time experiencing Disney Parks and whole heartedly believe that they are doing their part to keep their guests safe. I think its safe to say that although the park was temporarily closed, the wonder of Disney magic never really left.

...and we cannot wait to go back again!

We wanted to give a BIG thank you to all of Disney’s incredible cast members for their fantastic commitment to bringing back all the reasons why we love Disney…If you are looking for more information on Disney Parks measures to promote the health and safety of its guests, click here!

As always travelers…stay safe and remember to follow CDC guidelines to stay safe today and everyday!
