If it sometimes feels like it’s hard to stay on top of all the developments, you’re not alone! The latest mask update comes from the Florida Health Secretary and Surgeon General, which suggests that full vaccinated Floridians can go in public without a mask.
As the situation with the pandemic develops, we’ve seen a number of policies announced and changes made.
Flying to Orlando
Recently, we’ve heard about some updates regarding vaccine passports in Florida, and social distancing and mask requirements in Orange County, Florida. Now we’ve got an important update about mask requirements in airports, on commercial aircraft, and more.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Disney announced that it would be building a Star Wars hotel experience called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The “Star Wars hotel” is more of a cruise-type experience where guests will stay aboard a “spaceship” for 2 nights and participate in all kinds of activities including lightsaber training, operating the ship’s defense systems, meeting Star Wars characters, and more. Reservations were set to open in 2020 (but they didn’t) and the hotel experience is set to open in 2021. But, if Disney does open the Star Wars hotel this year, a few things could go wrong. Today, we’re breaking that all down for you.
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, we’ve seen a number of changes and specific policies announced.
A Look at the Florida Palm Trees
We’ve especially seen quite a lot of discussion on the topic of vaccine passports. The Florida governor has made statements about vaccine passports and passed an executive order on the topic as well. But now another part of the Florida government has taken action regarding vaccine passports.
Recently, we’ve seen some big changes made regarding distancing and masks in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Physical Distancing Signs
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued updated guidance regarding what activities fully vaccinated individuals can do outdoors without a mask. And earlier today, Mayor Demings of Orange County, Florida (where part of Disney World is located) relaxed some distancing rules in the county and announced some mask policy changes coming in the future. Mayor Demings also specifically spoke about theme parks and what changes might happen there.

Just yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed certain parts of its mask guidance when it comes to outdoor activities for those who are fully vaccinated.
In Orange County, Florida, the county where part of Walt Disney World is located, there is a mask mandate in place. The Orange County Mayor has recently indicated that changes regarding the mask mandate and social distancing rules may be coming this summer, and now we’ve got some important updates.
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccinations has continued, we’ve seen the guidelines and regulations from various government entities and even theme parks change.
Face Mask
Recently, we saw a major theme park stop temperature checks and outdoor mask requirements. The CDC has also updated its indoor mask guidance for those who are fully vaccinated. But, now BIG changes have been announced when it comes to the use of mask outdoors.
Thinking of traveling this summer? Maybe even flying to Europe?
Planning to Fly Soon?
About a week ago, we took a look at when Americans might be able to travel to France. And now we’ve got an update when it comes to travel to the European Union as a whole.

Recently, the CDC has stated that fully vaccinated individuals can gather indoors, and states such as Florida and California have begun to look at relaxing restrictions. And now, another announcement is on the way.
The rumors are sort of perpetually out there — “Disney World is going to build a 5th theme park!” “It’ll be based on the villains!” “No, it’ll all be princess-themed!” “No, it’ll be based on Disney’s live-action movies!”
Welcome to Disney World!
We get the hype. Heck, we want it to be true! We can’t deny that an entirely BRAND NEW 5th Disney World theme park in Orlando would be pretty amazing. But, will it actually happen? Why hasn’t it happened already? And, better yet, why might it NOT happen anytime soon? Today we’re breaking down all of our thoughts on why Disney World CAN’T just add a 5th theme park (sorry, guys!!).
