This Orlando-Area Water Park is the First to Reopen!

Just in time for the hot summer heat: the first Orlando-area water park is reopening!

As businesses slowly start to reopen across the country, we will begin to hear of the many Orlando-area attractions that are reopening.

With CityWalk reopening at Universal Studios last week and Disney Springs reopening yesterday, parts of the county are already beginning to reopen.

We will also hopefully hear a reopening plan and date from the area’s large theme parks like Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld in the coming days. Beginning today, they will be presenting their reopening plan to the Orange County Economic Task Force.

This plan will need to be endorsed by Mayor Demings before heading to the desk of Governor DeSantis for final approval.

In the meantime, we will continue to keep you updated on the reopening plans of many attractions in the area, including one that was just announced.
