Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park Might Reopen for Summer '21
Typhoon Lagoon might be reopening for summer ‘21
While we don’t yet have an official reopening date for Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, I have spotted some help wanted ads online where Disney is looking to hire college-program lifeguards.
According to the postings, college students are invited to, “Spend a summer by the pool and work as a lifeguard! Disney Water Parks-Typhoon Lagoon is hiring lifeguards to manage safety in and around the pool for our members and guests. “
Walt Disney World Resort is now hiring lifeguards for summer 2021
This could be a clue that Disney World plans to have Typhoon Lagoon opened by summer 2021.
Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park reopens on March 7, 2021 and tickets are on sale now.
Leave A Legacy Returning to Epcot
How to find your tile at the new Leave A Legacy wall at Epcot
Leave A Legacy is returning to EPCOT! With the transformation of the EPCOT main entrance area, the original Legacy sculpture has been removed, but Leave A Legacy lives on in a beautiful new setting just outside the park – in a bright new color, too!
My wife and I have a tile commemorating our 1-year wedding anniversary, so I’m very excited to see this return.
To search for a tile at the new location, you can use your smart device to scan the QR code at the Leave a Legacy display. This opens up the tile finder search feature, which can provide the coordinates for a tile’s location. You can also visit the EPCOT guest Relations team for assistance.
Do you have a Leave A Legacy tile? What does it commemorate? I’ve love to know!
COVID Testing Near Walt Disney World
COVID-19 Testing at Walt Disney World
Some travelers may need a to show a negative COVID-19 test upon returning home after a visit to Walt Disney World to shorten their quarantine period. Fortunately, there are two testing sites right near Disney World: one that does free COVID tests, and one that does paid COVID testing. Florida has been the model state in providing testing since the pandemic began, so it’s a good idea to get your test done here.
Each state has a different policy on how to quarantine when returning from Florida, or any other state. These policies can range from guidelines to executive orders and they change all the time. I recommend that you go to your state’s official COVID-19 website for the most current information on travel advisories.
