Lmao between this & the cruise ship goons throwing a temper tantrum I am fucking loving these tax evading capitalist pigs eating nothing but pure shit while having absolutely no dignity.

Mickey needs to shut his ass mouth up.
It is weird that this video feels more like how mickey would act due to disney after covid hit:

Didn't the Florida park open?
By the looks of the videos from customers on YouTube , it didn't seem like a issue, people were wearing masks and social distancing was implemented but still I know...
how are the numbers in Florida in terms of infections? Almost don't hear anything from about that place nowadays

I could understand if Disneyland was some regional park that doesn't attract people from all over the world, let alone the country, but... it's not. Walt Disney World shouldn't be open yet either, but DeSantis.
I actually went to Magic Kingdom today. It felt extremely safe, and everyone was following the pretty strict rules, other than a couple of dopes wearing their masks wrong. But everyone respected distancing, they had hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE, and the queues were clearly marked with Stand Here lines - even the quick service food and drink. It was kinda crazy how smooth it operated
About a third of what they were at their peak, but still pushing between 2-3k every day.
As much as I think now certainly is not the time for this kind of consideration (round two around the corner and all the "cooler" states will head there for warmth), I have to say we (the world) will have to start settling into the new normal. All of those things Disney wants to do should be the name of the game for the next five years, at least (maybe not the masks, we'll see how the vaccines take and work).
Edit: To be clear - they should NOT be trying to open now at all. It's a dumb and dangerous idea.

I mean to be fair, we have the biggest population by far in the US.
According to Worldometer, Florida had the most deaths of any state yesterday at 202.
It's time, there are much more dangerous and equally unnecessary things open in California, and the weird pent-up demand from APs is making Downtown Disney weirdly crowded, which makes it likely that opening the parks, where Disney can do a lot more to control numbers and whatnot might be safer now than keeping them closed.
Orange County (FL) has said there has been no significant correlation between any of the theme parks and coronavirus infection events.
Article's a month old now, but no cases had been linked to WDW during the initial 6 weeks of reopening
No COVID-19 Outbreaks Linked to Walt Disney World, Cases in Area on the Decline
The head doctor for the Orange County Health Department reports no COVID-19 outbreaks have been tied to Walt Disney World

It seems Disney World is handling this well; I was personally expecting far more dire results. This is of course assuming the numbers are accurate, which it being Florida, who knows
It should be noted Disneyland is essentially a separately run company, so it remains to be seen whether they would be as diligent, and whether those actions would have the same impact on what's more of a local's market

Well Florida was pretty notorious for their fuckery with the numbers first of all.
There are multiple reports of a lack of contact tracing in Florida.
There's also the Daily Beast report that Disney was hiding people who tested positive for covid unless they were union employees.
So...
The company that wants you to risk your life to give them money. I am surprised they are OK with Marvel delaying movie releases if they're begging officials to help open parks.
Nah they are hiding all that. Multiple infections have been reported from Mousechat and other smaller forums focused only on theme parks.
disneyland will face some challenges WDW dosent have, which mostly stems from space... the park layout/walkways/dining/shopping in florida are much larger with traffic divided among a collection of resorts or shopping districts. for the disneyland resort to work as well your going to need tighter controls over crowd limits, how traffic flows in the park and how shopping/dining options are situated.
That report was about downtown Disney in California, Disney World is a separate company from Disneyland
From the same company that's hiding positive COVID results on the set of Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Not surprised.
Not surprised.
It's worth noting that Disneyland is tiny compared to Disney World. Social distancing would be more difficult.
It does seems like things have gone reasonably well at Disney World, but I don't see California signing on for this.
They are? Do you have a source for this?
