food IS a theme park
Theme parks’ safety policies have been changing frequently lately.
Universal Orlando
Recently, Universal Orlando dropped its outdoor face mask mandate for guests, and Disney World followed shortly after. This comes as parks are increasing capacity and reducing social distancing, too. And now, we have confirmed with Universal that another change is on the way.
You can’t believe everything that you hear about Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom was the first Walt Disney World park to open, making it an iconic focal point of the Resort. But over the course of its nearly 50-year history, some misconceptions about the park have popped up. Let’s take a look at — and debunk — some absolute lies about Magic Kingdom!
Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen a number of updates announced when it comes to COVID-19 and safety precautions theme parks have implemented as a result of the pandemic.
Face Masks at Universal
Recently, Disney announced that it would be phasing out temperature checks and reducing social distancing. Universal Orlando Resort also made some changes in their parks. Now, Universal Orlando has announced a big change when it comes to their mask policies.
Universal Orlando just reopened its doors to guests weeks ago.
Universal Orlando Resort
Even though Universal’s hotels are open, CityWalk locations are reopening, and the theme parks are resuming operations, it appears the company has taken steps to let go a number of employees even after operations have resumed.
Universal Orlando reopened a little over a week ago to greet all sorts of guests, show off its new Virtual Queue system, and introduce U-Rest locations (even if there were some bumps in the road throughout the day).
The Simpsons
Prior to reopening to the general public, Universal Orlando offered Annual Passholder previews. And now, Universal is doing something else for APs eager to hang out at the parks again.
Disney Springs and Universal Orlando’s CityWalk reopened a few months ago and brought about several big changes — some of which are taking a little more getting used to than others! 😉

Both shopping and dining districts mandated the use of masks for both guests and employees. Making the change to wearing masks in daily life has been a bit of a transition — but add a little Florida heat and walking around all day to the mix and things start to get a little swampy pretty FAST.
Universal Orlando is now OPEN for a special Annual Passholder preview, (and we’re ready to drink all the Butterbeer we can get our hands on)!

While we’ve been taking you to some of Universal’s newly reopened hotels, as well as showing you how the new virtual lines works, we’ve received a lot of questions from you guys about what it’s like to wear face coverings while riding attractions!
Universal Orlando will officially be opening to the public on June 5th. Buuut, if you’re an Annual Passholder, you’ll get to go back home to Hogwarts early!
Universal
After Universal Orlando announced its extensive health and safety protocols, it also stated that they would be opening the parks to team members and Annual Passholders prior to June 5th.
Universal Orlando is reopening its theme parks to the public on June 5th.
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando is set to become one of the first major theme park resorts to reopen in the United States. Though they have set a precedent with the reopening of Universal CityWalk last week, the company is still working out many of the details about how their reopening will look on June 5th. Here’s what we know so far.
Just yesterday, we found out that Universal Orlando had submitted a reopening plan that included an early June opening date.
Islands of Adventure Main Entrance
From there, the plan had to go through several rounds of approval. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings approved the plan last night. From there, the plan went on for approval from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and apparently it was approved.
Universal Orlando just released a statement that Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and Universal’s Volcano Bay will open to the public on June 5th.
