Raise your hand if you are ready to be On the Go in the Parks this weekend…I know I am!

As the theme parks of Central Florida start relaxing their COVID-19 Protocols, there are some important things to note and to keep in mind as you are planning your next vist to be On the Go in the Parks.

  • Both parks are still requiring guests to wear face coverings except when guests are stationary eating or drinking in appropriate areas.
  • The Universal Orlando Resort announced via their website that they would no longer be conducting temperature checks for guests prior to entry into the park and will be reducing their social distancing to 1 meter/3 feet.
  • While not part of the official announcement, park guests have shared on social media that the Universal Orlando Resort parks are once again utilizing the single-rider lines, seating parties together, and filling all rows in both their attractions and shows.
  • At the Walt Disney World Resort, temperature checks will be phased out in all areas that require them by May 16, 2021.
  • Theme park reservations will continue to be required for guests to enter a park.
