Orange County COVID-19 Team Visits Walt Disney World
Three reports from The Orange County “strike team” found Disney parks in compliance…
DEVELOPING STORY — MYnews13 journalist Ashley Carter — a MUST follow for any Florida theme park enthusiast — just popped into my feed tweeting about the Orange County COVID-19 “Strike Team” and three visits to Walt Disney World.
For those asking, the inspection document doesn't have a lot of details. It basically lists places visited by strike team, inspection date and whether they are in compliance. There are sections for if the business is practicing social distancing, following face mask orders, etc. https://t.co/KxR1NFHRpV

The strike team visited Magic Kingdom on October 16 and found it to be in compliance w/ COVID-19 measures. However, note in the comments: "Guests have been more non-compliant with the wearing of the face masks but employees seem to still be enforcing the wearing of them."

So, breaking it down to brass tacks, what we can learn from Ms. Carter?
She reported:
- The Orange County strike team visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 9 for an inspection and found the park to be in compliance with COVID-19 safety measures.
- The strike team also visited Disney Springs on October 29 for an inspection and found it to be in compliance with COVID-19 safety measures.
- The strike team visited Magic Kingdom on October 16 and found it to be in compliance w/ COVID-19 measures. However, note in the comments: “Guests have been more non-compliant with the wearing of the face masks but employees seem to still be enforcing the wearing of them.”
Ashley also explained that there was NOT a heck of a lot of detail in the reports (as of yet).
Carter clarified:

All of this corroborates an earlier report in the New York Times that spoke to the efficacy of the Disney approach to COVID-19.
