Disney World Is Really Opening Tomorrow Despite Florida Extending Its State of Emergency

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL - JULY 09: A view of Mickey Mouse at the Walt Disney World theme park entrance on July 9, 2020 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The theme park is scheduled to reopen on Saturday despite a surge in new Covid-19 infections throughout Florida, including the central part of the state where Orlando is located.

Disney World reopens to the public on Saturday, with Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom to start with, and then on the 15th of July, Hollywood Studios and Epcot will follow. This is already a bad idea, but it becomes even worse if you remember that this is reopening in Florida, which just extended its state of emergency for another 60 days due to its surge in COVID-19 cases.
