Why isn’t she criticising the disgusting and perverted activities that have taken place at the Disney Parks for years - pedophilia, mind control and satanic abuse of children. Not to mention the perverted subliminal messages in Disney movies.

FAKE NEWS !

Wow...really ppl ? Theyve been taking down America by piecemeal and all you can do is bad mouth ppl and play into the drama helping them knock us down even more...people need to snap out of twitter hypnotism and get with the program...Americas goin down...

Get a grip lady! No one HAS to go and no one HAS to work. They are all adults

EPCOT

Trended worldwide no. 1

boycott disney

Still waiting for the statues of that racist, sexist, anti-semitic Walt Disney to be protested and torn down. He's perceived to play for the team so he gets a pass.

Those corp bonuses drawn from the common worker's blood, sweat, and tears They are proud to follow crooked president donald trump.

I’ll never watch Disney again

Fake news.

American seem to be very bad at willing to go without for the greater good. WWII would have been lost depending on the current White House and 'I the got my rights do what I want' generation.

As they absolutely do. Disney is honestly one of the worst places as far as treating cast members. Low wages, treated badly

That’s a heck of a lot of white guilt.

She is so tiresome. Same shit, different day. Tell her to go work at Walmart, Home Depot, Kroger for a few weeks ..

Amen

Maybe she should rid herself of that filthy disney stock she has Maybe donate it to the workers she is talking about

And I agree with her 110%, Disney used to be about the people. If it was still about the people and not the economy then this debate wouldn't be happening because they'd still be shut!

It's strange that an 'heiress' doesn't understand why people employed at Disney World would need to work to, you know, pay for food and shelter and electricity and stuff.

Still hasn't given up her fortune. Nothing says 'woke' like living off your fortune from grandpa while bashing the company. These leftists are all so predictable. Her neighbors Seth and Brad must be so impressed.

disney has a long record of treating it's workers as expendable. She is just pointing that out

I'll cum clean and say I started dark Disney and Long beach california and Facebook has been getting paid and killed off. Come on down. We now I'm in the business and wrote about the high jack. But get your annual pass.

Fewer Trump voters.

So is she going to give her inheritance to the workers if they are laid off!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

I agree with Abigail Disney. Just as Trump should have spent more time combating the virus, Disney should not have opened until the virus was under control in Florida.

Anon111Q Lady do you realize how many people would love a job right now? Assuming we stop printing money like fools and paying people to sit home (whether it's this month or November 4rth as planned). Turn off fear porn, sack up open up this country🇺🇸 MAGA 🇺🇸 Trump2020 🇺🇸

Who cares what this spoiled little heiress thinks. Seriously. Walt created something AMAZING. She hasn’t created shit.

Love how Disney responded to this nut. Someone's sour she's not raking in big Disney bucks. BTW, while you're whining about Disney not providing testing, that is a snapshot of that day, you could contract in 5 minutes later. Symtom based isolation is the current recommendation.

The corporate world needs more Abigail Disneys

Disney's re-opening will be like a massive biohazard soup of glorious Covid-19 for kids.

With glasses so thick she can see into the future.

I think Disney made a bad call and just don't know how to undo it now.

As of 7/23 we have 143823 deaths in the US from covid-19. Planned Parenthood killed 332,757 babies in 2018 & 345,672 in 2019. Not a peep from Yahoo, , ABC, CBS, MSNBC. COVID19 is a political headline.. not the mass murder of babies. Trump2020

She looks like a typical crazy “feminist” liberal hater.

Disney Couldn’t agree more! I had planned to take my son in Sept. and we cancelled our trip. And I am totally surprised that Disney would risk the health of its guest and employees for money. What didn’t they make enough on Marvel to tide them over for a while!?

Are you also speaking out against rioters in crowds? Or only targeting businesses for economic reasons? Because you know, being that it's an election year, you don't want economy to do well and give POTUS any credit.

Who?
