We’re LIVE from the Grand Reopening of Universal Orlando’s Theme Parks
A few days ago we reported LIVE from the Universal Orlando’s Annual Passholder preview.

Today, the park has officially reopened to the general public and we’re back to see how crowds look and to see if Universal has implemented new procedures and worked out a few of the kinks we saw at the Annual Passholder preview.
We will be updating this post LIVE throughout the day, so be sure to check back for more information.
Parking
We arrived at 7:15AM to a line of people waiting for the parking garages to open. Around 8:30AM, the garages opened and the line slowly began to move.

This process took about 45 minutes from start to finish.

But once we actually entered the garage, things went very smoothly. Universal is continuing to park cars in every other spot, so guests can distance themselves from others when exiting their vehicle. Once you exit your car, team members will likely fill the empty spots next to where you’ve parked.

Temperature Checks
As a reminder, everyone planning to visit Universal Orlando must undergo a temperature screening. If you have a temperature above 100.4F, you will not be granted access to Universal’s CityWalk area or their theme parks.
Temp Checks
Although there were quite a few people, the temperature check process was very smooth and efficient.

Turnstiles and Ticketing
Universal is NOT using a reservation system like SeaWorld and Disney World will be upon reopening. Universal, is still limiting capacity. So let’s take a look at how they are implementing this process.
8:30AM: The line for the turnstile was about 15-20 parties long. And team members ensured that each party was keeping the appropriate amount of distance from each other.
Universal Lines
The line of people waiting to get tickets was much longer. While this looks like a lot of people, remember this line was spaced out and organized by team members as well.
