Marvel Studios enjoyed a decade long streak on the top! For ten years, Marvel always had the highest-grossing superhero movie of the year. Until now. What movie could have taken that spot for 2020 you ask? None other than Sonic the Hedgehog.

According to many airports and airlines, the best way they see to get travelers back into the air — and, thereby, back into popular tourist destinations like Disney World in Orlando, FL — is to require COVID-19 testing for all passengers prior to boarding.

MCO Sees Busiest Week Since March Credit: OrlandoAirports.netAccording to a recent article by Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV 9: …officials at Orlando International Airport say making that happen- with a standard testing system across the entire world, or even just the United States- won’t be easy… “We’re in a lot of discussions with airlines and others as to what the appropriate way to test…what the appropriate test is,” OIA CEO Phil Brown said… “And I think it has to be a federal system in order to have uniformity throughout at least the United States,” Brown says. Since different states, and even different counties, throughout the United States have jurisdiction over coronavirus protocols and restrictions, there is currently no federal COVID-19 testing mandate for airline passengers. As per WFTV’s report, it is worth noting that, “Tampa International Airport has started offering tests to all travelers, but they’re not mandatory.” By simply offering these tests, however, Tampa’s airport officials

Believe it or not, now is the time to visit the Walt Disney World Resort. From the low crowds and amazing discounts to the incredibly heightened safety and sanitation measures put in place, Disney World has created a comfortable and enjoyable Guest experience that, right now, is extremely hard to beat. So, if you are still on the fence about whether or not you should go back to The Place Where Dreams Come True this year, here are some things to consider.

But this could not be further from the truth. While, yes, it appears that more and more Guests are beginning to return, Disney World theme parks are still held at a 25% capacity limit.
