Disney World employees are urging Disney to halt reopening the beloved amusement parks due to the surge of Coronavirus cases. An employee by the name of Katie Belisle created a petition with the goal of pushing back the reopening of date which was currently set to begin July 11.
“This virus is not gone, unfortunately, it’s only become worse in this state. Having our theme parks remain closed until cases are steadily decreasing would keep our guests, our employees, and their families safe. Re-opening the theme parks is only putting our guests, employees, and families at higher risk for contracting COVID-19”, the petition states.

Before closing in March due to the virus, the park was previously closed due to the 2001 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
