Bob iger isnt in charge the governors are he has no say in what happens he has to abide by the law and fl will be way different then cali recommendations! Bc hollywerid wants to wait for a vaccine in their bubble while the rest of us will be living!
Btw this sounds like the good ol we will be all about safety but we want to make money too bc lets face it we are a major corp so we wont be much more than we already done and why should they?! You want to go you go you do not then stay home no one is forcing you to go to disney! This fevered dream will end soon and normal will be back just like it always did slow and steady!
I don`t know anything about the vaccine but I do know that China has NOT gotten over it. If you believe that Chinese communist propaganda then that is your choice.
When it comes to this virus I don’t believe any numbers that the CCP provides, period. Why do you think over there they call it the “CCP Virus”? They’re placing the blame on the government (not the Chinese people).
China hasnt but we sure have you know the survival numbers are almost at 500k! And the death rates are lower then they could be they predicted millions! And and cdc etc say ebola swine flu and regular flu within these past yrs recorded much higher #s! You know total # of cases that was deaths of just regular flu within past yrs in total! And we dont panic about that theres been worse stuff that killed people and still does today heart attacks are still the #1 cause of death and that happens! Common colds happen all day long and if worse become bronchitis or pneumonia NO Vaccine for that no panic but guess what my parents still died! Life and death go together we get sick all the time! If this was put together in lab as its been confirmed its a waste to wait on a vaccine nothing horrible before it like ebola zika etc ever got vaccines we just got over and moved on this will be the same wait and see!
I’m glad the task force is taking this seriously and I do feel comfortable with Bob Iger being the chairman. The more planned out, the better. Do I miss Disneyland? ABSOLUTELY! Do I want it to re open now? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I think measures need to be put in place, like Mr. Iger said, that make people feel comfortable about going back to the park.
A person like Bob iger who is manageing the worlds number 1 entertainment company very well for a long time he must deserve it and can take part to help the govt for better policy and opinion.
If anyone in Cali wants to wait for a vaccine they will have to wait 18 to 24 months. Disneyland may be closed but Newsome has no control of Disneyworld.
As far as visiting either park for a time Florida residents and California residents should be the only ones to visit their parks. And you go or not it’s a choice you have to make yourself.
Then they need to be more willing to refund tickets people have purchased. They don’t want to refund because they’ll lose money, so they need to find a way to open. Still about money.
I think Bob Iger is an essential part of the task force too begin re-opening businesses in Florida. It must be done correctly with a good plan in place!
You’re just one of a few ppl on this thread that makes any sense. So, thank you very much.Bob Iger will do what’s BEST for EVERYONE. Yes, he has an obligation to DISNEY, but he will again do what’s best within his powers to help everyone. Iger is on a team of ppl , he cannot do this alone. This man was ASKED to join the Task Force. He didn’t volunteer his service, so obviously there are ppl who believe that he can do just that. Thank u for keeping it positive and voicing ur truthful opinion! As to the FOOL who call Hollywood, Hollyweird I take it you’re pretty much a bitter person who has NO CLUE about anything. Keep Listening to ur leader and I quote, “this is going to all disappear-poof”! Bob Iger THANK YOU for stepping back into the role to help the economy.
Ah, nope. I have known many who worked under Iger and it always came down to the almighty dollar. The parks and Disney stopped being family oriented under Michael Eisner and each one after that has done all he can to ensure they have a major golden parachute – even at expense of its workers. I will only listen if these grandiose ideas of theirs are based in reality not want and ensures the safety of everyone visiting AND the health and safety of each and every employee.
As an Annual Passholders in Florida we have spend our time Quarantined and are more than ready to get back to Disney world. We already have reservations and are ready to follow all the guidelines the Parks require. Need a Happy zolace more than ever!
I have been quarantined the last 6 weeks and am ready for some Disney magic in my life. I will follow the guidance that they set forth to be free. I am excited that for a while I g will not be as busy as no foreign travelers will be there for a little while
I do not trust DeSantis. No way I’m bringing a 9 year old there and spending thousands in a state whose Governor trusts the White House. No way. We’ll be back when mass testing is available and not a second before. Shame.
Until Disney reopens it’s parks, I will NOT feel things are back to normal. Disney is not all about making money. Disney is always safety first. It takes every cast member both on and back stage to make the “happy”. Disney is the benchmark.
Disney is loosing millions per day not to mention the staff of thousands that currently have no jobs. You don’t simply open the gates of Disneyland and say come one come all. This Pandemic has changed life as we know for many many years to come. I am not betting we will ever see what we once had as normal again. The dream is not dead but the light at the end of the tunnel is very very dim.
Bob Iger, nor any governor, have any idea what shutting down the country has done much less what to do to bring it back from the brink of total bankruptcy. Businesses will take many many years to return to what will be the new normal and many will not survive! Will life be the same? Not likely! Can all this be fixed? No! Our nation has changed. Will it be for the better? No one knows. One thing is for sure it is a long road ahead….
Blah blah, nonsense. Total bankruptcy? What world are you living in? Quit with the skyfalling doom and gloom. Look around you, the sky hasn’t fallen. Our GDP took a massive hit, but America will survive this. And Our Enemies Across the Water best watch their back…
Bob is a good voice to have on the task force, just as much as other industries will have their voices heard as well. Multiple viewpoints is always good to come up with a plan that is well balanced and sound.
I believe Bob Iger is an excellent choice since he has run a business successfully unlike Gavin Newsom who has only been a politician. Its wise to get business people involved- but to reopen correctly as Iger pointed out we need more testing, tracing it, and isolating wisely rather than shut everything down indiscrimenately. That will us to reopen places like the Disneyland Resort wisely- doing temperature checks at entrances, doing quick health checks ( maybe health cards like China), mandatory higher levels of sanitation and hand washing, wearing masks, and smaller crowds to allow for social distancing. Similar principles would allow restaurants to reopen, theaters, sporting events, excursions including cruises and other businesses but more modestly than before until a vaccine is discovered .and administeted
Have people sign a waiver on the way into Disney, that way if they get sick; they can’t sue. Give people the choice & assume the risk & responsibility. Other people can choose to stay away from the park; if they want to social distance. Land of the free. * I moved here from England 20 years ago.
I’m going to say this is a Must have and if it’s not put into place than no one/ and I mean no one from all cast members to guest if N95-N99 masks are not enforced to be used by all Cast Members on stage in front of gust etc than cast members do not work for their own safety as well as safety of guest.
And I know for a fact that Disney is all about Safety and if that’s true than All as stated before Cast Members while at work MUST wear a mask! All Guest must wear masks too or not be allowed into the parks!!
Suffer thousands of lawsuits because of not following safety rules.
Besides you know how hot it gets in the summer temps arent going to be accurate! Masks are going to not last either due to heat and miscommunication trying talking to someone not your family whom gets you in them you will understand! Besides they arent protecting anything and you can still get sick w them i didnt get corona but i got a cold for sure… which btw wouldn’t show a temp! Some people like my son have daily ailments that might be na one day but worse the next like allergies and thats nothing to stay home for! Besides he also has his norm temp level is a low grade fever how do you account for all that no dr in there right mind is going to give you a note to say ignore it. We go on vacation to get away from normal and enjoy life besides its like turning lights back on theme parks arent #1 schools and important businesses are plus no social distancing has to happen before all this too by the time all this happens this be a mute pt!
I believe that Bob Iger is quite capable of making decisions to keep people safe. I believe that Disney should also be opened in phases. Start with the parks opening to only Florida residents and California residents. If all goes well in a designated time span, expand who can visit like maybe dvc, then pass holders, etc. Safe precautions will need implemented by putting temperature scanners at gate, X markers for 6 feet apart, not allowing people with visible illness in, and limiting the number of daily guests. It will be a change for quite a while, but do think that phased opening could work.
He Has run the Disney organization for many years and has dealt with many health related and financial issues Most people have no clue about I feel his knowledge in business and in running a large organization could be nothing but positive in making intelligent well thought out plans for the state of California to move forward
But hes not the goverment and has no true say as to when things open and close he can say that for disney parks but still doesnt get to play God he only thinks he can and has gotten in trouble for it and many true fans hate him right up there w queen meg and the rest!
Better idea all of you whom are crazy enough to think we wont get over this like ebola or zika or others before that should have been pandemics and weren’t is getting a vaccine instead of us all getting over it is kidding yourself! How about when the rest of us go back to normal and continue to live our lives way beyond this you can just STAY HOME IN YOUR UNHEALTHY PARANOIA! Right now is a time to sit and wait one min at a time but that doesnt mean we stop living bc then why are we alive!?
Lets stay calm and figure things out bc guess what i am a nurse and i seen the panic and paranoia affect people psyche in all this more than the virus itself! Just take care and have hope!
I feel having Bob Iger onboard is a good choice. With a group that is varied, they bring many things to the table. With Disney mindset of safety first, it reinforces what we need. They will figure something out. It’s not an easy task and it’s one that will have to be carefully engineered
Disney universal all the same big buiness wants your money once aloud buiness as always you do not like it do not go! Thats not up to iger or uni to make up that mind for you! You have a brain use it! DONE!

I believe Bob Iger is an excellent choice since he has run a business successfully unlike Gavin Newsom who has only been a politician. Its wise to get business people involved- but to reopen correctly as Iger pointed out we need more testing, tracing it, and isolating wisely rather than shut everything down indiscrimenately. That will us to reopen places like the Disneyland Resort wisely- doing temperature checks at entrances, doing quick health checks ( maybe health cards like China), mandatory higher levels of sanitation and hand washing, wearing masks, and smaller crowds to allow for social distancing.

The stage shows will be the last thing to come back in as they require mass gatherings that are not able to happen till the last phase of reopening

Actually they are second to return at least the performers are for rehearsals! First is matinence!

Temperature checks are not an accurate indicator of Covid. Florida heat and humidity can raise a persons core body temperature.
