Attendance will initially be capped at roughly
15% of capacity, Disney Chief Executive Bob Chapek said on CNBC
television.
Advance reservations and an admission ticket will be required
for entry. Guests age 2 and up will need to wear masks, except
when eating, drinking or swimming, and follow other safety
measures including temperature checks before entering and social
distancing on rides and throughout the parks.
Under state guidelines, capacity may increase if the prevalence
of coronavirus in the area continues to fall.
The Disneyland Resort, located in Anaheim 35 miles southeast of
Los Angeles, closed in mid-March of 2020. The resort includes
the original Disneyland, nicknamed "The Happiest Place on
Earth," and the adjacent California Adventure theme parks.
Florida's Walt Disney World parks reopened to visitors in July
2020 and Disney officials had been urging the state of
California to ease reopening restrictions.
