Disney World in Orlando was closed on March 15 along with its other flagship theme parks throughout the US and the rest of the world because of COVID-19. It comes as Florida's latest tally for the deadly disease rose to more than 1,300 infected on Tuesday, including at least 17 deaths. The Magic Kingdom alone, one of four theme parks at Disney World, along with water parks and hotels, attracts more than 50,000 visitors each day.

They are the only ones who are supposed to be privileged. I will only talk about a country I know: France but I think it is the same in a lot of others Admission to most museums is chargeable and sometimes high to very high prices; except for public service teachers for whom it is free. People over 60 or 65 often pay half the price in museums, public transport,etc.. In large companies, in fact those with more than 50 employees, there is a "Works Council" which receives money from the boss and certainly from elsewhere and therefore gives employees of the company preferential rates for the cinema, sports halls, museums, etc. In fact, there are few French people who have to pay the full price when they want to go to the cinema, the museum or a bunch of paid leisure places while the tourists pay 100% the price.

RJRS1301 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 One can only hope that they remain closed and land rehabilitated back to a "natural" park. I know wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
