Welcome, Janette. Thank you for taking the time to visit us here at planDisney with your question.
How I really wish I have a crystal ball to gaze into the future. At this time, there is still no official announcement regarding when
Disneyland Resort theme parks and hotels will reopen, pending state and local government approval. Currently,
Downtown Disney District is open and extended to include
Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure park. Many retail locations are available, and Guests can purchase food and drinks at certain establishments. However, I understand that it just doesn’t quite compare to being inside the theme parks riding immersive attractions and strolling down Main Street USA. I see you had put down an arrival date of August 16, 2021; I sincerely wish that by then, we can
all enjoy the magic and pixie dust that Disneyland Resort theme parks have to offer.
The Disneyland Resort theme parks will reopen with some
important updates to promote physical distancing. A big change Guests can expect will be the introduction of a new Park Reservation System. All Guests will be required to obtain reservation for park entry in advance to help manage capacity; this will enable Guests and Cast Members to maintain physical distancing for health and safety purposes.
Recently, Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock announced directly to Cast Members some wonderful news in a letter commemorating the 20th Anniversary of Disney California Adventure Park – that a new offering is coming in mid-March! Not a whole lot of details have been released yet, but I cannot wait to hear the official news regarding this all-new, limited-time, ticketed experience focusing on world-famous food and beverage offerings from around the resort. During this experience, Disneyland Resort theme parks, specifically the rides and attractions, will still remain closed. Janette, I highly recommend staying up to date by visiting
Disney Parks Blog and
Disneyland.com for the latest official news.
If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to swing by planDisney again soon. We are all EARS!
See ya real soon,
Kiki
