videos of customers who berated store employees for not allowing them in without a mask went, well, viral.On Friday afternoon, hundreds of people wandered around Downtown Disney, a strip of restaurants and shops that ends at the gates to Disneyland and its sister park, Disney California Adventure. It had reopened the day before to such demand that security had to close the adjacent Simba parking lot to keep people away.

And loud instrumental versions of Disney standards like “Turkey in the Straw” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” served as a dissonant soundtrack.Art Yero of Fontana came to pick up his family’s favorite cookies after they had sold out the day before. His 4-year-old son, Peter, wanted to take pictures outside the park’s gates. Years ago, Yero sold popcorn in Disney California Adventure.

“It’s a little different, but it’s a new reality we’re all starting to become accustomed,” the 31-year-old Santa Ana resident said, as the theme song to the Main Street Electrical Parade clanged outside. “We’re making it work. You can still smile with your eyes.” Disney carries such weight here that Gov. Gavin Newsom originally exempted Disneyland from his order prohibiting large gatherings, sparking an outcry that ended after Disney announced it would voluntarily shut down.in time for the park’s July 17 anniversary even as coronavirus cases in California began to rise again.

Dismal Land The Tragic Kingdom

COVID-19 was ignored! Had Trump NOT been in denial for 3 months, we could've flattened the curve. We didn't. Disney reopening when Florida is the COVID epicenter is irresponsible & dumb! Should've waited until 2021 - when we'd have a vaccine! They could afford to wait!

Even during a Zombie apocalyps you guys problably will wine about not getting into Disneyland, I guess.

I might get coronavirus but dammit, my son will have gotten to see Mickey Mouse (from 6ft away) before I die. Morons.

The new reality.

Imagine possibly killing someone just because you needed to ride space mountain 🤢

Greed & stupidity.

What is wrong with these people!? 🥺😟😔

Or the Huntington Beach nuts who wanted “their” rights to infect others?

Everyone is a Disney fan. They own all the major film franchises.

Don't you guys think at least one Disney Fan will be following y'all in Twitter?

No parades or fireworks then why go to Disneyland?

We are under stay at home orders, why are people going to Disney?

but my private bike lane?!

We all know that COVID-19 is only killing the sick, the weak, the medicated, the fat people with diabetes, Killing people with medical conditions. All the people that are going to die soon anyway. So if this is you, Please Stay Home!!!

Feed the Mouse, reap the whirlwind. Gutless OC Supes.

What’s wrong with these people? Is Disney downtown an essential business? Only for very weird people I guess. Waiting in line at 1:30 am to get in? Wow. I don’t get it......

These masks are better than nothing, but that’s all they are. Don’t bet your life on one.

Pure insanity.

WHERE ELSE AM I GOING TO GET MY GOOFY SWEAT PANTS HUH TELL ME THAT

WTF is wrong with these people

Oh ya definitely worth the risk

Idiots truly
