One of the safety measures in place upon the reopening of the parks will be limited guest capacity to promote physical distancing. And Disney has revealed that — as will be the case when Walt Disney World reopens its theme parks starting July 11th — Disneyland Resort will utilize a reservation system for guests.

The new theme park reservation system will require that all guests — including Annual Passholders — obtain a reservation to enter a park in advance of their visit to Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure. Reservations will be subject to availabilty.

Disney announces Disneyland Phased Reopening Dates

Disney announces Disneyland Phased Reopening Dates Disneyland Phased Reopening

Just released… We have the Disneyland Phased Reopening Dates!

Sixty-five years to the date after the historic opening of Disneyland park, we are planning to open our theme park gates once again on July 17th, 2020, welcoming guests back to the Disneyland Resort.

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products today announced proposed plans for a phased reopening of the Disneyland Resort. Pending state and local government approvals, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel plan to reopen on July 23rd, and Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park will plan to reopen on July 17th. Additionally, Downtown Disney District will begin reopening on July 9th.

Because theme park capacity will be significantly limited to comply with governmental requirements and promote physical distancing, the Disneyland Resort will manage attendance 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. At this time, there will also be a temporary pause on new ticket sales and Annual Passport sales and renewals. Additional details will be available soon.

Please check Disneyland.com for the most current information.

Once approved, the Disneyland Resort will reopen with enhanced health and safety measures. In addition, a Guest Experience Team will be available throughout the parks and Downtown Disney District to assist guests with questions regarding these new policies.

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.

Pending governmental approval, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, and Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa are planned to reopen to guests and members starting on July 23rd. 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 Vacation Club.

Downtown Disney District will begin reopening on July 9th in line with the state’s reopening guidelines, with its unique variety of shopping and dining experiences, including the flagship World of Disney store. With the health of guests and Disney cast members at the forefront of planning, several operational changes will be implemented based on guidance from health authorities to promote physical distancing and cleanliness throughout the Downtown Disney District.

Additional information on enhanced health and safety measures and operational changes for reopening locations will be shared soon. These policies are under continuous review and are subject to change as the Disneyland Resort monitors conditions and receives guidance from health and government authorities.

Don’t forget Walt Disney World in Flordia will be reopening in July too!

Is Disneyland Opening This July?

Disneyland

The Disneyland Resort remains closed due to COVID-19 but there was recently a change to the resort website that might give us a glimpse at when the parks could reopen.

Disney has not made an official announcement or even submitted reopening plans, however, tickets are now available to purchase online for dates starting July 16, 2020!

July 17 is Disneyland’s 65th anniversary so it would be great timing if the parks reopened on the 16th. The website also states that reservations are available beginning July 15th.

Keep in mind this is pure speculation and we will continue to update our readers as information is released.
