“Our plans have been weeks in the making and build upon our recent experience reopening portions of Universal Orlando City Walk,” John R.

CityWalk reopened May 14. The schedule for the reopening of Universal Orlando is as follows: from June 1-2, the park would reopen for employees for testing. From June 3-4, the park will be open to invited guests and some pass holders. From June 5 on, the park will be open to the public.
