Downtown Disney’s World of Disney

The reopening date for the parks and resorts was announced, only to be delayed. Now, we know that Downtown Disney will be opening as planned (with a few changes!) on July 9th despite the suspension of indoor operations for several sectors in California counties.

Earlier today, California Governor Gavin Newsom mandated that all restaurants, wineries and tasting rooms, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos, and museums and cardrooms in 19 counties, including Orange County, where Disneyland resides, must close their indoor operations. But that’s not stopping Downtown Disney.

According to People, Downtown Disney will be opening on July 9th, but all restaurants will only have outdoor seating. By making this change, Disney is able to open the shopping, dining, and entertainment complex while staying within the confines of the new government action.

Face Masks now Required in Anaheim Citywide anaheim face masks

Anaheim has now issued a citywide face mask requirement for when people are in public. The Anaheim requirement makes state guidance for wearing face coverings mandatory in Anaheim and went into effect yesterday, June 30.

The order requires the use of face masks:

  • Inside and in line for any indoor public space
  • At any healthcare setting
  • Using public transit or rideshare
  • At workplaces in common areas
  • For any food service, packaging or distribution
  • In any room or enclosed area where you’re unable to distance from those outside your own household.
  • Outside when within six feet of others

Those with special considerations are exempt, and face coverings are not required in certain situations:

  • Children younger than 2
  • Those with health, mental or developmental considerations
  • Those who face workplace risks from wearing a face covering
  • Medical treatments where removal is necessary
  • While eating or drinking
  • While exercising outdoors or indoors when distanced from others
  • While working outdoors when distanced
  • Those who are incarcerated

Disneyland will be following city and state guidelines when the theme parks reopen. All cast members and guests age 2 and older will be required to wear face masks when visiting the Disneyland Resort.

Face Masks not Required in Orange County California but Recommended

Face Masks not Required in Orange County California but Recommended orange county

The Orange County Register is reporting that Orange County California is no longer requiring face masks to be worn in public. While masks are no longer required, they are still “strongly recommended”.

Orange County Health Care Agency Director Dr. Clayton Chau said that while he believes wearing cloth masks helps slow the spread of COVID-19, the county wanted to be consistent with state guidelines, which don’t mandate face coverings.

“This will give our business community and individuals the ability to make the most appropriate decision for them and their situation,” he said.

When asked about the rule change, Chau said, “This decision is not because of the public pushback on it and we are not taking the masks away. We strongly recommend that people wear masks.”

Masks are still required for workers who deal with the public like at grocery stores and gas stations.

While Disneyland announced their reopening plans, there’s been no word if guests will be required to wear masks while at the park.

California Is Set to Move to Stage 3 of Reopening Tomorrow — Here’s What That Means

Now that Disneyland has submitted its proposed reopening dates and parts of Universal CityWalk in Hollywood have already begun to reopen, Califonia’s phased reopening plan seems to be chuggin’ along.

California Is Set to Move to Stage 3 of Reopening Tomorrow — Here’s What That Means

Hollywood Sign

Stage 3 of Governor Newsom’s plan will go into effect this Friday which will means that more locations and businesses will receive the green light to reopen.

While Newsom’s plan has four stages, most of the state entered stage two in May. California’s reopening has been more gradual than other parts of the country and Newsom says counties still have the option of moving forward slower than the rest of the state if they choose to do so.

Universal Studios

Dine-in restaurants, houses of worship, hair salons, and non-essential retail stores were allowed to reopen last month at each counties’ discretion. Once stage 3 begins on Friday, the following locations may resume assuming all health guidelines and necessary safety precautions (limited capacity, social distancing, increased sanitation) are implemented:

  • Schools
  • Day Camps
  • Bars
  • Gyms
  • Campgrounds
  • Professional Sports

For schools and day camps, only counties that are below the threshold of cases will be permitted to reopen (which almost every county meets). The state will provide further guidance (including rules) on how hotels, casinos, museums, zoos, and aquariums can safely operate as well as the filming of television and movie productions and recording of music can resume.

Since California officials have stated Disneyland will be allowed to reopen in stage three, we’re eager to see if the proposed dates are finalized soon.
