Who are these Disney fans that refuse to support a local park? I can’t think of a single example of anyone on this board saying they wouldn’t go to a place that wasn’t Disney.

Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

The heat they are getting on all social media platforms right now might be a cause of concern for them.

I have seen quite a few who have posted about not going to their local park in years but go to Disney every year. Normally I travel the US in the summer visiting multiple parks. Last year I did 9 different parks. I honestly wish I lived closer to more parks. Kennywood and Cedar Point are 2 of my favorites. I honestly thought people that go to Disney also liked all amusement parks.

But will this delay construction of Toronto Disneyland? (One of my favorite April Fools jokes.)

Said Captain Edward Smith! (But I don't really think Josh D'Amaro or Bob not Iger will actually go down with the ship--but the Mouse will go on!)

In all honesty while it was a good joke, it would only impress me if a high intensity coaster came with it.

Although I wouldn’t frame it in terms of “support”, you can count me as someone who has very little desire to go to any theme park that isn’t Disney. I’m talking about the pre-COVID days, of course; as things currently stand, I’m steering clear of all places of entertainment, including the Disney parks.

It's more like Disney fans tend to not go to rollercoaster parks which is what comprises the majority of local parks cause rollercoasters are cheap and quick to build than the rides at Disney (although some Disney attractions are way over budget).
If you think that's a concern, you really don't want to know the extreme lack of cleanliness and sanitation of a restaurant kitchen while food is being prepared and cooked during business hours. I've worked in the past in these locations in my younger days. If one found out, one would think twice about eating in that location again.
They’ll delay with less than a day to go if they really have to. Of course everyone involved hopes they don’t have to.
I'm sure that many things are considered along with cast members living in covid hotspots in Orlando and Kissimmee, going to work , not being tested prior to working each day with possible exposures to guests etc. The ones I know currently working are glad to be working but are very concerned. Chapek or his executives will need to step up and need facetime on the media circuit to reassure the public prior to re-opening. He will surely be earning his 50% pay cut in salary. If Iger gets out in front of the camera then he will be earning his salary or lack of it since he self imposed to take a 100% pay cut in salary.

One of the most disappointed looks I've ever seen a human make was when my wife realized it was a joke.
I have been reading their Twitter and the majority of people who are telling them they should stay shut down for the rest of the year and pay all employees while closed have probably never stepped foot into a Disney Park or have any idea on how to run a business or basic economics.
The amount of things being considered is phenomenal. Everything controllable is almost being micro managed. Of course, some things are out of their hands.
Probably. Or probably not.
I'm aware of the problems... I just try not to think about them. I remember in a pizza place seeing dough dropped on the floor and then picked back up which was minor... I also remember one guy didn't like the person he was making a pizza for so he dumped an ashtray minus the cigarette butts on the pizza before covering it with cheese... or the worst of all one guy after closing decided to take a wiz in the ice machine.
