What to know before going to Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort continues to work closely with local health officials and their own health and safety experts and reference CDC guidelines with respect to the safety of Team Members and guests during their limited opening of the popular Florida resort. Currently, you can expect the following to be apparent during your visit:

• Limiting capacity and following social distancing guidelines throughout all attractions, restaurants and shops throughout the destination
• Increasing our already-aggressive cleaning and disinfection procedures, and frequently cleaning all high touch surfaces
• All team members will undergo temperature checks and wear face coverings
• All team members will participate in extensive training on our new procedures

“Things are going to feel a little different, and I encourage everyone to become well-versed in our updated operational guidelines, but know that everyone at Universal Orlando is looking forward to having you back. We’ve got a bit of a service mentality around here — whether we’re serving you food, getting you on a ride, selling you a T-Shirt — serving our guests is what we do and our Team Members are grateful for the opportunity to go the extra mile on your behalf.” Bill Davis, President of Universal Orlando stated in a recent letter to the public.

Universal has produced a quick video highlighting changes and what visitors can expect on an upcoming trip to the resort.
