food IS a theme park
In its first step towards resuming operations, CityWalk at Universal Orlando began a phased reopening on May 14th.
Disney Springs
Our team was on-site to check out the reopening of CityWalk on May 14th; and with Disney Springs scheduled to begin its own phased reopening on May 20th, we want to share our most important takeaways from our experience to help you prepare! Here are some things we learned at CityWalk that we need you to know before you visit Disney Springs!
CityWalk at Universal Orlando began a phased reopening on May 14th, and we were there to report back.
There were a number of new health and safety measures implemented including temperature checks, limited hours, and social distancing protocols. Overall, we thought the reopening of CityWalk went pretty smoothly, but there were a few things that we hope NOT to see when Disney Springs begins its own phased reopening on May 20th.
Let’s check ’em out.
Today, Universal CityWalk in Universal Orlando Resort has reopened with limited operations for the first time since beginning a temporary closure of the entire Resort in light of the current global situation. At press time, we are providing live coverage of our full experience on reopening day of the Resort’s shopping and dining district (while the theme parks remain closed until further notice).

So you want to bring your baby to Disney World?
It’s Disney World!
We’ll be the first to say — we’ve been there. You’re thinking this beautiful little bundle of joy needs to experience the magic of Disney World, right? Oh, and it’s time to take advantage of Disney World’s “children under three are free” policy! 🙂 Take it from some parents who have braved Disney World with a babe in tow — bringing a baby to Disney World is totally doable, and can be great, but we learned some lessons the hard way.
In recent days, we’ve seen Disney World and Disneyland enforce stricter cleaning schedules and implement several new initiatives to protect guests and Cast Members from the Coronavirus.
Hand Sanitizer Station at Spaceship Earth
Yesterday, we noticed Disney World had added several portable hand washing stations throughout the parks, and today we learned several updates have been made to the My Disney Experience app to help guests stay informed and take extra precautions against the spread of Coronavirus.
Although visiting the Disney Parks is an exciting experience, one thing that can really put a strain on the fun is being unprepared. Carrying a park bag isn’t always convenient (see: security bag check lines), but for many guests, it’s a must!
