A similar petitionto delay reopening California's Disneyland garnered more than 55,000 signatures before Disney announced it would need to push back the date.for allegedly retaliating against cast members after the association demanded that performers be tested for COVID-19.
"If Disney's ready to open and they feel like that's what they need to do business-wise, let's face it, their income is coming from their theme park revenue and they're losing billions of dollars so they feel that they can open safely," Evans said."If they're opening their park, they need people to visit the park and we're just one of those people."
