In order to return to some semblance of normal, people will have to feel comfortable that they're safe.

Some of that could come in form ultimately of a vaccine, but in the absence of that, it could come from more scrutiny, more restrictions.

Just as we now do bag checks for everybody that goes into our parks, it could be that at some point

we had a component of that that takes people's temperatures.

I'm Jack Howe. Welcome to the Barron Streetwise Podcast.

The person you just heard is Bob Eiger. He's the executive chairman at Walt Disney.

And for anyone who's been to Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California,

the idea of visitors having their temperatures checked on the way into parks might be jarring.

It's one example among many of how the coronavirus pandemic might change entertainment,

including theme parks, movies, and television.

We'll hear more from Iger in a moment and we'll get some predictions from two Wall Street

analysts.

Hi, Meta.

Hey Jack.

Meta, you've produced podcasts about Disney The Company, but have you ever been to a Disney theme park?

Nope. I went once as a kid, the family loaded up to the wood paneled station wagon

and we drove from New York down to Florida and we went for like a day and my mom bought me one thing in the way out of the park and that was one of those spirally lollipops and I can remember the taste of every groove on that

lollipop from the pop-up rumble seat in the back of the station wagon

heading out of Disney World and I feel like a lot of people have a story like that

but I've also been seven times in the past six years with my kids.

Did that just get weird?

That kind of weird.
