Care-free days at theme parks giving way to virus safeguards

Read full article: Care-free days at theme parks giving way to virus safeguards

Disneys nearby parks will wait until next month, but there won't be any parades, firework shows or character greetings. Theme parks in many states have been among the last businesses allowed to reopen because of worries over crowds. We have to look at each and every situation.At most theme parks, the new normal will be apparent before visitors arrive, starting with online admission reservations to manage the daily crowds. Cedar Fair Entertainment, which operates theme parks across North America including Ohio's Cedar Point, will require guests to fill out health screenings before they show up and to go through temperature checks at the gate. While some parks will rely on state guidelines to determine whether their guests should wear masks, most of the big theme parks will require them, even on the rides.

Minnie Mouse gave the man a hug and he groped her chest three times, according to the sheriff’s incident report. “As a result, he was trespassed from all of Walt Disney World property, to exclude the Saratoga Springs resort,” the sheriff’s report said.

Read full article: Disney’s iconic Mickey Mouse turns 91

He might not look it, but Mickey Mouse is getting a little bit long in the tooth. The iconic mouse and face of the Walt Disney Company turned 91 on Monday, which comes almost a century after the premiere of Steamboat Willie, the animated short film that made him a star. As TIME reports, the company didn’t waste any time capitalizing on Mickey’s stardom with merchandise and branding that turned the mouse into a cash cow despite his diminutive frame. Fast-forward to present day and it’s hard to imagine a world without the mouse’s outsize influence. Just watch one of your favorite Mickey movies, which are even easier to find now thanks to Disney+.

"Unable to connect to Disney+," one error page, which showed Wreck-It Ralph holding a WiFi signal, read. "There seems to be an issue connecting to the Disney+ service." The rough start for Disney+ is bit embarrassing for the company considering the attention around the service's launch.

That includes a new Star Wars series, "The Mandalorian," Disney Animation, Marvel films such as "Avengers: Endgame," documentaries from National Geographic and 30 seasons of "The Simpsons."

And it's planning a new store near the entrance of the Walt Disney World Resort in 2021. Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said there's a 90% overlap between Disney and Target customers.
