Starting this thread so as to not hijack the “Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread” with debates about whether the park should or shouldn’t reopen now.
Do you think Disneyland should reopen now? Why?
Here are some arguments I’ve heard on either side:
YES, Disneyland should reopen now:
- It makes no sense and is not fair to the theme park sector for Disneyland to be closed when zoos, museums, restaurants, and other tourist draws are open throughout California.
- Disney has shown they can operate their theme parks safely in other places.
- The economic impacts of continued closure are devastating to Anaheim and surrounding areas.
NO, Disneyland should not reopen now:
- It is unsafe to reopen a theme park with the novel Coronavirus still circulating via community spread.
- We should prioritize reopening other, more essential sectors, like schools.
- Unlike the Florida parks, Disneyland draws many more local visitors, so the state has a greater interest in keeping them from becoming a source of virus transmission.
