So my husband had an interesting point as we were watching the local news here in Florida. With the new set of guidelines for the reopening of the state of Florida, Disney could start to open some of their dining locations at Disney Springs.
The Florida governor is giving most of the state the green light to being Phase One reopening as early as May 4th. This includes restaurants and retail stores to reopen at 25% capacity. All dining room tables would be required to be at least six feet apart and outdoor seating will be encouraged where available.
We are still waiting to hear from the Orange County mayor (where Disney World is located) to see what the guidelines will be for the county. He is suppose to address this on Friday.
But maybe we will start to see some things reopen at Disney Springs. As a local resident and Disney blogger, I am very excited about the possibility of a date night with the hubby to a Disney restaurant.
Here are the mandates for the restaurants that they are discussing:
- Guidelines:
- Paper/disposable menus
- Encourage takeout/online orders
- Touchless sanitizer at entry
- Phase 1 & 2: Staff who are 65+ are encouraged to stay home
- Mandates:
- Hand sanitizer at every table
- Hand sanitizer at entry to be in plain visible sight
- All employees required to wear facemasks
- Temperature checks for staff prior to shift (temp above 100.4 must not enter premises)
- All employees with flu-like symptoms advised to stay home
- Doors to be wiped regularly
- All staff behind counters must wear gloves (except for bartenders)
- Bartenders to sanitize hands after making each drink order
- Seated tables to be six feet apart
- Phase 1: Limit restaurant and bar capacity to 25 percent
