'People are more important than making a profit.'
," Katie Belisle, an attractions hostess at Disney, argues that the state is"backtracking from where we originally were."
"With the recent spikes in COVID-19 cases in Florida, the plan to re-open theme parks should be re-evaluated," Katie wrote."The state's proposed plan for re-opening theme parks would start at Phase 2, 'after the successful conclusion of Phase 1, which includes a downward trajectory . . . this will occur when there is no evidence of a rebound or resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
The petition, which is addressed to Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and has over 7,500 signatures at press time, is hoping for 8,000 total signatures. In it, Katie argues that keeping theme park employees and guests safe should be the number one priority of the staff in any theme park.
"While theme parks are a great way to relax and enjoy free time, it is a non-essential business. . . . People are more important than making a profit.""This virus is not gone, unfortunately it's only become worse in this state," she wrote."Having our theme parks remain closed until cases are steadily decreasing would keep our guests, our employees and their families safe.
