Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

It’s hard to believe that we have been dealing with this pandemic for more than four months. Disney, however, really set the scene when they closed their doors four months ago. Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California was considering postponing the reopening indefinitely, but in Orlando, Florida, Disney World opened on July 11.

Some people may be wondering what the happiest place on earth will be like when it reopens. Disney fans can now see behind-the-scenes, thanks to a viral TikTok video.

@themeparkshark is a TikTok user who posted the viral video of the park when it first opened to those who work for Disney. At the time, they were only allowing the cast members to take part in it and this video gives us a preview. He takes viewers on a tour of the theme park, pointing out some of the changes Disney has made to stay compliant with the pandemic. Cast members dressed in a variety of Disney costumes are greeting guests as they enter the parks. At ride lines, there are glass barriers that help to keep people apart from each other. Characters also social distance on a barge and a roof.

The video shows something else that you might find interesting, and that is the revamp of Cinderella’s Castle. A new paint job makes it look amazing.

Other changes include temperature checks, the need for face covering, and some new attractions and experiences, although some may be suspended during this time.
