Abigail Disney Says She Is "Confused" By Disney Decision To Reopen Theme Parks

Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Walt Disney Co. co-founder Roy Disney, criticized the company’s decision to reopen its theme parks.

“I’m confused about how they think they can possibly protect their guests and their employees,” the Disney heiress said during an appearance Thursday on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “I certainly know people who work there who are very uncomfortable, who have conditions like asthma and diabetes that put you at high risk, who are literally deciding whether they want to go back to work or buy food.”

Disney reopened Disney World last weekend and has maintained it has taken proper precautions even as Florida officials grapple with soaring rates of COVID-19 infection.

Host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Abigail Disney if she had conveyed her concerns to the company.

“The lines of communication are not robust,” she said. In recent years, Abigail Disney has taken aim at former CEO Bob Iger and other execs over their compensation and other issues, most recently ripping executives’ moves in April in a series of pointed tweets.

1. If major death and illness is traced to Disney Theme Parks, it will damage their brand.

Short term gain but long term pain.

Our corporate partners seem unable to grasp the whole Goose with the Golden Eggs thing.

2. We own a timeshare at Disney's Aulani Resort, which is still shut down.

I’m in a few Disney oriented FB groups, and it is disconcerting to read comments by so many adults who are bitching that they can't get their Disney fix as the parks are closed. As if riding the Dumbo ride is more important than not catching the virus. It’s ridiculous.
