He says the parks are good to reopen if Disney still chooses to do so. He said the theme parks will be a "safe environment". This is on the cusp of the state of Florida reporting over 10,000+ new COVID-19 cases per day.

And when you have all of the different procedures that they have in place, people are going to be—it's a safe environment. Disney, I have no doubt is going to be a safe environment....I'm really impressed with what Universal's done, and I've looked at Disney's plan and it is very, very thorough.
