DISNEY SPRINGS BACK IN BUSINESS
Restaurants, stores reopening with regulations, including temperature checks for visitors
Disney Springs has revealed a list of restaurants and stores that will reopen from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Wednesday.
It will be the first day for the Walt Disney World shopping and entertainment complex to operate since the resort shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic in March. Forty-four outlets will be in operation as part of its phased opening.
At this time, visitors to Disney Springs must undergo temperature checks before entering. Anyone displaying a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will be sent to a second location for another screening.
If they measure 100.4 degrees or higher again, they will not be allowed into the complex — and neither will those in their party, according to a post on the official Disney Parks Blog.
Employees and visitors will also be required to wear face coverings over their noses and mouths at all times, except when sitting for a meal, the blog post states.
The only parking available will be in the Orange and Lime garages.
Restaurants opening
Eateries opening Wednesday will include Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza, Boathouse, Chicken Guy, Earl of Sandwich, Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck, Frontera Cocina, Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co., Paradiso 37, Planet Hollywood, Polite Pig, STK Orlando, Sunshine Churros (Marketplace and West Side lo
cations), T-Rex, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, Wine Bar George and YeSake.

The reopening of Disney Springs is among the first steps to getting Walt Disney World, including its theme parks, available to the public again.
No opening date has been announced for the parks or Disney hotels.
World of Disney, the complex’s giant retail store, Marketplace Co-op and mobile ordering for D-Luxe Burger will become available on May 27, Disney said.
