While the park is beginning it’s planned, phased reopening, many fans have mixed feelings – some are excited the parks are opening back up, and others are concerned with Florida’s Coronavirus numbers.

The state is being considered as a new epicenter for the pandemic, joining Arizona and Texas as some of the states with the highest numbers of cases.

Disneyland in California had planned to begin their phased reopening next week, on July 17th, but their plans are currently on hold as the government has yet to sign off on their reopening.
