Disney reopening brings morning visitor to tears

“The Most Magical Place on Earth” has reopened after nearly four months with new rules in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopened Saturday, while Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will follow four days later.

Diane Watkins, of Helena, Alabama, said that when she and her daughter, 16, walked into the Magic Kingdom on Saturday morning and saw all the cast members lined up and clapping on Main Street, she cried.

“It was very emotional,” she said.
