Don't Expect Disney World and Disneyland to Open Next Week

If we go by the timeline that Disney (NYSE: DIS) originally spelled out for its domestic theme parks, Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida could reopen as early as next week. The media giant closed its gated attractions last week -- through the end of March -- but no one expects things to return to business as usual come April 1.

That Disney's two domestic bookends are heading into a prolonged outage is still a fresh notion. Disneyland and Disney World have never had an interruption that lasted more than a day or two. There are still people out there who naively think Disney turnstiles will magically unlock themselves at the end of this month, only because Disney hasn't officially announced an extension to the closures. Sorry, folks. Parks are closed. The mouse out front should've told you.
