The Disney theme park, which employs some 70,000 people, plans to begin a phased reopening on July 11 for its Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom parks and July 15 for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, the company said on Wednesday. Walt Disney World as well as Disney's Disneyland resort in Anaheim, California, closed in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The segment's operating profit fell 58% compared with last year — shedding a billion dollars in profit just a few weeks into the global shutdown."The theme parks define Disney for millions of its fans around the world," Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com, told CNN Business."Returning its parks to operation signals that Disney is coming back to full speed as a company again.

No not good
I wouldn’t feel safe in Disney until a vaccine for Covid-19 would be available. I don’t want Disney starts charging Annual passes again.
Taking the mickey
When you wish upon a cough Mask won’t matter, on or off Anything Florida desires will come to (flatline) ————————————
Lesse.... They won't be hiring back their full staff, & they're going to rush through safety maintenance, prices on drinks & food & souvenirs will double or quadruple to make up for lost spring profits....
“Magic kingdom parks”
Rona can’t wait to have a splash on Splash Mountain!
How?
What is happening to our country? Kids can’t attend school, play organized sports, have a graduation,millions out of work, but hey, let’s go to Disney😍. This just makes me sad for our children and our future.
Hard pass. I’m not a big Disney kind of guy but given there’s a mess of a virus, if I were going to roll the dice I would roll em on something else. Big crowd events are going to have to be in my wheelhouse and convince me it’s all good or I’m not even going to consider it.
I’m sure those who have been going to the beach for a getaway will be happy about this news.
Taniaangel_tv vamos?
Pass
That’s awesome because I love stupid fucking bullshit so this is actually pretty great for me
Florida.
Yes, and will be forced to closed back down again in mid August due to a spike in coronavirus cases....next!
All magas. Please go. Your country needs your sacrifice
irresponsible to not begin by only allow like Locals/Florida residents. basically inviting the Noth East down here to respread covid 🙈
Why is CNN not covering historic American launch. Losers!
As a Floridian, prepare to pass out from walking around in a mask, or getting sick from people walking around without a mask (people will just walk around with a drink in hand to avoid wearing a mask).
Can we just have patience and think about the big picture people.
Over priced Over hyped Over crowded ... Over it
🤦🏾♂️
I would love to be a Cast Member at the parks during this time. I can already see guests causing a scene.
That's unfortunate. GL Florida
I was kind of hoping they'd stay closed forever, if only so that abandonedameric could photograph them in 20 years.
It’s not “Magic Kingdom Parks”, it’s Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Best. News. EVER!
Not worth the risk... I’ve got my Fast “Pass on the shit” purchased....
Guess it’s good, just hope all that’s starting to slowly reopen isn’t to soon, another recurrence & where all in trouble 🤞🤞
This is great to hear! Nothing like a little Disney Magic to boost morale
Temp checks on people’s forehead while standing in the July Florida heat some yield some fun results.
Disneyparks got outplayed by Universal and SeaWorld
Lines are going to be longer at amusement parks due to cleaning the roller coasters (bittersweet)
Only in Florida!
this is great news!! on average 20 million people visit the Magic Kingdom every year, may drop to half this year but will give the US a chance to measure whether the herd mentality to COVID-19 is valid in reducing the length of the pandemic, infect lots and let it run its course
Good.
Followed by closure date in August
Do you really want to support DW?
Surely there has come to you a light from Allah and a clear Book

Yet another reason lol
So glad I decided to hold my Disney stock
Wahooooo. Can’t wait to go
What’s gonna happen when you ask adults and children to wear masks in 100 degree weather with 100% humidity? Hope Disney is stocked up on AED machines.
Nope. I’ll wait till next year
And CNN will do everything they can to fear monger people not to go
Umm no
Stupid.
It seems we will have to continue while fighting through the pandemic but with a good strategy
nope
What are they going to do with the bodies Desantis is hiding there?
