Anyone willing to go to Disney World in this environment is probably doing lots of other risky things too.

Very easy to social distance and they limit how many can go in. They even social distance parking. I’m not surprised at all that there hasn’t been any outbreak. It’s mostly outside as well.

As people come from all over the country and are only there a short time. Its not like a school, where they trace where a person has been and who they've had contact with.

With Disney, by the time someone shows symptoms, they could be very far from the park.

The vast majority of visitors to WDW are from outside Florida. If they contract the virus, it might show up in their state's stats or in Canada's stats, etc.

and the people might not even know how or where they contracted the virus. Sounds like a recipe for disaster and unless Disney World's employees get sick, they will be pretty blameless.
