After being shut down for more than a year amid the coronavirus pandemic, Disneyland is finally set to reopen. CEO Bob Chapek announced Wednesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Alley” that the California theme parks will reopen on April 30.
Per state guidelines, the parks will operate at 15% capacity upon reopening. Masks will be required at the parks, and other health precautions will also be implemented.
“We’ve seen the enthusiasm, the craving for people to return to our parks around the world,” Chapek. “We’ve been operating at Walt Disney World for about nine months, and there certainly is no shortage of demand.”
The Disneyland resort hotels will experience a phased reopening. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will open on April 29 at a limited capacity. The Vacation Club at the Grand Californian will reopen on May 2. No reopening date has been given for Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel or the Disneyland Hotel.
It was previously reported that with the park set to reopen, more than 10,000 cast members have been called back to work.
