REMINDER: Walt Disney World Will Be Presenting Their Reopening Plans Tomorrow
Just an AWESOME reminder Disney friends that Walt Disney World WILL announce their official reopening plans during an Orange County Economic Task Force meeting taking place tomorrow afternoon between 10 am – 2pm.
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you know that Disney Springs, Walt Disney World’s official downtown shopping district opened to guests last week. However, until this afternoon little had been said about timelines for opening the theme parks.
You can check out the official announcement from Disney here:

Tomorrow’s announcement should provide some clarity to guests with reservations in June and July. However, during the Task Force meeting, it is up to Disney World to submit their plans and then the Task Force will approve them.
Here’s a look at the official agenda for tomorrow’s meeting:
As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog, Universal Orlando announced their reopening plan during last week’s Task Force Meeting. At that time they announced they would be opening the theme parks on June 1, 2020, which was met with unanimous approval.
As you can see from the agenda above, SeaWorld is also expected to present their opening plans tomorrow. Here’s another announcement from WFTV’s Lauren Seabrook:
BREAKING: @WaltDisneyWorld and @SeaWorld will present their reopening plans to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force tomorrow morning at 10am. @WFTV

Seabrook has made several tweets since the original announcement above saying that the Orange County Health Department was onsite at Walt Disney World for inspections today and that initial plans are already in circulation. Take a look:
Orange County Health Department staff were onsite at both @WaltDisneyWorld and @SeaWorld today going over their reopening measures. @OCFLMayor Jerry Demings says he's seen the preliminary plans and the full presentations won't be released until tomorrow's meeting. @WFTV

If you’ll remember, it was last week during the same Task Force meeting that Universal Orlando announced plans that they would be opening up on June 1, 2020, while Disney remained silent about their plans.
It seems like tomorrow we should be closer to an answer!
