Disney World has no opening date or plans to share with the public, Disney World SVP says

Disney has no opening date yet and even though it is taking reservations starting for June 1 that doesn’t mean the resort will open on June 1, Walt Disney World Senior VP Thomas Mazloum told the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force on Monday, May 4.

Mazloum, who is the Disney respresentative to the Orange County Task Force said Disney has no plans to share about Disney World at this point.

Walt Disney World closed its theme parks at the close of business March 15 and the resorts by the end of that week.

When asked for an update by  Unicorp National Development President Chuck Whittall, chairman of task force’s Reopening of Business Work Group, Mazloum said:

“We do not have any opening date yet. As some of you may know we, at this point, we are taking bookings that were in June. That doesn’t mean we are opening in June. At this time I just want to make it clear that we don’t have any plans to share about Walt Disney World or for that matter any of our other parks at this point. 

“Clearly regulatory guidance is an important element of this in each area and country where we work,” Mazloum said.

When Whittall brought up the speculation by some financial analysts that theorized Disney World would not reopen until Jan. 1 and asked if there was a window, Mazloun again said:

“At this point, I just to be clear that we simply don’t have any plans to share about Walt Disney World yet.”

Walt Disney CEO Bob Chapek and Executive Chairman Bob Iger will most likely get peppered with similar questions on Tuesday, May 5 during the Walt Disney Company’s quarterly earnings call.
