Airports and airlines are beginning to adjust their health and safety regulations as events unfold. Restrictions are easing up on international travel and airports are implementing new protocols. Just this week we reported on a fancy new system that monitors crowd levels and cleaning frequency. Guests visiting Florida for a trip to Disney World will have more flight options if they choose to fly with Frontier Airlines.
Traveling can be very stressful, especially right now.

That’s why many locations like the Orlando International Airport (MCO) have put several health and safety measures in place. Their employees are required to wear masks, and MCO will soon be among the locations to offer rapid testing for COVID-19 on-site. Now, the airport is piloting a new system to help guests stay physically distanced while at their gate, and we’ve got the details!

We’ve already seen this with crowds in Disney World this week (until today that is), and Disney Park Pass reservations have begun to fill up for the weeks surrounding Christmas. As COVID-19 cases continue to be a concern, airlines are preparing for a busy holiday season while wrestling with health and safety concerns.
Listen, traveling to Walt Disney World is EXPENSIVE. Between buying your theme park tickets, grabbing ALL the snacks, and getting some cool commemorative merch, it really adds up!

Even GETTING to Disney World can be expensive, when you consider the price of plane tickets or filling up gas in your car.
There’s no doubt about it, travel has been difficult over the past few months.

The global health crisis had a major effect on how safe it is to travel, especially internationally. With limitations on flights, countries imposing travel bans, and more; travel has been a challenge for some time. Now, the US is lifting some international travel restrictions — here’s what it could mean for your Disney trip.
We’ve been keeping up with new health measures at the Orange County International Airport (MCO) including the face mask requirement for employees.
