The pin trading board was still up. Though the board displays regular pin trading rules, it doesn’t outline the new rules about dropping a pin in the bin beneath.

Like the resort, the merchandise is mostly themed around relaxing on a beach.

This trash can was also not propped open, but had a COVID-19 warning on it. This is the standard warning seen in several places around Walt Disney World Resort.
