It's been nearly four long years months since Disney closed its doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. While Disneyland in Anaheim, California, recently postponed its reopening indefinitely, Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is still on track to open on July 11. Want to know what the Happiest Place on Earth will look like with new safety protocols in place? This viral TikTok shows Disney fans what they can expect if they plan on visiting the theme park when it reopens.

On Tuesday, TikTok user @themeparkshark posted a viral video of the newly reopened park, explaining that Disney World opened its doors to cast members for an exclusive preview. As he takes viewers through the theme park, he points out all the changes Disney has made amid the pandemic. The first change the video shows is cast members dressed as various Disney characters greeting guests on a as they enter the park. At areas for ride lines, there are now glass barriers "almost like a hockey rink" to help guests maintain social distancing. The video also shows characters social distancing on a barge and a roof.

Along with the new protocols, the video gives viewers a glimpse of Cinderella's iconic castle, which Disney just royally revamped in honor of the animated film's 70th anniversary. Thanks to a vibrant new paint job, the castle looks amazing.

Curious about other safety guidelines Disney World will be implementing? Guests can expect temperature checks and face coverings. Additionally, attractions and experiences (like fireworks and meet and greets) may be temporarily suspended.
