$48 billion in debt before Corona, their stock price dropping almost 40% in a month and now Disney has just had to raise $6 billion by way of a debt offering. The House of Mouse may soon be totally buggered... https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-03-20/disney-coronavirus-6-billion-dollars

They are losing an estimated $30 million a day, have furloughed 42,000 staff at Disneyworld alone and increased their borrowing by at least another $5 billion. Even if they are able to get the parks back open this year assuming that an extended period with no usage and minimal maintenance isn't going to cause technical issues with the rides I can't see them getting anywhere near the same amount of income from visitors.
