ORLANDO, Fla. - The proposed phased reopening plans presented by Walt Disney World and SeaWorld Orlando have been approved by the Orange County Reopening Task Force and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, meaning they could begin reopening soon after months of being shut down because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Governor Ron DeSantis must now give the final approval before the parks can officially reopen their gates. The theme parks presented the plans to the Orange County Task Force on Wednesday. "We must balance the safety concerns during this healthcare crisis," said Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings.
