The latest Disneyland news direct from the MiceChat crew. Let’s look at when the theme parks might reopen. We’ll warn you, it’s probably not what you want to hear. But there is a silver lining and someone at Disney has just been granted superpowers which just might help the company be a leader in getting the state economy restarted. We’ll also delve into the financial situation of several theme park companies. Some of them may be forced to sell or close parks – the likely candidates might surprise you. And not to worry, we’ll lift you up at the end with some favorite theme park items you can get from home!
