As we reported yesterday, I think it is likely that the MLS teams and staff will be staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House. (It appears the NBA will be staying at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.) However, nothing is official at this time.
The Major League Soccer Player’s Association (MLSPA), released the following statement regarding the restart of the season among the current climate in the country:

We recognize that we are all moving forward — as players, as fans, as societies, as a world — into a future that looks much different than the one we envisioned a few months ago. There are problems we face collectively that are both more urgent, and more important, than competing on the field.
