[Orlando] June 5 U Orlando to re-open (see linked article)

[jcruise86]

I really hope guests don't get COVID-19. I'd hate for guests & their families suffer and for the parks to be associated with death. I have been very impressed with Universal in the past so I'm hopeful, but I won't be going this summer and probably not next summer.

Thanks for this article, Dusty & the Micechat crew!

Sorry if this post sends this thread right to the Mr. Toad Hell of Micechat!

Not only will healthy young families get to have a few fun theme park days, but they probably won't get sick, and might infect grandparents back home & inherit money years sooner, then get to take their kids on Disney Cruises!

And (assuming Disney World also opens in June) you Haunted Mansion ghosts, there are some older, heaver guests who smoke (higher risk of becoming COVID-19 fatalities) who are just dying to see you! To divinity and beyond!

But hey, you canaries about to enter the Seven Dwarfs mine, thanks for testing things for the rest of us. You're like the Mercury 7 astronauts.

I just got this message from Universal Orlando about their re-opening on June 5:

We’re Getting Ready to Re-open Universal Orlando Resort is opening to a limited capacity on June 5th. We’re excited to announce that our gates are about to reopen. Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay will welcome guests beginning June 5th. This carefully managed reopening comes with stringent new health, safety and hygiene procedures in place. So, as we enjoy our parks and hotels together again, everyone will need to follow CDC guidelines and the recommendations of health officials, and Universal Orlando’s policies.

Everyone is required to wear a face covering during their visit.

Temperature checks will be required upon arrival, and guests with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater will not be admitted.

Practice social distancing and keep at least 6 feet (2 meters) between your travel party and others.

Wash your hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds.

Yes, there are more rules to follow now—but to play together, we also need to work together for the safety and health of all our guests and team members. Note that any public location where people are present provides an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed during your visit.

I’ll be interested to see how they manage the mask policy at a water park...
