Disney Springs will begin a phased reopening tomorrow, May 20th. And today, as Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district continues to prepare for the reopening, Disney is giving a preview to local Orlando media of what the “new normal” will look like.
Disney has already announced new measures that will be in place for guest and cast safety. While you can read about the variety of protocols in further detail here, the category of Cleanliness and Sanitization includes increased cleaning and disinfecting in high-traffic public areas as well as additional hand sanitizer and hand-washing locations.
Guests are highly encouraged to use the hand sanitizer and washing stations during their visit. And Robert Guaderrama with FOX 35 Orlando has shared a quick look at what you can expect to find throughout Disney Springs via Twitter.

He shares, “if while you’re walking around and think you need to wash your hands… well, they have provided several of these hand-washing stations situated throughout Disney Springs.”
