And while Downtown Disney will be moving forward with its plans to welcome back guests starting this Thursday, the other Disneyland Resort reopenings have been delayed.

Since it is unknown when Disney’s Californian Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Resort will reopen, we chatted with a Disneyland Resort Cast Member who confirmed these hotels are no longer accepting new bookings for the month of July. The earliest new reservation you can now make is August 1st. It is also still unknown when the Disneyland Hotel will reopen.

The Cast Member also informed us that the standard reservation cancellation policy has been re-instated.

Previously, the policy stated Disney would waive cancellation fees through July 22nd. Now the policy says they will work with guests that may have been impacted by the closure with no specific date listed. As of today, here’s how Disneyland Resort’s cancellation fee policy now reads on its website.

The friendly Cast Member also informed us it is still unknown at this time when Disneyland Resort’s theme parks and hotels will reopen. We’ll continue to keep an eye on Disneyland’s homepage for the most up-to-date information regarding Disneyland’s phased reopening and we’ll let you know as soon as Disneyland releases more information soon!

NEWS: California Requires the Wearing of Face Coverings in Public Areas

It has just been announced that Californians are required to wear face masks or coverings when in common and public spaces.

NEWS: California Requires the Wearing of Face Coverings in Public Areas

Starting today — June 18th — coverings must be worn “in common and public indoor spaces and outdoors when distancing is not possible.”

A tweet by the Office of the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, links to the new face covering mandate, which you can also find here.

Exemptions include — but are not limited to — children ages two and under as well as “Persons who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that offers food or beverage service, while they are eating or drinking.”

Recently, Orange County (where Disneyland Resort is located) revised its face mask policy. However, as a reminder, this new mandate is statewide. (Guests and cast members at Disneyland Resort will be required to wear face coverings, as noted on the Disneyland Resort website.)

This announcement comes ahead of the proposed reopening of Disneyland Resort, which will — pending approval — begin with the Downtown Disney District on July 9th, followed by the parks on July 17th. You can find out more about the reopening of Disneyland and Disney Parks around the world by visiting any of the links below.

Complete List of Reopening Details for Disneyland When it Opens Next Month

Complete List of Reopening Details for Disneyland When it Opens Next Month

The Disneyland Resort is still closed but pending government approval, the parks will reopen next month! Let’s go over all of the reopening details for Disneyland you’ll want to know.

The Downtown Disney District will begin opening on July 9. Pending government approval, both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will reopen July 17. And Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen July 23.

Upon reopening, certain Disneyland Resort theme parks, hotels, restaurants and other locations may be limited in capacity and subject to restricted availability or even closure based on guidance from health experts and government officials.

Certain attractions, experiences, services, and amenities will be modified, have limited availability, or remain closed. Park admission and offerings are not guaranteed.

Disney’s focus remains on the health and safety of all guests and Cast Members. When the resort reopens there will be enhanced health and safety measures in place which include:

  • Enhanced Protective Measures: Face coverings for both Cast Members and Guests will be required, with the addition of hand-washing stations and physical barriers, where appropriate.
  • Physical Distancing: Theme park capacity will be reduced to enable physical distancing and appropriate signs will be added to help Guests move responsibly throughout the property.
  • Temperature Checks: All Guests will undergo temperature screenings prior to entering the Downtown Disney District or the theme parks; in addition, health screenings and temperature checks will be required daily for Cast Members.
  • Limited-Contact Enhancements: Cashless transactions are recommended and Cast Member and Guest interactions will be reduced with helpful technology, including the expansion of Mobile Order in the Disneyland app, Apple Pay and more.
  • Enhanced Cleaning and Sanitation: Disney will build upon its existing standards of cleaning with heightened protocols.

There will also be a new park reservation system in place when the parks reopen. The following updates will help promote physical distancing:

  • Park Reservations: Because theme park capacity will be significantly limited to comply with governmental requirements and promote physical distancing, attendance will be managed through a new theme park reservation system that will require all Guests, including Annual Passholders, to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance. Theme park reservations will be subject to availability. More details about this new reservation system will be available soon.
  • New Ticket Sales: At this time, Disney is also temporarily pausing new ticket sales and Annual Passport sales and renewals. Additional details will be provided soon.
  • Hotels of the Disneyland Resort: Pending governmental approval, Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests will once again enjoy being immersed in the magic when Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, and Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa reopen to Guests and members starting on July 23, 2020. The Disneyland Hotel will open at a later date. Plans to support physical distancing as well as increased cleaning measures, along with a number of other health and safety protocols, will be implemented as part of the phased reopening of the hotels and the Disney Vacation Club.

Additionally, select attractions and certain experiences that draw large group gatherings—such as parades and nighttime spectaculars—will return at a later date. While character meet-and-greets will be temporarily unavailable, Characters will be in the parks in new ways to entertain and delight Guests. The Disneyland Resort will also have capacity measures in place, as well as limitations on parking and operating hours.

Online Petition Calls on Disneyland to Delay Reopening

Online Petition Calls on Disneyland to Delay Reopening disneyland reservations

Right on the heels of an announcement from the Walt Disney Company that Disneyland California will be reopening, comes a petition from fans to delay the event. The park is still awaiting state approval for its July 17th plan, a date that coincides with Disneyland’s 65th anniversary, but some park-goers are uncomfortable with any date before new COVID-19 case numbers have dropped.

Online Petition Calls on Disneyland to Delay Reopening Disneyland ReOpening

The petition on change.org has gained more than 28,000 signatures as of Saturday and is gaining momentum. Signatures come from fans, Annual Passholders, and even some Cast Members who cite concerns over their own health and that of their family members.

The petition’s description states “As you know, Covid-19 cases are rising and have not dropped. Many people have lost loved ones due to this pandemic and by reopening the parks they are endangering cast members and guests to be exposed to Covid-19. There are more cases now than when the parks closed on March 13th, 2020. Health officials have stated that the 2nd wave of Covid-19 will be worse. So reopening before the 2nd wave even hits us is irresponsible and greedy.”

Walt Disney World is opening on July 11th, and representatives of both parks are claiming to have new safety measures to implement. Capacity will be severely limited at first, relying on a new reservation system for guests, masks will be required, and many live events such as parades, fireworks, and character meet-and-greets will be suspended; other guidelines have yet to be released.

It remains to be seen whether this petition will affect current plans. What do you think of Disneyland’s reopening plans? Is it too soon or right on time?
