All establishments are slowly opening up as government-imposed policies on coronavirus ease up. In Florida, Walt Disney World Resort opens to people after having lost losing $1 billion during the lockdown.

According to IGN, Disney World’s shopping district, Disney Springs, in Orlando even has a little fan service in store for its returning and new visitors. A pair of Stormtroopers are present at the shopping district, performing their duty in reminding people that they should still practice proper social distancing and wearing of face masks inside the open parks.

Walt Disney World Resort plans to partially reopen next month. The company plans to open it at a reduced capacity. For visitors planning to enter the theme park, they need to secure a reservation for the day they plan to visit. The full reopening of the theme park will depend on plans set in place by the government as social distancing measures gradually ease up.

Other establishments have started to redesign and reorganize their services to include additional hygienic measures, while some have added take-away and home delivery services to their list of new policies.

At Disneyland, services will have to operate at a limited capacity. Visitors were earlier allowed to move around the theme park using various forms of transportation – bus, monorail, boat, or tram. However, these will all be replaced and manned by a reduced number of workforce. Visitors, staff, and operators will have to maintain social distancing at all times.

Policies concerning social distancing and coronavirus containment are expected to be lifted soon. As part of the "new normal," Disneyland visitors will have to adjust to the policies laid down in the parks.
