Disney World will officially begin the phased reopening of its theme parks on July 11th with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

When Disney World announced their plan to reopen July 11th, they emphasized an increase in the amount of “contactless experiences” for their guests.

Disney World began a phased reopening with Disney Springs on May 20th and plans to reopen their theme parks beginning July 11th.
