Disneyworld has operated at reduced capacity for 3 months now. No cases of COVID among staff, and nothing reported as a spread event from guests.

I was just there last week for 3 days. A lot of people, mostly keeping our distance, wearing masks. The lines are well-marked for 6-foot distancing, but with walking back and forth, and being inside buildings, you are getting exposed, if you happen to get unlucky and be near the one person in 2000 that might currently have COVID.

Virginia, our governor destroyed our theme parks as well, even though mostly we’ve been opened up. Problem — he limited theme parks to 1000 guests.

Our Busch Gardens park got creative. They didn’t open, instead they held “private events”, 2 a day, each 1000 people, opened a small part of their park. Did enough to make money, keep the passholders happy. They even did a halloween event set.

Meanwhile, private companies ran halloween mazes, and nobody had a problem with them. A lot of the guys I worked with at Kings Dominion ended up working at one local haunt attraction, which definitely upped THEIR game as a result (you do this stuff for 10 years, you get good at it).

Other states opened up parks, and have had no problems. Dollywood is operating without incident, Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio, Dorney Park in Pennsylvania — all without any real issues.

Newsom is being obstinate. I think Knott’s berry farm opened their park JUST for their restaurants, and that kept a few people employed.

It should read as: Then the pandemic hits, a virus that communist China Released To Infect The World

The massive ATX West Tech show scheduled for the Anaheim Convention Center in February of 2021 was just postponed.

This trade show brought 1000’s of exhibitors and attendees to Anaheim - every hotel room in the Anaheim area was booked solid. The restaurants were packed.

How does Kammy Harris’ ex-boyfriend expect to make up this lost revenue?

They limited passholders (and also, passholders are a major source of revenue, so when you open your park you can charge your passholders, if you don’t, you have to refund them or give them a free year next year, like Cedar Point is doing).

I imagine Disney is making money in florida. They finally furloughed most of their california staff.

I really wonder at this point if democrats aren’t trying to just finish destroying the economy, making everyone dependent upon government in the process, so that they can rule over the crushed populace just like the pigs in Animal Farm.

There’s a huge disconnect though. ABC News is actively involved in a criminal conspiracy to promote voter suppression of Trump supporters between fake news and fake polls. Trump is the one saying open the hell up. So the CEO of Disney Mr. Bob Chapek needs to get control of this tiny ABC “News” division that is dragging the whole company down.

One of my very conservative DNA/younger relatives and I discussed this issue this week.

As conservatives, we are confused that our uber liberal Governor Gruesome is doing this to Disney, an uber liberal company.

If the Disney CEO called ABC and said do this, you really think they would refuse?

I just got and email from a long time China watcher. He feels that Disney World in California has been a Republic of China spy haven for decades. This tiff with Gruesome is just a cover up until they can get their spies out of here, in case Trump wins.

How many Disney dollars have been provided to liberals up and down California?

It’s gotta be a crap-load.

Now Dems are showing House of Mouse who’s boss, and it ain’t Jimminy Cricket!

California is full TDS until election day.

Lock em down, lock em up, shut it all down, until they steal the election.

Glad to hear. Know that situation intimately. They should have fully left years ago.

All I can say is that if they indeed go through with their threat, they’d better make sure to leave their liberal views behind. What’s the point of leaving California if they won’t even leave the very policies that resulted in that mess behind.
