The limited ticket reservations filled up within minutes as the park was limited to a 30% capacity. Temperature checks were taken at the gate. Guests we asked to adhere to very specific guidelines. Yet, there was still plenty of Disney magic to go around!

Some say it’s too soon. Others say it’s long over due. Regardless of where you stand, I think we can all agree we simply can’t wait to see Walt Disney World and Disneyland reopen when the time is right. Until then, stay safe and healthy Disney fans!
