Disney will make substantial modifications to the Orlando theme park after the holidays. Walt Disney's Florida theme parks had major alterations because to the COVID-19 pandemic.
California's Disneyland remained down for a long time, but Florida's softer viral response allowed Disney World to reopen, but it was hardly business as usual.
Disney had to make major improvements early in the reopening. Masks were necessary except while eating or drinking and health checks were done at park entrances.
To prevent people from using drinks to remove their masks, the theme park giant required customers to eat or drink while immobile. Disney monitors initially reminded guests to use masks.
It felt strange to visit the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, but capacity limits and reservation requirements may have changed the most.
Most meal ordering went to the Disney World app, and rides were socially spaced six feet apart. Disney World's Florida theme parks will generally resume pre-pandemic operations in January.
To maintain social distance, Disney World visitors needed a ticket and a reservation to visit one of the four theme parks. In addition, "park hopping," where ticket holders may move between four parks, was eliminated.
Disney World's main competitor, Comcast's Universal Studios, never used reservations. Its two Florida theme parks had capacity constraints, but instead of reservations, it featured a line where individuals entered after others departed.
