Disneyland Launches Covid-19 Prevention Campaign
December 15, 2020, 4:23 PM ·
The Disneyland Resort today kicked off a public service awareness campaign, trying to get more people in Southern California to follow health and safety rules to fight the spread of Covid-19.
Disneyland s theme parks have been closed since March as the state of California limits travel and commercial activity in an attempt to stop the virus spread. The new campaign uses characters from The Incredibles on digital billboards and TV spots around Orange and Los Angeles counties. The campaign emphasizes important health and safety measures, including physical distancing, face coverings, hand washing and more, and leverages each character s personality to bring the message directly to our local communities in a dynamic way, Disney Parks Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pamela Hymel said. Our message is that together we can help the community if we re all responsible and do our part.
New, Budget-Priced Hotel Opens at Universal Orlando
December 15, 2020, 3:17 PM ·
The Universal Orlando Resort today opened Universal s Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites, adding 2,050 budget-priced guest rooms for visitors to the resort.
The second, larger half of the Endless Summer Resort originally was supposed to open in March, but we all know what happened then. Universal Orlando began its phased reopening from the pandemic in June and has seen capacity crowds on recent weekends, though Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure are operating at 35 percent of their peak capacity. The addition of thousands of hotel rooms, starting at under $80 a night, should help position Universal Orlando nicely for potential visitors who want to travel as the industry recovers next year, but who still need to watch their budget after a tough year financially.
