As shared by OrlandoSentinel: “The madness of wall-to-wall Christmastime crowds from past years was gone, but the parks certainly were not empty this week. Many said they weren’t scared away by COVID-19 even as Florida remains in the pandemic red zone, according to a Dec. 13 White House task force report.”

“The holiday crowds at Disney come as health experts discourage people from traveling during the Christmas season. Despite that advice, Orlando International Airport expects nearly 1.5 million travelers during the three-week holiday season.”

“Disney revealed in November it increased the attendance cap from 25% to 35%. Neither park releases daily attendance numbers. At the Magic Kingdom, the park felt both busy or empty, the perception changing in an instant depending on your vantage point.”
