We Asked Our Readers: Would You Bring Your Kids to Disney World Right Now? Here’s What They Said.
After the longest closure in Disney World history, the parks have now reopened to guests.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Upon reopening, the parks implemented a number of new safety measures for the health of both guests and Cast Members. These changes include reduced park capacity, Disney Park Pass reservations required for entry, face masks required for all Cast Members and guests age two and older, social distancing measures, and more.
But, despite the precautions Disney has put in place, there have still been concerns raised over the reopening of the parks. These worries have been amplified given the rising case numbers in Florida, which have led the state to roll back some reopenings as we saw with the shuttering of bars back in June.

Some were concerned for children who had preexisting conditions or were immunocomprimised. “No. My son has severe asthma.”
