Walt Disney World Resort will partially reopen this weekend even as the number of coronavirus cases in Florida continues to rise
closing a number of businesses such as gyms, short-term vacation rentals and restaurant dining rooms due to the virus surge.
Still, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday defended Disney World reopening, saying he had no concerns as the company put a "premium" on safety and pointed to Universal Orlando, which fully reopened last month with enhanced health and safety measures. “Disney, I have no doubt is going to be a safe environment," he said. "I think that where you start to see the spread is just in social situations where people let their guard down. Usually like a private party or something like that.
In addition to the theme park portions reopening, Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a massive campus on the Disney property near Orlando, will host the NBA and MLS to conclude their 2019 seasons beginning later this month. While the Florida theme park plan did not hit a snag, the same could not be said for the Southern California destination. Last month, Disneyits plan to reopen Disneyland on July 17 followed by the three resort hotels by the end of the month. However, the spike in coronavirus cases derailed that plan, with Disney explaining the state would not be able to offer and then approve official guidelines in time for the planned reopening date.
