Florida Task Force Meeting — April 24, 2020
The Re-Opening Florida Task Force has been meeting multiple times this week to discuss how to go about allowing businesses to start accepting customers again and what a timeline for that could look like. Although the reopening of Walt Disney World and Universal Resort Orlando have not yet been discussed in detail, we can get a little insight as to how things might look at least from a food and beverage and hotel standpoint.
Here are some key points from the meetings however they are still vague at this point.
Restaurants
Required to thoroughly clean and sanitize all areas
Make hand sanitizer readily available to guests
Modify floor plans to allow for social distancing and not allow guests to congregate in waiting areas or bars.
Taking employee’s temperatures is optional
Hotels in Central Florida
Frequent cleaning and sanitation of guest areas and rooms must occur
Signs encouraging social distancing will be posted
Hand sanitizers and wipes must be provided in public areas
Hotels are also encouraged to utilize online check-in and check-out processes, at Walt Disney World, this can be arranged through the My Disney Experience mobile app. Hilton and Marriott also offer similar technology
Finally, there was a lot of discussion on the idea of consistency across the industries. The Task Force wants all restaurants, hotels, and theme parks to adopt uniform guidelines so that guests feel safe. If they don’t feel safe, they won’t come out.
