CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline reports:

Disney said Thursday that Disney Springs, part of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL, will begin a phased reopening May 20 as coronavirus-related restrictions begin to ease.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, “a limited number of shopping and dining experiences that are owned by third-party operating participants will begin to open during this initial phase. The rest of Walt Disney World Resort will remain closed, including theme parks and resort hotels.”

Disney Springs is part of an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at the resort near Orlando. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure closed on March 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A reopening date has not yet been announced.
