It is a big bet disney is starting off slow with the Magic Kingdom and animal kingdom, two of its five orlando parks with limited capacity. This is a very big deal for disney to start the staged reopening of disney world after closing both of its domestic parks on march 14th. Yesterday it started reopening downtown disney. Thats the outdoor mall by its anaheim park it mandated masks and social distancing there this is an important moment for disney parks and resorts which last year was the largest with Revenue Generating about 35 of revenue in 2019. Its estimated disney lost more than a billion dollars between april and june at those domestic parks because of those closures.

I think in terms of the Animal Welfare, that will be the most and were seeing anywhere between 50 to 60 cost increase to move over to nae products. And for us, its figuring out ways to creatively pass that along, whether it to be the cafe or increasing our prices through the cafe and, also, reducing meats. We have reducing meats and every monday is a meatless monday and normally, we would serve about 200 pounds of protein on a monday, but over the last, i would say, three months, we havent done meat on mondays and thats pretty significant. Thats about it. Im happy to answer my questions. Thank you very much. So we have elvis lavaera to speak about laguna honda. Yes. Im from the laguna honda hospital. So, yes, we currently serve 170 residents and offer a 28day cycle menu to the residents.
