Over 10,000 people have signed a petition asking Disney to delay the July reopening of Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. “Many people have lost loved ones due to this pandemic and by reopening the parks they are endangering cast members and guests.'
Disneyland DIS, -7.80% is aiming to reopen next month. But thousands of people are asking the company to reconsider when people can resume visiting.
