When Disney World re-opens will Florida residents be the first guests back inside the parks?
Cinderella Castle
The Disney World parks have been closed since March 16th, and the closure is currently set to remain in place “until further notice.” But now that both state and local governments have created task forces to discuss the re-opening of businesses, we’re getting a glimpse into what Disney World might look like when it re-opens. When the gates do open, will Florida residents be the first guests allowed in the parks? Here’s what we know so far.
We’re living in interesting times with the global crisis going on, and that means that Disney has had quite the situation to contend with from a business perspective.
Cinderella Castle
With the closures of Disney theme parks around the world, the suspension of movie production and theatrical releases, and the cancellation of hundreds of sports games, Disney has seen an earnings dip. Analysts and executives have had mixed opinions on how long this period will last and some analysts are trying to predict a worst-case scenario. What could that outcome mean for the Walt Disney Company financials?Â
Disney World may be closed, but there is one interesting thing that the closure has us looking forward to.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
In the past, hurricane closures and recessions have caused some serious dips in attendance for Disney World. With the special health concerns of the current situation and the projected recession, there is certainly a possibility going into the next few months (and even years) that attendance will be lower than usual in the parks.
Disney has a track record of trying to drive attendance with discounts so we might see some CRAZY Disney deals soon!
Disney World recently sent out guest surveys about the parks and announced new precautions for future visitors.

Although Disney World is still closed until further notice, analysts predict the parks could be open as early as July.

Disney World has been closed since March 16th, and the park gates will remain shuttered “until further notice.” But just in the last few days we’ve seen a LOT of updates and confirmation about what Disney World will be like when it reopens.
Disney Springs will begin Disney World’s phased reopening on May 20th, and Disney World has confirmed that guests will be required to where face coverings. Disney World has also confirmed that rides, attractions, and other experiences may be modified or closed in order to protect guests and cast members during the theme parks’ reopening phases. And the Walt Disney Company has also stated that they are currently considering using more virtual queues and implementing more modifications like capacity limits in the parks when they reopen.
So with all of these changes, we asked our readers if we should even go to Disney World when things are so topsy-turvy. Here’s what they said.
We’re inching slowly closer to a possible reopening of the Disney World theme parks, so we’re starting to think about what that might look like.

And we’re not the only ones! Florida put together the Re-Open Florida Task Force, with representation by Disney World president Josh D’Amaro, to visualize the sort of health and safety measures that will be necessary to reopen the state. Many of the already-discussed measures apply to Disney World and we’re looking at what these might mean for YOUR next Disney trip!
