Soon after Orange County, Florida lifted its outdoor mask mandate, Universal Orlando Resort quickly followed suit. We visited both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure to see how things have changed.

Stickers have been added to signs to indicate the updated mask policy.

A new safety announcement is also being played.
