Disney World Attractions & Entertainment Update for Phased Reopening

Disney has just shared with us Attractions & Entertainment Update for the Phased Reopening of Walt Disney World.

As we look forward to the reopening of Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in July, we’re excited to share a few details about the attractions and entertainment guests will be able to experience when they return. Though these may look a little different than in the past, there will be plenty of magic for everyone to enjoy when Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park open on July 11, and EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios opens on July 15th.

Most attractions will be available at each park – for example, live your adventure at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with attractions like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. At Magic Kingdom Park, classics such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean are waiting to welcome guests with thrilling adventures for the whole family. Time travelers, take note that the iconic Spaceship Earth attraction at EPCOT will also continue to be available in its current state while we pause on its planned refurbishment, along with other favorite attractions like Soarin’ Around the World, Frozen Ever After and Test Track presented by Chevrolet. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, the magic of nature awaits with Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain and Avatar Flight of Passage.

If you’re hoping to see some familiar friends or take in the tunes of treasured performers, you’re in luck! Just as you may have seen recently at Disney Springs, our characters will appear in new and different ways that bring a smile to your face while also being mindful of physical distancing. From special cavalcades down the Magic Kingdom Park parade route and friends sailing the waterways of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, to processions along the World Showcase promenade at EPCOT and motorcades on Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Hollywood Boulevard, each area will come to life throughout the day. You never know when a party of your pals may come by, so be prepared for plenty of surprises!

For example, after rocketing through space in Tomorrowland you might see that famous Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear; or discover a captive Captain Jack Sparrow as you traverse the Castillo del Morro on your way to Pirates of the Caribbean. You could cross paths with Queen Anna and Elsa as they venture “into the unknown” on a journey around World Showcase at EPCOT or spy members of the Resistance hiding out from the First Order throughout Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.

Looking beyond our beloved characters, several musical groups will also return. You can look forward to seeing Main Street Philharmonic at Magic Kingdom Park, plus the Mariachi Cobre and everyone’s favorite funky drumming crew the JAMMitors at EPCOT, just to name a few.

AMC Theatres announced an update to its mask policy for customers. The company will require all employees and guests to wear masks when the movie theater chain reopens. It was formerly an option for guests to wear masks in theaters, but AMC reversed its decision to better ensure health and safety with a mandatory mask requirement.

Ryan Noonan, the director of corporate communications for AMC issued the following statement:

”At AMC Theatres, we think it is absolutely crucial that we listen to our guests. Accordingly, and with the full support of our scientific advisors, we are reversing course and are changing our guest mask policy. As we reopen theatres, we now will require that all AMC guests nationwide wear masks as they enter and enjoy movies at our theatres.”

The movie theater company has taken other measures to ensure health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, common areas will be routinely disinfected, and each theater auditorium will be reduced to 30% capacity or less to maintain social distancing.

“In my heart of hearts, I think we can manage AMC through this crisis,” said Aron. “There are no guarantees and nobody knows what coronavirus will look like in the winter or how long it will take to get a vaccine, but I can tell you that we have a very able management team here. We’re going to make every effort to make sure that AMC continues to be well positioned as a leader of the movie theater industry.”

The first set of AMC Theatres will open on July 15 in over 400 U.S. locations. The Disney Springs location is included and will open on that date. Another 150 locations are set to reopen by July 24 before the release of Disney’s live-action Mulan.

Disney World made a lot of announcements yesterday, but one many passholders will be excited about is a new magnet.  And this one will be sent to the passholder’s doorstep!

A lot of changes have been difficult for passholders to comprehend so Disney wants to send a “sprinkle of pixie dust.”  Many are hoping it is the coveted Orange Bird magnet that was never distributed during the Flower and Garden Festival.  Disney’s only hint is that it will be exclusive.

There will also only be one magnet per household.

Magnets have been one of the many items that Disney passholders collect.  Many don’t even put them on their cars for risk of being taken.  Who do you hope is featured on the new magnet?
