The Disneyland Resort visitors will have to obtain a reservation
for park entry in advance, the company said in a statement, as
it aims to limit capacity in order to maintain physical
distancing.
Experiences like parades and nighttime spectaculars that
typically draw larger crowds, as well as character
meet-and-greets will be temporarily unavailable, Disney said.
The company has also temporarily halted new ticket sales and
annual passport sales and renewals.
The Downtown Disney District will also be reopening its doors on
July 9 in line with the state's reopening guidelines.
In an April 7 interview, Executive Chairman Bob Iger said Walt
Disney might require theme park visitors to have their
temperatures checked when they reopen after restrictions on
public gatherings are lifted.
Last month, Shanghai Disneyland witnessed a muted reopening
after a 3-month closedown.
