And we already know Disney World is taking every precaution to ensure its guests aren’t experiencing any symptoms of illness and requiring all resort guests regardless of which state they’re coming from to complete a Health Acknowledgment prior to their stay.

But now it appears things are getting even more complicated for residents of the tri-states. That’s because in addition to completing a required two-week quarantine upon arriving in Florida, tri-state residents now also being required to complete a 14-day quarantine when they return home. Theme park reporter Scott Gustin just confirmed this order on his Twitter account.

Cases have been on the rise in nine states including Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah, and Texas. According to the Governor of New York, Andrew M.

The new criteria for the travel advisory that has been established is 10 infections per 100,000 residents on a seven-day rolling average or 10 percent of the state’s total population infected on rolling seven day average. Since Florida’s cases exceed this threshold, Cuomo has announced residents of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut must self-quarantine upon their return home after visiting the state of Florida. This means completing a required two weeks of self-quarantine BEFORE and AFTER your stay.
