The Orange County Task Force has approved Universal Orlando’s plan to reopen to the public on June 5, according to WFTV9.

The plan will have to be approved next by Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings. If it’s approved, it will then be sent to Gov. Ron DeSantis for final approval.

The parks would first open to workers on June 1 to test out their reopening plans, according to officials. Select guests would be welcomed back on June 3 and 4, then to the public on June 5.

The plan includes temperature checks and guests will be asked to wear masks. Guests will be provided with a mask if they don’t come with one.

Many rides will move to virtual lines and no single rider lines.

  Restaurants should operate at no more than 75 percent of building capacity. Parties should not exceed 10 people. Businesses should limit inside waiting areas for patrons waiting to be seated. Allow walk-ins but continue to emphasize a reservations-only business model or call ahead seating to manage spacing effectively in restaurant. Outdoor dining areas should continue to be prioritized.
