As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, policy changes continue to be made.
Flying to Orlando
Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order suspending all local COVID-19 restrictions. In practice, this affects enforceability of local COID-19 regulations, like the Orange County mask mandate. Disney World has already responded to that order, and now, the Orlando International Airport has done the same.
Good news if you’re flying into Orlando!
Flying to Orlando
You might know the Orlando International Airport (MCO) for its little Disney touches: after all, the Magical Express drops you off and picks you up there, and the airport has its own Magic of Disney store! But now, something NEW is on the way.
Disney World tends to be a spring break destination, and this year is no different.

We’ve seen Park Pass Reservations fill up a LOT in the month of March, meaning Disney World will look pretty busy in the coming weeks. Most people that fly to Disney World go through the Orlando International Airport, and it looks like the airport is expecting a major travel increase for spring break.
Many of the guests that fly to Disney World travel through the nearby Orlando International Airport.

Despite CDC warnings against holiday travel, Orlando International Airport has been expecting a surge in passenger traffic surrounding the holidays.

There certainly are some interesting situations arising in the travel market as a result of the global health crisis.

Perhaps the two most notable of these situations are the changes to the way that air travel works and the temporary and permanent closures that are currently affecting the tourism industry. We’re taking a look at how such massive effects could impact YOUR next Disney vacation and giving some tips to help. Let’s dive in.
At the end of last year, Disney execs were in talks with Virgin Trains about the possibility of a train station on or near Disney property en route to Tampa. The proposed station would mean you could hop on a train at the Orlando airport and get off at Disney. Eek!
Virgin Trains
Though we haven’t heard any news since then about the Disney stations specifically, it looks like things are progressing for the railway! Virgin Trains teams are continuing construction on the South Florida to Orlando Railway, despite the many construction halts around the state.
The Orlando International Airport has been undergoing a major Disney transformation lately!
