Finally, Disneyland Has a Path to Reopen – California Residents Only at First

Disneyland will be allowed to reopen as soon as the 1st of April at 15% capacity.  Disneyland, Disney California Adventure plus other California amusement and theme parks will be able to open with rides and attractions as soon as next month if Orange County improves to the Red Tier on the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy reopening rules.

Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort, said that they are encouraged that theme parks now have a path toward reopening this spring, getting thousands of people back to work, and greatly helping neighboring businesses and our entire community.

Here are some of the new details on California’s four-tiered system: 

Capacity will be limited to 15% for California parks in the red tier; the cap rises to 25% once a county progresses to the orange tier and 35% upon reaching the most lenient tier, yellow.

Purple Tier (widespread rate of more than 8% positive test rate) = Closed.

Red Tier (substantial rate of 5-8% positive test rate) =
Max 15%
Small Groups – Max 10 people or 3 household groups with no intergroup mixing
Indoor capacity max 15% with time restrictions
No indoor dining
Weekly worker testing program
In-state visitors only, check for current CDPH Travel Advisory in effect
Online ticket purchases only

Orange Tier (moderate rate of 2-4.9% positive test rate =
Max 25% Capacity
Indoor capacity max 25% with time restrictions
Weekly worker testing program
With other modifications
In-state visitors only, check for current CDPH Travel Advisory in effect.

Yellow Tier (minimal rate of less than 2% positive test rate =
Max 35%
Indoor capacity max 25% with time restrictions
Weekly worker testing program

Keep in mind, so long as the statewide travel advisory remains in place, the parks can only accept visitors from within the state of California.
