A quick look at the current line outside of the Disneyland Resort 🚶 Downtown Disney opens at 10 am.

Minutes after opening, the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney was mobbed by a non-socially-distanced throng scooping up armfuls of plush toys, kids’ backpacks and Disney-branded sweatshirts.

It's crazy at The World of Disney store in Downtown Disney.

“Definitely some people are ready to go back to work and are looking forward to earning a living again, but there’s quite a few people who are scared and just don’t know what to expect and feel vulnerable,” said Andrea Zinder, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324, which represents the Downtown Disney employees.

The phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks begins on Saturday with Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, followed July 15 by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Actors’ Equity Association, which represents 750 Walt Disney World workers, demanded coronavirus testing as a condition for returning to work.

Equity says Disney has “locked out” its union members as a way of retaliating against the demand.

In an email to Deadline, a Disney spokesperson said, “Seven unions signed agreements to have their employees return to work, the Actors’ Equity rejected our safety protocols and have not made themselves available to continue negotiations, which is unfortunate!

Equity says Walt Disney World rescinded its recall notices for Equity members on June 26

“We also think it’s really necessary that Disney provide extra paid time off to anyone who is required to quarantine by a doctor or medical professional because they were exposed in some way or another,” Zinder said

“We’re hopeful the mask rule they’re putting in place will be enforced because that is very, very important, especially in a place like World of Disney, which is an indoor facility,” Zinder said prophetically

Orange County Supervisor Doug Chaffee, whose district includes Downtown Disney and Disneyland, said the company has a reputation for making sure patrons follow the rules

Anaheim spokesman Mike Lyster said city officials are “very encouraged and happy to see Downtown Disney opening.”

Only outdoor dining is allowed at this time in Downtown Disney

As for Disneyland itself and neighboring California Adventure, Disney brass have indicated that they are awaiting guidance from the state before announcing a reopening date
