Disney lovers had been eagerly waiting for Disneyland, California and Walt Disney World, Florida to reopen. However, according to latest reports, fans will have to wait a little longer as Disney announced that they would be postponing the reopening of Disneyland. 

This decision was made after it was revealed that the Florida government would be setting new guidelines about the reopening of such places. With this decision coming only after July 4, the decision of postponing the reopening date was revealed. "Given the time required for us to bring thousands of cast members back to work and restart our business, we have no choice but to delay the reopening of our theme parks and resort hotels until we receive approval from government officials," they said in a statement, as reported by CNN. 

"Once we have a clearer understanding of when guidelines will be released, we expect to be able to communicate a reopening date," the statement concluded. Many people had been looking forward to the reopening while others thought it was a good move given that the number of cases had been increasing rapidly. While there has been no update on when can one expect Disneyland to open, there is no doubt that strict safety measures would be put in place to ensure there is no spread of Covid-19. Meanwhile, people have been scratching heads and wondering if the reopening dates for Walt Disney World will also be pushed. 

Walt Disney World is set to reopen on July 11 but people are hoping that would be changed as well. People have also been signing a petition to make sure the theme park does not open. "I live in California and I love our governor. But everyone just keeps criticizing him. I won't be surprised if we go back on lockdown. They just postponed the opening of Disneyland. I wonder if Walt Disney world will get postponed," wrote one user. 

"While I do want to return to the parks I think Disneyland is doing the right thing in delaying opening and Walt Disney World should do the same. Other parks should also think about reclosing," read another comment. "Not for Disneyland, he can't. That's California. I have wondered why Walt Disney World is opening given their numbers are bad as well," wrote another.
