Will Disney World Open in July?
The first of Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) theme park resorts to reopen was back in business on Monday morning. Shanghai Disneyland's reawakening was a success despite the initial restrictions. Visitor counts are initially being limited to just 24,000 guests of the park's 80,000-person capacity, and Disney expects to offer even fewer admissions than that through the first couple of weeks.
Guests and park employees wear marks, submit to temperature checks on the way in, and abide by new social-distancing measures. Some of the experiences like character greeting stations, fireworks, parades, and interactive play areas are currently on hold. However, it's encouraging to see at least one of Disney's parks back in action. It's now just a matter of time before Disney World and Disneyland -- as well as overseas resorts in France, Japan, and Hong Kong -- follow the lead of Shanghai Disneyland.
