So far, Disney’s zealous theme park safety procedures appear to be working. University epidemiologists and public health officials have said that — as far as they can tell — there have been no outbreaks among Disney workers or guests. Disney has declined to comment except to note that new infections in Florida have dropped sharply since Disney World reopened. Osceola County, which abuts Disney World to the south, had 15.1 percent unemployment in August, up from 3.5 percent. Over the summer, Orlando unions created a weekly food bank for furloughed theme park workers.
