food IS a theme park
It’s been over a year since the Disney parks were closed due to the global health crisis.

Now, the reopened theme parks are still operating at limited capacity, but those limits may grow as more people are vaccinated. Health concerns constituted a major drop in demand for travel, so how is a return to normal demand levels looking?Â
Spring break has seen a surge in travelers to Disney World, and Florida in general, and the TSA just recorded the highest number of passenger screenings in nearly a year.

As more and more people return to travel, more airlines are adding direct flights to Orlando International Airport!
There’s no doubt that it is a busy time if you are traveling to Disney World.
Orlando International Airport
While we’ve seen Disney World pretty crowded this week with all four parks at capacity, it wasn’t totally what we expected. And, if you find yourself flying to Disney World in the next few weeks, you can expect the airports to be fairly busy as well.
Disney World tends to be a spring break destination, and this year is no different.
Orlando Airport
We’ve seen Park Pass Reservations fill up a LOT in the month of March, meaning Disney World will look pretty busy in the coming weeks. Most people that fly to Disney World go through the Orlando International Airport, and it looks like the airport is expecting a major travel increase for spring break.
The global health crisis has created many challenges for the tourism industry, especially for those businesses with cruise lines. Last year, even Disney confirmed that the last of its business to resume would be its cruises.
Disney Cruise Line Wonder Ship
As of this year, sailings for Disney Cruise Line were originally canceled through February, but that was extended to March and April. Select cruises have also been canceled through August.
Spring break season is quickly approaching.

In spring, we typically see major crowds in Disney World as the parks fill for one of the busiest times of the year. And while wait times are rising and Disney extends park hours as March continues, there’s a good chance we won’t see a major swarm of visitors.
It’s no secret that tourism is a HUGE industry in the state of Florida.

With major theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, miles of beautiful beaches, and a host of other activities, Florida attracts visitors from all over the world. The coronavirus pandemic had a big impact on traveling last year, but just how badly did it hurt Florida? Today, we found out.
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, rules regarding masks, travel, and more in the U.S. and other countries continue to be discussed or changed depending on the circumstances.

So far, we’ve shared that the U.S. may be considering some domestic travel restrictions, COVID-19 testing is required for international flights coming into the U.S., and COVID-19 testing may be required for domestic flights in the future. But, now we’re seeing some important updates coming out of the United Kingdom that could seriously impact travel plans.
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, there have been many changes to the way that we travel.
