On Wednesday, Disney announced that Disneyland Resort in California will resume April 30 to state residents, ending the year-long closure of the iconic theme park as Coronavirus spread reduces in the region and inoculations boost.
The two theme parks, Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Park, will resume at fifteen-percent capacity due to red tier measures in the state. Moreover, the state’s theme park resuming measures clearly mentioned that parks could only resume to Californian people for the time being.
On April 29, Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa will resume, but its other two resorts, the Paradise Pier Hotel and Disneyland Hotel, will be opened later.
On Thursday, the hotel will resume its services in a more limited fashion with the opening of its ticketed Touch of Disney program at California Adventure, a dining setup without rides intended to obey state COVID-19 guidelines.
The Downtown Disney shopping district of Disneyland had continued to open even though the shutdowns and a limited part of California Adventure has been unclosed for dining and shopping since November.
