We’re only four weeks out until Disney World’s official grand re-opening!
The parks will be opening in phases with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom slated to re-open first and Epcot and Hollywood Studios following after them. Although we’ve spotted construction on the McDonald’s, Cinderella Castle, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Walkway, there are even MORE new updates coming to Disney World than we even knew about.
Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we were able to see a first look at the new bag check area coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

While the security check has been under construction for a while with green tarps near the parking lots, the bag check area is projected to (hopefully) open along with the rest of Animal Kingdom on July 11th.

There is a new area for the trams when Disney puts more transportation back into use during the parks’ phased re-openings…

…and enough space for numerous guests to be able to go through security for a smooth entrance into Animal Kingdom.

While there is PLENTY of progress on the new bag check, we can’t be fully certain that the construction will be finished in a month. Disney Springs is also testing a new touchless security check method today that could possibly be used when parks re-open in July as well. However, we will continue to keep you updated on all things Disney World and its re-opening!
Take a look at what exciting Disney Transportation we spotted working in the parks this week!
