If Disney World Is VERY Different When It Reopens…Would YOU Go? Here’s What Our Readers Said.

By 19 Comments

Disney World has been closed since March 16th, and the park gates will remain shuttered “until further notice.” But just in the last few days we’ve seen a LOT of updates and confirmation about what Disney World will be like when it reopens.

Disney Springs will begin Disney World’s phased reopening on May 20th, and Disney World has confirmed that guests will be required to where face coverings.
