Travelers from New York area are no longer required to quarantine in Florida New Yorkers traveling to Florida no longer will be required to quarantine when they arrive in the Sunshine State. Gov. Ron DeSantis quietly rescinded an executive order Wednesday that stipulated travelers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut must isolate themselves for 14 days to limit the spread of COVID-19. The change could be beneficial to tattered tourism businesses that are trying to recover from the pandemic, particularly with the fall travel season approaches. But New York still restricts travelers from Florida, which means many New Yorkers who resettled here still face a predicament.

Walt Disney World Park Hours Reduced Effective September 8 Beginning September 8, 2020, the four parks at Walt Disney World will see operating reductions of 1-2 hours each. When the Disney parks reopened in July, each began operating under a standard daily 10-hour schedule. But as children return to school in the fall–virtual or otherwise–crowds are expected to decline further. As a result, parks will be open to guests fewer hours each day. Effective September 8, the daily schedule will be as follows:
Magic Kingdom: 9 AM to 6 PM
Disney's Animal Kingdom: 9 AM to 5 PM
Disney's Hollywood Studios: 10 AM to 7 PM
EPCOT: 11 AM to 7 PM
