Reopening Disney World, SeaWorld


Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said Walt Disney World and SeaWorld will virtually present their reopening plans to the county’s Economic Recovery Task Force on Wednesday morning.


The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. and run until noon.


The presentations will include the theme park operators’ proposed reopening dates.


A team of Orange County and Florida Department of Health inspectors visited the theme parks Tuesday to determine if the operators were in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ executive orders.


For the parks to reopen, Demings must endorse their reopening plans and DeSantis must approve them.


Demings said Tuesday that he expects the parks’ reopening plans to be similar to those of the Universal Orlando Resort, which have already been approved by DeSantis.
