Disney World And Disneyland Close Florida, California, and Paris Parks Through March

Published Date: Thursday, March 12, 2020

No words here really, except to add to the news roundup that Disney World/Land also have closed. At first blush, it’s all shocking. But then again, at least it’s not a silo effect. We’re all in this together, worldwide. Personally, in this blogger’s inbox, cancellation and closure notices for film/TV productions (employment) have been reported for a few weeks in the entertainment industry. This blogger’s personal brain break happened on Wednesday (yesterday). But I am in full prep mode now, and ready to roll with however this is working out.

Here is one way to look at this: It’s safe to say every industry is experiencing this financially. That part, in addition to health, of course, is scary. But, if every industry is experiencing this and shutting down, we have a lot of big players who have a lot at stake. Our small businesses on Main Street have a lot at stake. And so do Disney. The NBA. AMC (as movie houses shut and movie releases get postponed). Pretty much every trade show (Architectural Digest’s AD Design Show, postponed to June). Beacon local, and mega-worldwide design celebrity Niche Modern was going to display there, but maybe they’ll instead participate in the June event.

So we’re all pulling in, and it will probably help as medical discoveries are made about this virus. So many businesses are going to make sure we get back to Open status again.
