Of course they will.

The experience before involved hot weather, crowds, mewling children, sky-high prices and spawned an industry of bars so mom and dad could drink away some of the stress of the visit.

If you're willing to go through all that, a disease that's only potentially deadly won't stop you.
After a single day at Disney, I'm praying for a swift death.

We were planning Disney this year.  After our foster daughter was placed though, we didn't have the heart.  Turned out for the best there.

I was tempted to take the wife to Epcot to see the French pavilion, but didn't.  I did take her finally to the Biltmore House.  She liked the gardens, and Asheville in general.
I enjoyed Epcot, mostly because they had like 30 kiosks that each had a few small dishes and drinks that were inspired by the various regions of the world and were generally pretty high quality. 

Driving through the grounds of the Biltmore was also something I'll always remember.

Disney World's (FL) Magic Kingdom averages around 55,000 people a day.  First of all, that's NUTS.  I wouldn't have guessed that high in a million years.
Anyway, yeah, imagine if they cut it off at 10,000.  That'd be so much nicer.

I don't think this is a typical UE situation. 

I'm of the opinion that most of our UE is temporary.  Most people will get their jobs back once things start to reopen. 

HOWEVER, not everyone will get their jobs back.  This "long term unemployment" would be more comparable with your link.  I don't think we have quite peaked there yet.

Unemployment will stay high at least through July with the minimum unemployment payment in Arizona being $717 per week with the $600 fed payment that means people are making at least $18 per hour without working. And since you don't have to look for a job under the temporary rules, lots of people are not going to work until the bonus runs out.

I know that we are hiring all kinds of trades right now and our applications are down over 50% of what is typical.

Yeah, I took my three to Disney World .... once.  They didn't ask to go back either.  And it wasn't a disaster, just hot, crowded, expensive, and not really fun.  We'd go to the park near Cincy each year for free anyway, it was sufficient.  King's Island.  When they got old enough, they went there on their own without me, if they wanted.

There is this French beach resort in South Carolina that two of them liked.
I would take Kings Island over Disney any day of the week. One of the things I loved about living in Cincy was that I could get the family season passes to Kings Island and just go in the evening when the crowds were down and not have to worry about hitting everything while there because we would go another day and catch the other. 

A couple of my kids first jobs were at Kings Island.  And for the record The Beast is the best roller coaster bare none.

Which is why to look at vacation company stocks, travel company stocks, Airlines, etc.. So many of them took a dive (stock price) with the pandemic and most of them will probably recover very nicely.

Epcot is the one park at Disney that if I were a local I would visit occasionally.  It’s beautiful there and, like you said, there are some good outdoor dining options with different beers and bar type food.

I’ve always heard the adult way to do Epcot is to stop at each country and have a drink, but I’ve always had kids with me on my trips down there.

Quick story. Like most of you I am not a Disney fan, but I’ve taken my kids down there a couple times.  My best friend and his wife are Disney fanatics though. They have been married 8 years and been to Disney 21 times. Several of those before they had their kids.  I pick on him a little about it.  He says he does for her more than him because she enjoys going down there.

I can not imagine 21 trips to Disney, let alone in an 8 year period.

I don't trust adults with a Disney fascination; particularly male adults.
