Universal

Universal Orlando Resort has announced that they will open up their theme parks to Team Members only tomorrow, on June 1, 2020 to test new procedures, and will then begin opening up the theme parks to annual passholders only on June 3 and 4th, and then finally, to the general public on June 5, 2020. This is obviously going to be a big week for Universal, and all eyes will be on the resort as the first major theme park in the country to reopen. But how are they going to manage guests, capacity, and restrictions. Here's everything we know so far:

1. Hotel guests will have priority when it comes to capacity limits 

Though we know that there will be overall park capacity limits in place at Universal Orlando Resort, Universal has confirmed that they will be accounting for hotel guests when setting theme park capacity limits and visitors staying on property will not be turned away if the park closes to new guests due to capacity. 

Hotels that will be open this week will include Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Universal’s Aventura Hotel and Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites. Reopening dates for Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn and Suites will be announced at a later time.

2. There will not be a reservation system

Though Walt Disney World will be using a reservation-based system to manage capacity, Universal will be limiting attendance throughout the day, and making capacity decisions on the fly, saying that there may be times when the parks reach capacity and additional guests will not be admitted.

So, I guess Universal will not be following capacity guidelines, and will make their own rules. If you are staying at one of their hotels, you can get in even if park has reached guideline capacity.
