But one thing is certain when the time comes to safely reopen the Disney Parks, the reopening of Shanghai Disneyland will in all likelihood serve as a blueprint as to what we might be seeing in our own futures. With this in mind, here is a closer look as Shanghai Disneyland welcomed back guests today.

Beginning today, May 11, guests at Shanghai Disneyland need to reserve a QR code ticket in advance and bring a government ID, mask, as well as an official Shanghai Health QR Code from the day of the visit. The health QR code is doled out as soon as guests arrive at the park and have their temperatures taken with infrared cameras that appear to be fitted with facial recognition software. The code is a government-backed contact tracing system supplemented by the park’s mandatory ID match between the ticket holder and buyer.

From that point, the reservation code is checked before you head through security ultimately reaching the actual entrance where IDs are taken.  Up until that point, interactions are pretty contact-free, but entrance workers must physically handle/scan IDs.

In terms of park experience, all lines will have marked waiting areas to maintain distances. Though masks must be worn as soon as you hit the health checkpoint, they can be removed when eating. Certain dining tables won’t be available for use to keep distance between guests.
