Today is the opening of Disney-owned locations in Disney Springs. And according to reports, the Walt Disney World shopping district has already hit its capacity limit within an hour of opening.

According to Touring Plans, there’s a six hour wait to get in. Yikes!
Meanwhile, over at Disney Springs where a thunderstorm is rolling in, multiple Cast Members at World of Disney have said that it is currently a 6 hour wait to get in.

While packed, it doesn’t seem to be going as smoothly as Disney would have probably hoped.
The biggest issue seem to be social distancing. People just… aren’t, according to Twitter.
Disney Springs is a lot busier today as World of Disney opens back up! They ran out of tape for social distancing so are asking guests to stay 6 feet away from guests in front of them. pic.twitter.com/k0uYmKs8Ah

The wait for World of Disney shopping is 3 hours long. You can give your info to a cast member and they will text when it’s your time to shop. pic.twitter.com/H6lSDIILJj

Disney Springs will be a field test of new social distancing procedures for when the theme parks reopen in July, so some of DisTwitter is worried that failing the test at Springs could mean even stricter rules in the Parks.
@iheartbuzzy99 this is how disney gonna look when it opens… they using disney springs as a test and its failing already because people wanna be stupid

However, Disney has just announced their “Social Distance Squad” for Walt Disney World, so hopefully some of the kinks will be ironed out by then!
