Bob Iger mentioned that it will be an inconvenience as the wait will be longer but the checks are to bring back normalcy in the minds of people.

Bob Iger further explained the temperature checks by saying that this is similar to the lesson learnt after 9/11. Post 9/11, security and bag checking was made mandatory at high-risk areas. Similarly, temperature checks are majorly a precautionary move. Disneyland already gets bags checked at the entry points and this step will only be an additional measure.

Iger believes that this move will be to let people fall back to normalcy. Disney has shut all its operations on ground at the moment until future notice.
