These temperature screening tents have been installed at the entrances just prior to security before guests enter the Downtown Disney District. The tents appear similar to the ones installed at the reopened Disney parks in China and Japan and soon-to-reopen parks in France and Florida.

The Orange County Register is also reporting that there are new blue signs at the entrance to Disneyland, advising guests of health and safety protocols. There are also signs warning guests of the inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 while visiting the Disneyland Resort.

Visitors to the shopping center will be required to wear face coverings, have their temperature checked prior to entering, and will need to follow social distancing guidelines. Right now, Downtown Disney is the only part of the Disneyland Resort that has a scheduled reopening date.

The Disney World reopening is starting this coming weekend. Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will reopen Saturday, July 11, with Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopening Wednesday, July 15.

In a recent press conference, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings addressed a question regarding his opinion of the decision for the Disney World Parks to reopen. Here’s what he said:

“At this point, I’m fairly comfortable with the decision that Disney has made to reopen because of the extent that they have gone through to ensure it’s a safe environment. Again, we saw something positive today in terms of the lowering of the positivity rate within the last week and some of the other things.

So we have to take the good news where there’s bad news, as well, and we have to try to get our economy stimulated. But we don’t want to do that at the expense of risking people’s safety. What Disney reviewed with all of us several weeks ago now should be in place, and we’ll just have to monitor it going forward.”

While Demings is “fairly comfortable” with Disney World reopening, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared he has “no doubt” that Disney World will be a safe environment.

Disney has many protocols in place to keep guests and Cast Members healthy and safe while visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. We hope that all who visit the parks follow the safety measures and stay healthy!

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Prepare the egg yolk batter by whisking the egg yolks and sugar together until the sugar melts

• Prepare the egg white meringue by whisking the egg whites with cream of tartar for 1 minute, then gradually add in sugar and keep whisking until firm peaks form
• Scoop out 5 tsp of egg yolk batter and 10 tbsp of egg white meringue and gently fold them together
• Scoop out 2 tsp of egg yolk batter then add yellow food coloring and 4 tbsp of egg white meringue. Gently fold them together

• Use a knife to cut the orange and yellow cake into slices to make Tigger’s ears. Then use a pair of scissors to cut out his ears, use a knife to make cuts where the ears should be then dip the ends with a little icing before inserting in

Julian Bass, a 20-year-old Georgia State University student, recently created an amazing VFX video to share on TikTok. The video shows Julian transforming into three of his favorite heroes: Jedi wielding a lightsaber, Ben 10, and Spider-Man. He shared the video to Twitter, which quickly went viral, and he earned the praise of Bob Iger!

He posted the video to Twitter hoping to demonstrate his impressive VFX skills. “If y’all can retweet this enough times that Disney calls, that’d be greatly appreciated,” said Julian in his Twitter post. You can watch the video below.

His video soon accumulated over 500,000 shares on social media! Bob Iger did take notice and offered his praise in a comment by saying, “The world’s gonna know your name!”

Other filmmakers and actors gave credit to Julian for his awesome video clip. His talent will take him far in his career! His visual transformations are quite flawless in how he shifts from a Jedi to two other superhero characters.

Seeing fan videos like this is inspiring. Those who truly have passion and dreams can pursue their goals through hard work. It’ll be something if we see Julian working in the movie industry one day soon!
