In response to health and safety concerns, Governor Gavin Newsom has put strict restrictions on theme park reopenings. Now, the state has set a new record for daily COVID-19 cases.
It doesn’t take a lot these days to be incredible, at least that’s the case if you ask the Parr family and friends, a.k.a. The Incredibles!

The Pixar favs are the stars of a new Public Service Campaign from the Disneyland Resort that will be visible around across Orange County and Los Angeles County reminding residents to follow local health and safety guidelines.
There’s been lots of news this week surrounding the distribution of the new Pfizer vaccine.

This morning, the first COVID-19 vaccines arrived in California following their recent approval by the FDA. Now, we have an update from California Governor Gavin Newsom about the distribution of vaccines in California.
The situation with the global pandemic is constantly developing. We’ve seen that COVID-19 testing kits can now be purchased online, and rules have recently changed out at Disneyland due to the stay-at-home order that is currently in place for Southern California.

Earlier today we also saw that Florida has received its first set of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines and even administered the first vaccine to a nurse during this morning’s press conference. But, Florida isn’t alone in terms of receiving doses of the coronavirus vaccine. Late last night, California also received its first shipment of the vaccine.
The situation with the global pandemic has been rapidly changing all around the world. Recently, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland closed again due to rising COVID-19 numbers in the area, and Southern California was placed under a regional stay-at-home order based on its ICU numbers.

There’s also been some news in terms of a COVID-19 vaccine, with the Pfizer vaccine approved and the expectation of thousands of doses being distributed to Florida soon, including many to Orlando. And today a vaccine milestone was reached — the first Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines have been received and administered in Florida.
Florida just recently passed 1 million total positive COVID-19 cases, and it seems that infection rates are on the rise.

We shared recently that a vaccine is likely headed for the state, but with case numbers at their high since earlier this year, health officials are encouraging people to stay home. What does this mean for the state and for vacationers headed to the theme parks? Let’s check out the latest update.
Disney World and places all over the world put quite a few things into practice to try to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including mask requirements, more access to hand sanitizers and hand washing stations, sanitization of certain areas, and more.

Some airports have already begun offering COVID-19 testing on-site. And soon, Orlando International Airport will join the list of locations offering tests for passengers.
With the rising numbers of COVID-19 across the country, including in Florida, it’s important to stay informed, have emergency plans in place, and be prepared.

If you have COVID-19, you will not be allowed to enter all locations at Walt Disney World Resort. But, what if you do not have COVID-19 (or don’t know that you have it), and begin to develop symptoms or test positive during your stay in Walt Disney World? Here’s what we know.
In March of 2020, the Disney parks around the world shut down due to the global pandemic.
Disneyland Gate
Not only were theme parks affected, but shops, restaurants, and schools closed down as well. Even though some Disney theme parks have reopened, others, like Disneyland, remain closed. Recently Los Angeles County announced a safer-at-home order, and today we found out the nearby City of Los Angeles is implementing the same order.
