The state has recently experienced record-breaking numbers of new cases per day, inspiring Disney World employees to start a petition asking to delay the reopening

as of Monday morning. The employee urged Disney and government officials to delay the park's reopening amid the rise in cases saying it wasn't worth the risk for parkgoers and castmembers.

"This virus is not gone, unfortunately, it’s only become worse in this state," the MoveOn.org petition states. "Having our theme parks remain closed until cases are steadily decreasing would keep our guests, our employees and their families safe. Re-opening the theme parks is only putting our guests, employees, and families at higher risk for contracting COVID-19."

It continues: "As individuals who work in the bustling tourism industry in central Florida, we are responsible for ensuring the safety of our guests and our fellow magic makers.... We are encouraged to say something when we see something that we deem is unsafe so we’re speaking up."RELATED VIDEO: Disney World Announces Reopening Date After Months-Long Coronavirus Closure

AnnaForFlorida Cast members should not be put in this position. It’s terrifying. 🙁

Well that’s goofy...

Then don’t let the idiots come back home to the states they are from, keep their ass in Florida

Dumb as hell decision!!!!!

That effects the entire country... thanks a lot!

Good. Let's get this show on the road. getshitmoving

The govt is seriously trying to kill us. That said, anybody who would dare go to Disney or anyplace like it is very foolish.

I hope employees and patrons boycott! Can't open if no staff or patrons.

Ridiculous! No wonder Flori-DUH

He’s an idiot and a one term Governor just like his buddy Donny will be a one term president . They both deserve each other

That’s madness!!

So dumb!!

YES‼️. Cull the herd

INSANITY!!!!!

Greedy politicians!

Child clusters coming soon.

It’s sad that cast members have to go to work during this. Why do we have so many fking entitled f*ucks in this country? Shame on you RonDeSantisFL WaltDisneyWorld.

Alexa, play “American Idiot”

Anyone going is not welcome back in NY as far as I’m concerned. Reckless!

Fool

Someone test that governor’s IQ, please.

But why wouldn’t Disney do the right thing and hold off? THAT is really the question of the day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Stupidity abounds

🤬

Who in their right mind would go to Disney world with the virus at extreme levels. Anyone who wants this contagious disease go have fun!! Impossible to do social distancing there!!

Wow way to protect your state not surprising considering there isn’t even a mask mandate 😷😷😷

Human life means nothing to this guy.

Florida’s governor is an absolute idiot

Be calm

WTH

Money life. Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

Priorities, put them in order though it's fun, governor should focus on the safety of putting people's lives first since we're in the middle of a pandemic.

Put some blame on the idiotic people who go. personalresponsibility

Wow. GovRonDeSantis is a dick.

How negligent do you have to be to take your child/children to Disney World during a pandemic?

If people are stupid enough to go to Disney world despite the surge of Covid good for them

Soon the cleansing waters will just wash it all away.

this seems fine

Disney should be the one stopping the reopening, like they are in CA

Politics over life. How sad.
