  1. Please open because my family wants to go so bad because we never go so please let it be ?

  2. Are you all crazy? Do you not know anyone who is sick? How about your parents or children? People are dying alone because this virus is Not the flu and is more infectious than any flu we’ve ever dealt with. As a mother with a daughter in the medical field, I can’t wait for the day to hug her again and the day she can hug her kids. And as a Disney addict I too am anxious to go . But spend this time with your family and enjoy it. Disney will be here tomorrow.

    The Governor of California was asked a question today about holidays coming up such as Memorial Day and July 4th. He said although they are looking at a soft reopening of some businesses sometime maybe in May or June (and that depends on the curve of the virus. They don’t just want to see a flattening, they want to see it going down) gatherings of 100 or more is not likely to happen for fear of it spiking up again. I work for Disney and I don’t think they will be opening anytime soon. Businesses here are taking their cues from the Governor and our health organizations. He will have a better idea within two weeks. In the meantime we are at stay at home orders and social distancing like everyone else.

    Open mid may to june 1st.

    We are all tired of being under house arrest. Time to have some fun

    They should open June 1 no restrictions. That gives 6 more weeks of mitigation. If people fear going they can push their vacation back. There are no restrictions that would work. What good would standing 6 feet apart do,
    if I am getting on a ride that someone else sat, on and sweated on, breathed on, etc.

    They need to reopen with limited guests, perhaps by reservations online (similar to how they book Halloween and Xmas parties). There is no way to open the floodgates and go back up to normal capacity on day 1, week 1, or even month 1.

    Keep it closed for a while. Like to the end of August or mid September. Way to many people come and it’s people on top of people! We need to wait for a long time before it would be safe to open

    Why are grown adults having breakdowns over wdw being closed !? Come on get a grip, I love Disney as do my family .we cancelled this may holiday but it’s ok we are still all alive finding it hard under lockdown but it’s not forever. Life is short enough without taking or wanting to take stupid risks with your life so just chill and wait patiently like the rest of the world

    I believe they should open to vacation club members who have/had reservations while this quarantine was in effect.

    The sad reality is that guests from all over the world will be coming into the parks and there is very little Disney can do to mitigate the virus from spreading. Generally, hygiene is the best defense. Hopefully through this “stay at home”, “social distancing” timeframe, lessons have been learned and the “new norm” will be and should always have been personal hygiene and cleanliness. Over the years I have watched with a level of horror the total disregard the general population has for their well-being. I have also observed over the years that Disney has let their guard down concerning social changes, dress code, and poor conversational skills of some Cast members. The hiring process needs to be more stringent. Given the minimum wage increases, Disney can and should be more selective. Lastly, Disney-Guest experience should also not be compromised by allowing erratic social behaviors to be displayed on the property. Way too many confrontational incidences occurring that seems to be tolerated. I know this was a little off-topic however, the conversation needs to be out there and concerns addressed.

    How about we just cordon off the poorly run metro areas of the country and then let the rest of us get back to business. The people that live in those areas gave up their freedoms without a 2nd thought they should live with their choice of gov’t. I choose not to blindly accept what’s being told to us about the risks and want to question the information. That said, if the data doesn’t back up the reason everyone is scared to death, then they should gradually open…and soon.

    It should be open now without restrictions. Life is NOT about waiting for the storm to end.. It’s learning to dance in the rain. Besides the numbers don’t add up for the amount of paranoia. 1/10000 chance of catching. Then 1 in 1000 chance of dying. Better chance of hitting the lottery.

    Reopen now. The only thing that makes this virus different that all the other thousands of viruses floating around everyday is that we are wearing masks for some reason. This virus is like all the others, meaning It’s here forever, we are all going to catch it at some point. Not a big deal.

      That’s right. Good comment and I feel the same way.

  15. Jane Orbon

    Not until it’s safe. The worse thing to happen would be to open too soon and start this virus all over again and then have to close again. People trust the Disney name. When you open we will believe it’s safe so please be sure.
    And I loved the chalk pictures.

    I think the Parks should open ASAP with smaller crowds, gradually increasing until back to full capacity. I personally believe there is a lot of unnecessary fear about the virus that stems from a combination of bad scientific models and media hype. “Not until it’s safe” is far too vague and will only result in continued pain and suffering for everyone. The only way to move forward is to re-open in steps, and I believe that when we see that the dangers have been overblown, the rest of you will come out from under your beds. Besides, going to Disneyland with smaller crowds could be a blessing for the attendees.

    Well this selfish I know but they should in my opinion start a soft opening with yearly pass holders and residents of Florida. We love the tourists , and our friends and family from out of state but, your turn will come, for now, give us a break. We opened our beaches and now they are so crowded we can’t enjoy them. I say enjoy your own state, own parks. When it’s business as usual come back and we will welcome you. Soft date Sept 5th. Out of state folks Nov 1, 2020

    Open now please. It’s been long enough. People are going to get sick no matter what, no matter what they get. You can’t control the flu or colds, so reopen. You can’t stay home forever, and people need to be happy and do things to keep going in life. Taking things away make people depressed and think of those that already are depressed and go to the happiest place on earth. So for me, they should have already reopened.
