Walt Disney World officially reopened all four of its theme parks to the general public in July. Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom began welcoming guests back after an unprecedented nearly four-month closure on July 11, while EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios officially reopened their gates to guests on July 15th.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been on the ground in the parks ever since, including experiencing both cast member previews and Annual Passholder previews, which served as an opportunity for Disney to test their new health and safety protocols on groups that would more closely approximate a public crowd.
As Disney reopens in the midst of the global health crisis, our focus has been on helping you understand what to expect when you get to the newly reopened parks, as well as how to navigate Disney’s new planning systems and procedures — from the new Disney Park Pass reservation system to big changes to Disney’s hotel, park ticket, and dining reservation processes.
But, the one question everyone still has about Disney World right now is: Is it safe and should I go? We’ve got a broad perspective on this for you — with lots of quotes and specific, firsthand reporting. But we’ve also got an anecdotal perspective on this from our time in the parks and Disney Springs. I was shocked…by my own behavior. And that’s what I think is the most important part of this article for you to read. So hopefully these two sides of the coin will help you as you’re making this very important decision for yourself.
TLDR: Disney World has excellent health and safety protocols in place and, in a vacuum, should be perfectly safe. But you’re around thousands of other people who may not follow those protocols. And YOU (read: WE) could also be part of the problem. So there is a lot to consider.
Let’s dig in.
Peter Pan Queue
Should Disney World have reopened?
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, explained the decision to reopen Disney World in a recent interview with the New York Times.
“The world is changing around us, but we strongly believe that we can open safely and responsibly,” D’Amaro said. “For those that might have questions or concerns, when they see how we are operating and the aggressive protocols that we have put in place, they will understand.”
We’ve experienced these health and safety protocols firsthand and they are indeed rigorous. From near-comprehensive physical distancing procedures everywhere from resorts, to transportation, to the theme parks themselves, to ongoing cleaning and sanitization processes, Disney is without a doubt delivering on these promises, with few exceptions.
Cast Members Cleaning
And yet, COVID-19 is very much an ongoing presence not only in Florida, but throughout the country, so are Disney’s precautions enough to warrant a trip to Disney World?
That depends.
“This is our new normal. Our new reality,” D’Amaro said. “Covid is here, and we have a responsibility to figure out the best approach to safely operate in this new normal. Businesses across the country are open, whether it’s a local pizza shop in Orlando or an airline taking on new guests.”
Without a doubt, staying home will be safer than going to a theme park. “By visiting Walt Disney World Resort you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19,” the resort says on its website.
But, to D’Amaro’s point, as the country continues to reopen, Disney, like so many other businesses, is doing so with approaches that support the health and safety of guests and Cast Members to the extent that it’s possible during an unprecedented pandemic.
Even The Best Health Protocol is Useless If People Don’t Follow It
Here’s where we as guests enter the picture. In a vacuum, Disney’s health and safety protocols should go a LONG way toward keeping guests and Cast Members safe. With required masks, regular hand-sanitizing and hand-washing opportunities, and physical distancing requirements accounted for nearly everywhere within the parks, these measures can go a long way toward minimizing exposure risks.
But, you’re only as safe as the person next to you. Or in the enclosed space with you. Or within six feet of you.
YOUR behavior and that of your fellow guests could, in theory, play a MUCH bigger role in whether you’re safe at Disney World than you think.
There will always be outliers who ignore the protocol, AND there are some choke points (i.e. narrow pathways and specific situations that tend to get crowded more quickly than other spaces) in Disney World that seem to be perpetually too close for comfort even with limited capacity in the parks. And this is a huge component of why physical distancing and making good choices in the parks for your own personal health and safety is so important. Disney hasn’t disclosed official capacity numbers or limits, so we were extremely curious about what opening day crowds would look and feel like in the parks.
While crowds were not as light as those at Cast Member and AP previews, our experience (and that of others) at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom was that most of the time, the parks appeared nearly empty.
Tree of Life
Some on social media criticized the low crowds as a “failure,” but Disney has made it very clear that controlling capacity is both deliberate and strategic.
Here’s what crowds looked like in Animal Kingdom on reopening day!
“Our capacity will be a function of the six-foot social distancing guidance that we have from the CDC, so the number of people we put in the park will be a function of that calculation,” Disney CEO Bob Chapek said in an interview with CNBC.
Adventureland crowds during Magic Kingdom’s grand reopening
In our experience, we were able to maintain more than six feet of distancing from our fellow guests in most cases.
We did spot a few issues Disney will still need to work out. Guests needing to visit Guests Relations prior to going into Magic Kingdom on Saturday found themselves in a lengthy queue outside the park gates that lacked distance markers. This line blocked the way for guests trying to get to the park from the Contemporary Resort, and ensured the impossibility of social distancing with no other option for the guests in the queue or the guests walking to and from the Contemporary but to be very much within six feet of many other people.
Guest Relations Line
And there were also a few pile-ups during downpours, and in front of quick-service locations while guests waited for their Mobile Order numbers to be called. (At the time, Pecos Bill’s in Frontierland was not allowing guests into the restaurant until their Mobile Order food is ready.)
Pecos Bill Mobile Order pick-up crowd.
We were also a bit uncomfortable on the monorail and in other areas where barriers between guests were flimsy and incomplete. (On the monorail, which transports guests between several hotels, the parking lot, and the Magic Kingdom, there is a flexible barrier that drops down between the two sections of each car, but there’s at least an inch gap at the bottom between the barrier and the seat. If that gap is going to be there, and you’re seated within inches of the person behind you, the barrier is not fully protecting you from the spread of droplets if the person on that seat sneezes or coughs.)
But, at least in the parks, because of the reduced capacity, should guests find themselves faced with one of these scenarios that lack the requisite distances, there’s usually plenty of room to step away and avoid these situations.
In most circumstances, Disney has been quick to swoop in and address guests not adhering to regulations — we spotted Cast Members reminding guests to pull up their masks if they weren’t being worn property and to maintain appropriate distancing. (Though we were also party to a few times Cast Members didn’t remind guests to do so.)
And, by and large we were impressed with just how compliant guests were. We saw very few guests not wearing masks when they should be (except in Disney Springs, where it seems to be much more common to ignore protocol than it was during the initial opening weeks — especially in the evening), and were particularly impressed when we spotted guests in line for Pirates of the Caribbean who continued to maintain their distance rather than running for cover during a downpour.
Pirates of the Caribbean Queue
It’s important to note that in such an unprecedented time, there will be an exception to EVERY rule. But our takeaway from opening days is that Disney’s theme parks feel as safe as any public space COULD be right now, and given that the biggest threat to guest safety as it relates to contracting COVID-19 is, in most cases, OTHER GUESTS, the exceptionally low capacity of the parks helps to give us individual control over our proximity to other guests and our ability to avoid uncomfortable or unsafe situations.

So is it safe to go to Disney World right now?
Florida is in the midst of a massive spike in COVID cases. At press time, the epicenter of illness in Florida is in Miami, so Orange County, where Disney World is located, could be considered slightly safer than the more southern part of the state. But cases are still rising, and from behavior we’ve seen outside of Disney World (and, honestly, behavior we’ve seen in Disney Springs), there are many people in the area who are not taking the pandemic seriously.
It is VERY Easy to Backslide — I Say From Personal Experience
As we stated, the safest place to be right now is AT HOME. Disney World has implemented excellent health and safety protocols, but, again, these are only effective if they’re being strictly followed and adhered to by every single guest and Cast Member. And sometimes, there are breakdowns. Even with rule-followers like me.
Protocols to Enter Disney Springs
Personally, I’ve been shocked at how easy it is to lower my guard as I’m out and about after diligently self-isolating for months. I went from being terrified to sleep in the hotel bed on Day 1, to forgetting to sanitize my hands when getting off of an attraction by Day 6!! The backslide is rapid. So keep that in mind — when you’re doing a common-during-normal-times activity (like riding an attraction in Disney World or visiting a favorite restaurant), it’s very easy for your muscle memory to kick in and forget the important new protocol — putting your mask on and KEEPING it on correctly, sanitizing your hands, not holding on to high contact touch points like lap bars or railings any longer than you must. I stood up to walk to the restroom while in a restaurant and FORGOT — 100% FORGOT — to put on my mask. I walked to the restroom without it! I was mortified when I, personally, realized the error and literally covered my nose and mouth with tissue to walk back to the table. But take my mistakes as an indication of how easy it is — even for a very dedicated-to-the-rules-and-honestly-terrified-to-get-sick-and-infect-my-family kind of person like me — to mess up. You can promise yourself and your family that you’ll sanitize regularly, avoid crowded areas, and BE CAREFUL. But just know that it’s difficult to be the kind of careful you want to be once you’re in the situation simply because there’s SO much to be paying attention to.
And if you’re surrounded by thousands of other people, no matter how vigilant you are about your own safety, someone’s going to be making a mistake.
And, yes. I realize that my one or two subconscious errors likely did not get myself or anyone else sick. But expand that times the thousands of people in Disney World every day. All it takes is one slip-up from someone like you or me to contribute to the statistics.
Animal Kingdom
If you do choose to go to Disney World like I did, remember to always be aware. If there’s a choke point between Fantasyland and Liberty Square (you know — where everyone always gets squashed together over there by it’s a small world and Peter Pan’s Flight), wait until you can socially distance appropriately through the area, or choose another route (avoid tight and narrow pathways; walk all the way through Tomorrowland if necessary). If you pull into Disney Springs and realize it’s taking a LONG time to find a parking space, it’s probably too busy in there to be fully compliant with the rules. Head back to the hotel and try Disney Springs on a weekday morning instead. You are in charge and in control of your experience most of the time in Disney World, and if you start to feel uncomfortable (like I did on the monorail), double up with a second mask and get out of there.
Can you go to Disney World safely? Of course! Many people will go to Disney World without contracting this illness. But with cases rising, so are risks. So only you can answer the question of “how safe is safe enough?” Is Disney World safer than your grocery store? Probably. But the difference is that you’re in your grocery store for 15 minutes, and you’re in Disney World for hours and days.
When It’s No Longer “New,” Will We Get Lax With Being Vigilant?
Also, Disney World parks are doing great right now on the safety and protocol front. But so was Disney Springs when it first opened. But after two trips to Disney Springs in the evenings this week, protocol is breaking down there a bit, crowds are rising, and it’s much easier to see what happens when regulations aren’t as strictly followed as they were when they were new and interesting. The initial wave of people to a newly-reopened location tend to be respectful of the rules and awed by the novelty of the situation. But once things become ho-hum and hum-drum, it’s easy to let behavior slide…pull your mask down off your nose because there aren’t too many people around, walk too closely to someone because it’s a hassle to take another route and it’s just for a second anyway…and it’s all too easy to convince yourself that those slip-ups don’t matter. But they can. And if we’re all doing them, they will.
Finally, once you determine if it’s safe for you and your family to go to Disney World, also consider your responsibility to a greater community. If you do get sick, you could pass it on to others during those very contagious and often asymptomatic first two days of infection, continuing to spread an illness that the country is struggling to contain. So consider self-isolating for a bit when you return home.
Everybody’s definition of “safe” — for themselves and others — is different. But since we’ve been in the thick of things for a week now, we wanted to share how we’re feeling about this after our experiences. I hope this has helped you as you’re making your decisions.

Very well written and balanced article. Thanks for the thoughts!
Great article and very thorough! I always appreciate when someone looks into both sides of the point!
This is a great article, thank you so much for your thoughts!
Is Disney World Safe from a virus that is non-lethal to 99.996% of the non-nursing home/non-prison population?
Of course it is!
Even without any of the extreme measures they are enforcing it is.
Disney and posts like this are working to keep the population scared of some thing we’ve been through before (as in evert couple of years).
This was very helpful. Thank you.
I visited Disney Springs a few days after it opened on a weekday. It was great. Everyone was wearing mask. Restaurants were better than expected. I live in Sarasota Florida and I will not eat at any restaurants or go out walking on most downtown streets. About 1/2 the people are not wearing mask or following proper distancing. So we have trips planned for Disney in August and September. I feel it’s way safer than here.
Such an honest and thoughtful post. Thank you. Stay healthy!
Great perspective AJ! I sincerely hope that vacationers stay home.
I thought you did an excellent job of answering the question “Is Disneyworld Safe, and Should You Go?”
Very well reasoned pros and cons based on what Disney is doing to keep everyone as safe as possible, your actual experience at the parks, and how difficult it is for each of us to maintain safe practices. Thank you.
It will be interesting to see how much the crowds increase once the other 2 parks open.
Thank you for this assessment. Our family was not planning a trip, but the concerns you identified give you so much credibility and it is why you are my favorite Disney travel blog site.
Thanks for your honest reporting.
There’s a lot to consider when deciding whether or not to go.
I appreciate your input.
Thank you for this very thoughtful reporting. There are a lot of factors to balance here. Thank you for acknowledging the complexity of the situation as well as how easy it is to backslide.
One of the best articles I have read in a long time. We have a planned trip for Winter 2021. Thank you!
Disney is likely doing everything it can to keep the parks safe. What Disney cannot control is what the guest do. Picture someone who has a fever, knows it, takes something to reduce it so they can enter the park. That person may have C-19 but doesn’t care and simply wants to get into the park.
Not for us until there’s a vaccine! I have to eat and drink but entertainment, sleeping in hotels, etc. is not necessary.
Thank you AJ!…I live in NYC, a block from Central Park, and no one needs a vacation more than me and my daughter: we have been washing clothes out by hand, rarely going out (because we have to use elevatos,) and getting our groceries delivered, to avoid contaigon! The numbers here are greatly improved, but we still maintain some residual “hostage” anxiety! I made a ten night reservation in January for late August!…We have been waiting for the FL. Governor to lift quarentine against us, but it han’t happened yet-we were going to decide then. Your description above makes me know that there is just no way to go now!…I figure not going now affords us a future, so many more trips! Stay safe!
Thank you for a well reasoned response to the question Should I go….. Had a vacation scheduled Grandparents taking Teen Grandchildren. Vacation has been rescheduled. I don’t think we Grandparents should take the risk.
People should recognize that Disney had to make a real-time decision on when to open, well in advance of the opening date. At that time Florida had not yet had the explosive growth in new cases. They have done a marvelous job of adapting to a fluid situation.
An absolutely fantastic well written article. We have reservations for the first week of November and I’m holding on to a tad bit of hope that we will be able to go. Even before this nightmare of a virus came to be, my wife, daughter and I have always been mindful of using hand sanitizer and even using a sanitizing wipe to wipe down the lap bars on many rides. It’s exactly like you say though. You can be extremely careful and mind all the protocols but it’s everyone else you need to worry about. There are still way too many individuals out there who think this virus is a hoax. Thank you for the article!!
Thank you for this open and honest piece. I appreciate your unbiased perspective. As a huge Disney fan who cancelled our trip for later this month due to the awful spike in FL, I appreciate all of Disney’s efforts, and from everything I’m seeing and reading they are doing an AMAZING job. I’m not surprised. Still I’m uncomfortable with the level of cases in the state so I’ll avoid it for now and give others more room to socially distance! 🙂 Stay safe and enjoy.
This article contains dangerous misinformation and inaccuracies. One should not just be worried about spreading the virus “during those very contagious and often asymptomatic first two days of the virus” as your article states, AJ. Using the most current data through June 29th, the CDC’s “current best estimate is that about 40% of people infected with coronavirus show no symptoms of the disease” and asymptomatic people are definitively contagious. Yes, pre-symptomatic spread is a big concern, but asymptomatic spread is an even bigger concern. You may not have any symptoms of coronavirus now or ever, but you might spread it to someone and kill them. With the virus out of control and without mass testing and tracing in place, the answer is Disney World is NOT safe, and NO you should not go. The question at hand really is whether you find your Citrus Swirl worth potentially killing someone.
Great article. I agree with everything you said and having been to both the annual passholder event and Disney springs I realize how easy it can be to let your guard down. In the park I noticed this with the photo pass. I didn’t think twice about getting close enough to have her scan my magic band and after I did it I was so mad at myself but again Something you’re so used to doing. So we really have to remember everything we do, everywhere we go in the park, everything we touch. It seems easy but it’s a lot to remember when you’re in the thick of the magic.
So helpful!!
Stay safe!!!!
Thank you for being honest. I appreciate you and your staff as you reported this week, even among your fears for yourself and family. Thank you for explaining all the safety protocols at Disney, the behavior of guests (new and longer term), and the ease of which is we can forget the requirements for our new normal. You really drove home the reality that our safety is really up to us. We can enjoy life and be safe at the same time.
I am also grateful to you and your team as you continued to report, even when Disney World had closed down. Your humor, interesting stories, delicious food and restaurant reviews YUM!, and updates on Disney happenings helped bring positive news into our home. I wish the DFB team well. Stay safe and healthy, and have fun!
Thank you for sharing this with the public. It’s a good reminder that even having the best and safe intentions, that it’s easy to “forget” them too. Thanks for keeping it real. Stay safe and I appreciate all of your hard work, AJ.
Life is full of risks. I’m comfortable with the health regime I have in place with my practitioner. I’m not concerned about catching this virus or any other ones that are always present with one is out and about.
I’m sure Disney is doing everything within their power to keep things safe and clean.
However it is doubtful I will keep my reservations for later this year because I will not be comfortable wearing a mask all day especially in the heat and humidity. I can’t imagine sitting by the pool wearing a mask.
Thank you for a well written and thought out review. Disney World is my favorite, happy place in the world, but I’m old, so I won’t be taking the chance until the virus has left the whole world. I’m afraid it will be a long time. Hope I live long enough to come back. I just can’t imagine my life without Disney.
AJ thank you for an honest appraisal of the current conditions at WDW. It is providing the info needed to make an informed decision. My trip is planned for September and I really don’t want to postpone. It would really be helpful if you and you crew could reassess the situation from time to time as people become complacent and see if compliance/enforcement remains at a high level.
Sorry! But being around groups of people, as shown in your pictures, amidst a highly contagious virus, all I can say is How is anything Near Safe? Given the rampant infection rates being reported, We’ll be not returning anytime soon. I wish I could comment otherwise, but the facts speak for themselves. My sons father in law is hospitalized with coved and has blood clots in his lungs, his son was bar tending with a mask, did it protect him ?
After seeing videos of people in the park compared to those of other people in Florida, the parks look much safer. However, being a phase 4 Canadian, and with our borders closed, and hopefully expanded much longer, I’ll wait until next summer. Stay safe everyone.
We are from CT and had a trip to Disney planned for August. As much as it upsets me that we are not going this year, I would rather keep my family safe❤️
Thank you very much. Such an insightful article . Nothing beats a 1 st person point of view. All so true and I could see myself making the same slip ups even tho saying “not me!” . We have friends going for 4 days but it just isn’t for us yet. 😎 Everyone just needs to do their part . This thing has such a far reaching effect …
AJ, I agree with your assessment of what Disney Springs was like when it first open up again. And protocol was followed for the first few weeks, before becoming lax. It will be interesting to see if the same is true in the Parks. I would like to believe that the reason things have slipped at Disney Springs. Because of the number of Locals that are returning to visit Disney Springs. I may be wrong about that.
Are the Parks now open for anyone who had a ticket previously/ Not just resort guest, with tickets. If that is indeed the case. Then I agree, that some may become more lax, with following the protocols, in the parks. I would like to think that those, making the decision to visit WDW this year, as we are at the end of August. Will adhere to the policy in place. I look forward to watching and reading reports, on this, prior to our trip.
Thank you and your team, for the continue coverage. Stay safe.
Thank you for your perspective and insight.
I hope Disney fixes the Monorail issue. I noticed that the divider appears to be similar to a shade. They are also placing more than one group on each side of the divider. Are they cleaning the Monorail seats between onboarding and offboarding?
Disney may be encountering more of a challenge with crowds in Disney Springs due to the number of third-party venues. Hopefully, they will maintain much better control over the parks — although, I’m now a slight bit concerned about Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival.
Wishing you and your team stay safe while researching and reporting back to all of us “scaredy cats”!
Thanks so much for this post, AJ. This is exactly what I had hoped you’d address, and you did it in a very thoughtful and informative way. Much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing your experience! You know, you’re only human! I completely understand! 💜
Thank you for this very honest and informative article. I know it wasn’t easy to write, but the truth seldom is. I felt this article was honest and truthful and I really appreciated the feedback.
We are scheduled to go to Disney World in November, but without a vaccine in place before then, we will not go.
This was our plan even before Florida got so overwhelmed with the coronavirus. At this point we do not know if or when the virus will be contained in Florida or if it will continue to get worse.
For my safety and the safety of my family I definitely would not go to Disney World now or anytime in the future without an effective vaccine. Thank you for being so brave, honest and truthful! It really helps the rest of us to make our decisions. Please continue to be safe and be well!
Thank you for a very informative, well balance piece. It should be required reading for anyone going into the Parks in the near future. We aren’t coming over to Florida from UK until Oct 2021 but we are watching how things unfold. Your newsletters are really helpful, keep up the good work.
Thanks
George, Newcastle, England
Thank you, Arlene.
I agree with you 100%. While we were there this weekend I had the same perspective. Great right now when this is all so new but will everybody continue to be cautious? One of the bad experiences we had was on the Carousel of Progress. Throughout the ride at least half the the people took off their masks or lowered them below their nose. We decided not to do any of the other attractions where this could be the case like Hall of Presidents and Philharmonic. However, when we rode Pirates of the Carribbean, the people behind us did not wear their mask once inside but when they got into the boat, kudos to the Disney Cast member who instructed the women to put their masks back on and when they did, the cast member instructed them to also cover their noses because they hadn’t! I think the Cast Members need to be a bit more determined that everyone follows the rules when they see these issues. With the Food & Wine going on in Epcot when it opens, how many people will be eating or drinking throughout World Showcase and not wearing their masks because of it? I see this as the next issue.
Anthony, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom are open for those with Disney Park Pass. EPCOT and Hollywood Studios open tomorrow for general guests with DPP.
In my previous post I neglected to say….AJ and team, thank you for this well written and honest article. Your efforts in keeping us informed are very much appreciated and welcomed.
Be well and be safe.
Thank you AJ for the extremely through and in depth article. I think this might be one of the best articles you or your team has written since I started getting the newsletter 2 years ago. Walt Disney World is taking all the necessary precautions and doing everything they can to keep people safe, but in the end time will tell if it really is safe and if guests abide by the rules. I hope to return soon, but it will probably not be for a few years until it is safer (especially coming from NY) and things are much better across the country!
Well composed,informative article…having worked early in my career in hospital administration ( mow Video/Film/Theater Production..www.hcgrp.net) I have friends who are MD’s etc & though the incident of hospitalizations is relatively low compared to rates of infection, they remind me that Covid-19 can be deadly. We must be aware that this is a serious,insidious disease which will be with us even after a vaccine is available. Then it will much more manageable but not totally eliminated as there are those who will be “vaccine deniers”.
As an annual visitor to WDW my wife & I have decided we will not go to Florida this year but hope that in 2021 or 2022 we can return.
Meanwhile stay well.stay safe!
Thnaks again for such a solid piece of reporting.
Rick
AJ- I believe I saw a few, but are there people with stroller age children?
We have reservations for just after the quarantine in place orders are lifted. I’m just curious.
We were there in March. 4 days before quarantine was initiated. Flew back to NY. Cleanest plane I’ve ever been on 🙂
Thanks for all your info!
Hi, Jackie. Yes, we’ve seen stroller-age children in addition to older ones.
LOVE this take, AJ.
I am at risk and my parents are at risk because of both age and health factors – even I have to constantly remind myself that just because we’ve been doing this for “so long” doesn’t mean it’s over.
It’s annoying, it’s inconvenient, it’s exhausting – it is just HARD – but we need to stay vigilant.
My daughter and I arrived at MCO on July 11. We visited all four parks and Disney Springs during our week there. I’m glad you pointed out how easy it is to “slip up” even though you have tried to be vigilant in following the rules and protocols. We stayed at the Fort Wilderness Cabins and definitely felt safe there. The cast members there strictly enforce the mask policy, even when you are on a golf cart. We left our cabin once and didn’t realize we had forgotten our masks until we were about to turn on the main road. We turned around and made a bee line for our cabin. A cast member on a golf cart passed us and really looked us over! When it was apparent where we were headed, nothing was said. We were actually embarrassed about forgetting our masks. Regarding the parks, we noticed the same things you did, especially about HS being more crowded in places than the other parks. It’s up to each family to decide what is best for them both when going to the parks and going home. We self quarantined for two weeks when we got home. We really had a great time at the parks and don’t regret going. We are both adults and no children accompanied us. Make a pro and con list if that helps you decide. I would say that if you are really uncertain about the trip, you would probably be better off waiting.
I was at the parks for 16 days straight this summer, and I just tested negative. Thanks, Disney, for all that you’re doing to keep us safe!
