After many LONG weeks of closures, we are starting to see some of our favorite Orlando attractions, hotels and restaurants open again! Below is the status of major attractions and businesses, including many that are open as of RIGHT NOW. This list is very fluid and is changing frequently (luckily, since that means that more is opening by the day!).
Please note: Most businesses are operating under a limited capacity, and face coverings are required in Orlando and Orange County.
We suggest that you contact or verify details before visiting. Otherwise, have fun!
