Central Florida Reopening Guidelines for Theme Parks & Restaurants

Earlier today the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force met and discussed Central Florida Reopening Guidelines for Theme Parks & Restaurants. Since Walt Disney World falls into both Orange and Osceola counties it is safe to say that these proposed guidelines will be explored by Disney World and even Universal Studios Orlando.

The business recommendations were broken into guidelines and mandates for the Central Florida Theme Parks, Hotels, and Restaurants.

Let’s take a look:
