Disney CEO Takes ‘Baby Steps,’ Opening Parks Later Than Rivals
- Company plans to reopen Orlando properties in mid-July
- ‘We want to build that trust in this new environment,’ he says
Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Chapek is planning to be more cautious than other theme-park operators in reopening attractions, saying he wants to take extra time to build trust with customers.
The company aims to begin admitting guests back in its parks in Florida in mid-July. Meanwhile, rivals such as Comcast Corp.’s Universal Studios and SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. plan to begin reopening their parks in the state early next month.
