There will be meet and greets… with masked characters?!

Many characters will only be able to be seen from a distance. Can we expect something similar at Walt Disney World when it reopens in July?
Expect to see a lot of signage for social distancing. I mean, A LOT.

It might be kind of a weird experience for guests at first, but many will feel the procedures beat the alternative of no theme parks at all.
Universal Orlando Resort opens to the public on June 5. Check out the “Welcome Back” video below.
