It is one of the world’s favorite theme parks. 

But not even the Magic Kingdom can ward off the coronavirus. Walt Disney Co. is laying off 28,000 workers at its U.S. theme parks. 

Months-long closures and capacity limits in the parks that have re-opened, hit its bottom line. 

Disney lost $4.7 billion in its most recent fiscal quarter, its first quarterly loss in nearly two decades. 

Disney’s parks in Florida, France, Japan and China have reopened with curbs on capacity. 

But the gates remain closed at California’s Disneyland and another Disney park there, California Adventure.
