food IS a theme park
We’re LIVE from Universal Studios Hollywood today for the grand reopening of the park! Disneyland opens in just a few weeks, but this is our first step inside a major reopened California theme park.
Let’s Go to Universal Studios Hollywood!
Today, we’re going to take a look at new procedures, crowds, and more!
Universal Studios Orlando reopened its theme parks on June 5th while Universal Studios Hollywood’s theme parks are still closed.

Last month, we learned Disney World had made the difficult decision to cancel their Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween parties for 2020. Now Universal Studios has just announced their Halloween Horror Nights for 2020 have been canceled.
Major aspects of the theme parks and attractions in California are beginning to reopen! We recently went on a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood to see what was up at CityWalk, which reopened to the public on June 10!

With theme parks beginning to reopen in Florida, California doesn’t seem to be in the same boat just yet.

Universal Orlando is opening later this week but the same cannot be said for Universal Studios Hollywood. The west coast theme park has yet to receive government approval of reopening, but executives are hoping that it can be sooner rather than later.
Disney World and Disneyland have been closed since March, but attractions over on the east coast have been slowly opening up to guests again.

Universal Orlando plans to open its theme parks this week and Disney World will follow next month. Earlier today, we learned that Disneyland Resort is now only accepting reservations beginning July 15th. But according to recent reports, Universal Studios Hollywood is already considering opening the theme parks in July.
As the temporary theme park closures continue further into 2020, many companies have had to make the difficult decision to furlough some of their employees. Today, we learned that Universal has extended their temporary closure by over a month from their previously projected reopening date.

In addition to extending their closure, Universal has also announced that they will be furloughing many of their employees.
