Disneyland, California Adventure Park to reopen April 30, Disney announces
"A Touch of Disney" marks the latest chapter in a gradual reopening of Disneyland Resort, which was temporarily shut down last March 14 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Downtown Disney reopened at limited capacity last July, and on Wednesday Disney CEO revealed that Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are slated to reopen at limited capacity on April 30.
"We're ready to make magic all over again," Chapek said in an interview with ABC7. "We're certainly going to be operating with capacity constraints, but at the same time it's going to be that Disney experience that everyone has come to expect."
Health officials' loosening of coronavirus restrictions was prompted by improving COVID-19 trends across the state.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of Disneyland Resort and ABC7.
