Now a social distance and wearing masks, tourists visiting Florida will be able to take pictures with Mickey Mouse again when Disney World reopens on July 11, a month after Sea World and Universal Studios are ready to do the same, said Friday officials.
“Walt Disney World Resort and Sea World have received approval for their reopening plans,” said Jerry Demings, mayor of Orange County, which is home to the city of Orlando where the parks are located.
Florida has given the green light for the reopening of Sea World on June 10 and Walt Disney World on July 11, the mayor said.
The Disney parks “Magic Kingdom” and “Animal Kingdom” will open the same day, followed by the EPCOT center on July 15th.
The Universal Studios theme park has already approved its reopening on June 5, after the Orlando theme parks were shut down in mid-March in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
“It may be different from the last time you visited,” said the Disney World website. “But together, we can find new ways to create magic moments – and memories to cherish.”
Orlando, located in central Florida, is home to most of the state’s theme parks and annually attracts millions of visitors from around the world.
