There are several third-party locations opening on May 20th, though Disney-owned stores won’t be opening until the following week. Today, we heard from Basin that their Disney Springs location WILL be opening the same day as the complex!

Now, we’ve started to see some signs of life from Disney’s travel sector with the reopening of Shanghai Disneyland last week and the upcoming reopening of Disney Springs on May 20th. Still, new cancellations are being announced. We recently reported that Adventures by Disney was cancelling some departures into July, and now those suspensions have been extended further.
Summer is coming, and we can’t wait to have some fun in the sun!
