News Disney Springs Begins Phased Reopening on May 20

So where does the mask rule come into effect ?
When you exit your car ?
When you get to the security point ?
Genuine question .

My personal rules are that as long as I'm not within 10 feet of anyone else, I don't have to put it on. So I usually put it on as I approach the entrance to the grocery store, for example.

Does paper money hold on to covid-19 better than credit cards and phones?

I’m glad to see it’s reccomended and not required.

Nobody else touches your credit card or phone

Most of these restaurants aren't setup to socially distance as it is. It's like back in the day when restaurants would have smoking and non smoking sections and literally nothing breaking the space up. Like smoke doesn't move past the smoking sign.

The virus has been shown to travel clear across restaurants and shared office spaces by way of air-conditioning systems, so having an empty table or desk next to you isn't really going to solve the problem.

This is where I think they need to be more clear. There may be pushback from guests on both sides of the wearing everywhere / only inside camps.

"Appropriate Face Coverings: All guests 3 years of age and older, along with cast members and third-party operating-participant employees, will be required to wear an appropriate face covering while visiting Disney Springs. This is an important part of protecting both our guests and our cast. Please be sure you have an ample amount of face coverings for yourself and your party before you arrive, as you’ll need to wear them over your nose and mouth at all times (except when sitting at a dining table)."

Good question. I'd put it on before exiting the car.

Thanks makes that a lot clearer

Here in MA, masks are required indoors and out if you are within 6' of another person. $300 fine per violation.

I can see how they would help in hi risk areas. Thankfully they haven't brought in any mask legislation here , nor look likely to .

That’s true, it’s definitely safer for the employees then. I was thinking how all the cards and phones will be touching the same surface but the employees wouldn’t be handling them so that does make things safer for them.

I noticed at my coffee shop they no longer make you digitally sign for your credit card order. You just dip the chip and you are done.

I dunno...I like that it makes very clear what is expected...so everyone is on the same page.

"Cashless Transactions: At this time, it is recommended all Guests use cashless or contactless payment options, such as credit cards, debit cards, Disney Gift Cards, Disney Rewards® Redemption Cards and mobile wallets—including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Guests may purchase a Disney Gift Card at select Merchandise locations and Welcome Center (Guest Relations) to pay without cash."

I read this online earlier and am not clear why people would buy a Disney Gift Card when those (I don't think?) couldn't be used at the 3rd party vendors that are the majority - and initially the only - places open?

Because other locations are opening up a week later.

Many non-Disney locations at Disney Springs accept Disney gift cards.

I really hope that means they're limiting how many reservations can be made...because if they aren't, I can forsee A LOT of very angry people.

All restaurants are supposed to be at only 50% capacity (and as much sidewalk space they can spread out more tables).

 

[Just4Pics]

I respect Disney's decision, but it's not worth it to me to go if masks are required. I'll wait until they're just recommended.

So in 3 weeks we should start seeing a rise in cases, just in time for the parks to open...

 

[DCBaker]

Just checking, have they announced the hours that Disney Springs will be open yet? It doesn’t look like it on the main site so was wondering if any press releases have stated any operation hours.
Personally debating about going on the 27th but will depend on when they will open. I would ideally like to go early to avoid a bigger crowd. However looking at how City Walk opened, if they also open in the afternoon maybe going a bit later would be better?

Haven't seen what time Disney Springs will officially be open for guests, but some restaurants have said they will be open at 11:30am on the 20th.
