A local task force has given their first set of recommendations as to how Florida’s theme parks, hotels and restaurants should reopen. While this is just the first set of guidelines from the task force, it could see theme parks and attractions reopen as soon as June, with workers returning sometime in May to prepare the attractions, restock, and train for all the new safety procedures.

Staff to randomly and regularly wipe down all surfaces.
Attraction Queues will have markers to keep guest groups six feet apart.
Senior members of the staff, age 65 and up, are encouraged to Stay Home during Phase 1 & 2.
Touchless hand sanitizer devices at every attraction entry and exit point.
Touchless hand sanitizer devices at every turnstile and point of entry into the park.
