Universal Studios Parks in Florida have been closed since mid-March. The closure was due to the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic and they closed for an indefinite amount of time. Over the course of these last months, there have been many changes to the things that we do on a day to day basis. More things are becoming contactless services and more people are wearing their face masks for their own protection and the protection of others. Parks are anxious to reopen but even more anxious about making sure that the right protocols are taking place for the protection of all parties involved. Universal Orlando may open as soon as June 1st if their proposal is approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis. If approved to re-open, the parks will look much different than what we are used to.
Do you yearn to visit these parks soon? Or will you be refraining from visiting theme parks for the time being?
Everyone has their own reasoning but the facts are still there, regardless stay safe and be safe.
Some of the changes that will take place are listed below:
