Everything You NEED to Know About Temperature Checks in Disney World

Disney Springs reopened today, becoming the first part of Disney World to do so as the parks remain closed.

Disney Springs

Still, things aren’t quite how they used to be in the dining, retail, and entertainment complex as we’re seeing a good amount of added health and safety measures. One such measure is that all guests and Cast Members are required to undergo temperature screenings. Here was our team’s experience with the temperature checks today!

May 20th marks the day that many Disney Springs locations have reopened for the first time, many with limited hours and modifications to their offerings. To be safely admitted into the complex, guests have to have their temperature taken by a no-touch thermometer. Anyone with a temperature above 100.4 degrees is not allowed to enter Disney Springs.

Today, we visited Disney Springs to see what some of these new health measures look like. The first step to entering Disney Springs is to get your temperature checked. Here’s how the temperature check process worked.

Temperatures are being checked at 4 locations: Orange and Lime garages, along with the Hotel Plaza Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge, and the rideshare location. We arrived at Disney Springs bright and early and the Orange Garage was the only one that was open. After we parked, we headed towards the temperature check station.

Temperature Checks

Temperature checks are being conducted by AdventHealth, thus meaning health professionals are at these health screenings — not just Cast Members.

Advent Health Signage

As we approached the temperature check stations there were signs reminding us of what is required for entry into the complex: face coverings, temperature screening, and physical distancing.

Plus, similar to the opening at Universal Orlando CityWalk, there are markings on the ground to keep guests distanced as they wait for their turn on the temperature checks.

Temperature Screening Queue

We also noticed a few hand sanitizer stations before and after the screening.

Temperature Screening

When it’s your turn, the AdventHealth employee will take your temperature using a handheld infrared thermometer.

Temperature Screening

Remember, hats off for this part! The thermometers have to be pointed directly at your forehead so anything that covers that part of your face will have to come off.

Hats Off!

As long as you pass your temperature check (that’s below 100.4 degrees), you’re good to enter the complex! If you don’t pass, you will head to a rescreening tent where you can sit and cool off. If your temperature is still 100.4F  when they test you again, you and the rest of your party will not be allowed into Disney Springs.

Temperature Screening

Overall

Overall, the process was very quick. We found it to be even quicker than some of our experiences with bag checks when entering the parks. While this is a new and different experience to undergo at Disney World, the Advent Health employee helped us feel comfortable. We even saw a little boy even got a round of applause when he passed!

Temperature Checks

Then it was on to Disney Springs!

To Disney Springs!

Keep following along with us today as we continue our exploration of a reopened Disney Springs! And if you have any questions about the screening, please ask us and we will do our best to get the answers you need.

Amazing Harry Potter Face Mask Reveals The Marauder’s Map As You Breathe

Amazing Harry Potter Face Mask Reveals The Marauder's Map

Companies all over are starting to adhere to the demand for face masks. This artist and owner of CPEX or Colorado Pony Express has done just that and has designed an amazing face masks that reveals the Marauders Map from Harry Potter when you breathe. Stefanie Hook said that she just wanted to design a product that would “bring some magic” into the world. She certainly did just that. This fun face mask starts changing when the temperature reaches 82 degrees. No spellwork required.

Stephanie posted this video of the mask she made on TikTok and it’s now gotten more than 400,000 likes. She said that this mask is a prototype and she had no idea the kind of reaction it would receive. Her company CPEX creates hand-sewn plush toys and accessories but decided to make masks also as the demand for them has grown.

Stephanie Hook plans to sell some of these incredible Harry Potter Marauders Map masks on her website starting May 29th. They will be in limited quantities since she is the only one who sews for her company and each mask takes about 17 hours to complete. With the amount of attention these magical masks are getting they are sure to sell out fast. You’ll be able to try and get your own here. Is there a spell for fast check out? We may need it.

Monsters University Harveys Collection Coming To shopDisney

Monsters University Harveys

Harveys is at it again with another fabulous new Disney collaboration! This time a new Monsters University Harveys Collection is coming to shopDisney! If you missed out on the previous Monsters inspired Harveys collection, you won’t want to miss this one!

Monsters University Harveys

Monsters University Harveys

Harvey’s has been releasing sneak peeks of the new collection, which will launch on shopDisney on May 22 at 7:00 AM PST! The collection will feature Mike and Sulley in their college days at Monsters University. That means we’ll see them in their MU, and OK Frat outfits, as well as their MU friends and foes.


The showcased crossbody will even come with an MU pennant coin purse! It’s reversible too, one side is an MU pennant, while the other side is an “OK” pennant! I truly love the details that Harveys puts into their collections. Harveys collections do tend to sell out quite quickly, so make sure you aren’t late if you want to snag some of these monstrous pieces.

Monsters INC, and University have always held a special place in my heart, so I can’t wait to see this entire collection! Will you be adding a new Monsters University Harveys bag to your collection?

We’re LIVE From Reopening Day at Disney Springs in Disney World!

Last week Universal Studios CityWalk reopened with new health and safety procedures in place.

Disney Springs

Now, Disney Springs is officially reopening. And we’re here live to report on all of the restaurant, retail, and new procedures.

We will be updating this post throughout the day, so be sure to check back for new information and details. And if you have any questions about the opening of Disney Springs or the new procedures, please let us know and we will do our best to pass the information along.

Disney Springs

Today, select third-party locations are opening. You can see a complete list of the restaurants opening today — here. And you can check out the full list of retail locations reopening today — here.

It is important to note that Disney-owned locations will be opening May 27th. You can read all of the details about those locations — here. We will be reporting live from Disney Springs that day as well, so be sure to check the blog for all the need-to-know news.

Now, let’s get into the reopening of Disney Springs!

Parking

Guests are able to self-park in the Orange and Lime garages and all surface parking lots are closed at this time. Valet parking is unavailable at this time as well.

Orange Lot

This morning we were told that Orange garage would be filled first. When we arrived it was self-park, meaning we weren’t directed by a Cast Member and we could park anywhere.

Parking Lot

Markers are located throughout the garage to remind people to stay 6ft apart.

6ft apart pole

Warning signs are spread out throughout the garage as well.

Warning Sign

Hand sanitizer locations are also available throughout the garage.

Hand Sanitizer

Due to capacity restrictions at Disney Springs, once the parking garages are full, guests will no longer be able to park and visit Disney Springs. This includes guests who have booked a dining reservation. If a guest is unable to make their reservation because Disney Springs is closed due to capacity, the dining guarantee charge will be waived.

Rideshare drop-offs are allowed and take place in the Marketplace lot.

Masks and Temperature Checks

When guests arrive at Disney Springs, they undergo a temperature check at one of the four open entrances. Temperatures are being checked at 4 locations: Orange and Lime garages, along with the Hotel Plaza Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge and the rideshare location.

Advent Health Signage

Markers have been placed on the ground to assist with social distancing.

Temperature Check

Advent Health employees use a touchless forehead thermometer for each guest. If you are wearing a hat, you will be asked to remove it.

Temperature Screening

Those with a temperature above 100.4 F or above are directed to an additional location (which is a large white tent) for rescreening and assistance. Guests can go here to sit and cool off. After cooling off, they can try to screen their temp one more time. After the additional screening, those with a temp that is still 100.4 F or higher will not be allowed into Disney Springs and their party is not allowed entry either.

Signage

These temperature checks are required for anyone going to Disney Springs, including guests, Cast Members, vendors, and other employees.

Temperature Screening

Face coverings are required for everyone (except for guests 3 and under). The only time guests are permitted to remove their face coverings is when they are dining.

Advent Health Cast Member

Disney has also shared that they may have a few disposable masks available for those who have arrived without a mask. However, these are not guaranteed, so come prepared!

Entering Disney Springs

Entering Disney Springs

There were a few guests, but crowds this morning have been pretty low.

Orange Garage

The official Springs hours are 10AM – 10PM for the time being.

Disney Springs

Disneyland Still Doesn’t Have An Opening Date So Let’s Just Engage in Rank Speculation About It Instead

Hi everyone, you may recall that the last time we tried to glance at the crystal ball to see when Disneyland might reopen, Disney was accepting reservations starting on June 1, 2020. As we approach that date, there is a new cutoff for new reservations per Disneyland’s site (as of the most recent update as this goes to press of May 8) — July 1, 2020. Does this mean that Disneyland will be opening on July 1?  Does that mean that it definitely won’t be open before July 1? Officially, it doesn’t mean anything until Disney announces a reopening date, and the only thing certain right now is uncertainty, and any reservations made or held at the moment should be considered tentative until we hear something official from Disney one way or the other.

For those of you with Annual Passes, you can check out our last article on this topic for details on your options during the closure. For additional details on how other aspects of Disney travel are impacted, including the myriad different individual tickets, group tickets, special events and dining, please check Disney’s COVID-19 impact site.

So, we obviously don’t know when the park is going to open, but we can play soothsayer and have fun trying to guess, right? Well, I’m not going to wade into that minefield, but you’re free to do so. Here’s some info to help fuel your rampant guesswork, including some information that might, emphasis on might, offer some insight on what a COVID-19-era Disneyland Resort will look like:

So, once again, we really don’t know when Disneyland will reopen, but hopefully this gives you something to needle over in the interim while we wait for an announcement. As soon as we know, we’ll be sure to let you know!
