Will Disney World Really Open This Month?
The countdown clock is now in the single digits for the phased reopening of Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) flagship resort in Florida. Disney World is set to open half of its theme parks on July 11. The other two gated attractions will follow on July 15. Guest previews for select pass holders will start July 9, so we're now just a week away from showtime for the world's most visited theme park resort.
If it seems as if folks are skeptical about Disney World actually opening next week it's because some on social media and even a few talking heads on TV are questioning the decision. With COVID-19 cases spiking in the Sunshine State, is the media giant really going to go through with its reopening plans? If it has recently pushed out the resumption of Disneyland in California and the premiere of Mulan at a multiplex near you, isn't Disney World's restart the next event to get scratched off the calendar? Anything can happen between now and next Wednesday, but the smart money has to be on Disney World sticking to its current plan.
