Social distancing tips to remember at Disney World to keep you and your family safe and healthy.
It wasn’t so long ago that the term “social distancing” had not been heard by most people in the United States and many other countries. But now, not only has it entered our vocabulary, it has also pervaded our very lives – including our theme parks!
Before long, theme parks across the country will be open for business again, which means anyone who’s been itching for a private Disney VIP tour in 2020 can start planning right now. To give you an idea of how you can enjoy yourself at Disney World while protecting your health, we’ve compiled a few social distancing tips for you to follow.
Select Your FastPasses Early
Selecting your FastPasses is one of the best social distancing tips we can provide. When you purchase a ticket, you receive three FastPasses that allow you to skip the lines of your favorite rides. You can make your selections 60 days in advance if you’ve made Disney hotel reservations and 30 days in advance if you have not. Even though capacity is going to be capped at 50% and then later at 75%, the most popular ones are still likely to fill up quickly.
Take Advantage of Virtual Queues
From what we’ve been hearing, Disney World is going to utilize virtual queues once the park has reopened. This will allow you to sign up for an attraction in advance and then be called once you’re up so that you can join the line. This will cut down on the amount of time that you’re waiting next to other people. Plus, when you are in line, there will be markings that are six feet apart so you can maintain proper social distance.
Sign Up for a Disney VIP Tour
Disney World tours are the best way to navigate the park in an expedient and efficient manner while social distancing. Disney VIP tour guides can assist you with planning an itinerary, reducing your time in line, finding the best places to eat, booking a hotel, locating characters, keeping your personal belongings secure, programming your FastPasses, and other such perks. Throughout the day, they will also provide you with current social distancing tips.
Pay Attention to Tape Markings
By now, there’s little doubt that you’ve become at least somewhat accustomed to markings on the floor or ground showing you where to stand while in line for something. Disney World will have these markings throughout the park as needed. You can help maintain social distancing by adhering to these marked-off spots as much as possible. If you veer off course a bit at times, that’s okay.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings
To ensure that these social distances tips work, you must stay aware of your surroundings. Even though the attendance capacity will be much lower than usual, there’s a great deal of hustle and bustle that will be taking place all around you. Pay attention to people who may be coming a little closer than you’re comfortable with, watch for taped markings on where to stand, and avoid overly crowded attractions if they make you nervous.
Don’t Invade Personal Space
Everyone has been in a situation where another person has invaded their personal space, probably without even realizing it. You know who were talking about. The guy behind you in line at the convenience store who’s standing just a little too close for comfort. While this had been previously met with a bit of eye-rolling, he could now cause more anxiety and possibly even an altercation of sorts. Just be sure that you are respecting personal space so that everyone can have a good time.
