PHOTOS: Stores Begin Phased Reopenings at Disney Springs with Dedicated Entrances, Exits, and Social Distancing Measures in Place

Disney Springs has reopened its gates today to the public for the first time following the COVID-19 pandemic closures, and a whole host of social distancing precautionary measures have been put in place to help guests stay safe during their visits. During this first stage of reopening, only a select few retail stores have reopened, while others (particularly the Disney-owned locations within the Marketplace area) will open later on in the month, starting on May 27. Let’s take a look at some of the store fronts, and find out what they have been doing to keep safe…
