Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL has officially reopened to the public after being closed since mid-March and guests are extremely excited to be back in the Most Magical Place on Earth! However, with its phased reopening comes a few new health and safety protocols that guests must follow to ensure everyone’s well-being.

One of those protocols being a brand new social distancing team of Cast Members. This Disney Parks team will be used to engage with guests as well as make sure that social distancing guidelines are followed in queues and in popular areas of Disney Springs.

On top of the new social distancing team, Disney Springs has implemented a few new restrooms protocols that guests must follow for safety measures. To start, Disney Springs has posted social distancing signs outside of the restrooms that read “For your safety, please keep a minimum of 6 feet between you and other parties.”

Outside of another restroom, Disney has placed markings on the ground in order to help guests comply with safe social distancing measures when waiting to enter the bathroom.

Inside the restrooms, the only new thing we noticed is a sign that states “Please wash your hands for 20 seconds” which is planted on the walls above the sinks.

However, we did notice Disney is regularly closing the restrooms in order to keep them as clean and sanitized as possible for the guests.

These are the most notable restroom differences we have spotted since prior to the current global pandemic. Please keep all safety and health protocols in mind if you plan on visiting Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort.
