With the phased reopening of Disney Springs today, we are one step closer to knowing when Walt Disney World will be reopening. Walt Disney World and other top Orlando theme parks will be delivering reopening presentations to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force group in the coming days. These presentations must include planned reopening dates.
With these presentations, the MUST provide a re-opening date. So we will know very soon when #Disney #Universal and #SeaWorld plan to re-open. @WFTV https://t.co/cKqPk2cfmM

Reopening plans will require endorsement from the Orange County Mayor before they can be submitted to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. They will be presented at 2:00 PM tomorrow. At this time, all Walt Disney World parks and resort hotels remain closed.
Disney Springs began its phased reopening today, with third-party restaurants and stores now able to abide by the new increased capacity limits. Starting on May 27, Disney-owned shops and eateries will also reopen under the new guidelines.
