- Senior Vice President of Walt Disney World Resorts and Transportation Operations Thomas Mazloum stated at a meeting of the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force said that they have not set a reopening date for Walt Disney World. Here’s what he had to say:
“We do not have any opening date yet. As some of you may know, at this point we’re taking bookings that were in June but that does not mean that we’re opening in June. At this time, I want to make it clear that we don’t have any plans to share [on reopening] for Walt Disney World or any of our other parks. Clearly, regulatory guidance is an important element of this in each area and country where we work, and at this point I want to be clear that we don’t have any plans to share about Walt Disney World yet.” - Disney Springs remains closed at this time, despite Florida phase one reopening.
