Disneyland previously shared their plans to reopen Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on July 17th and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel were set to open July 23rd.Â

Now, Disney has officially announced that Disneyland Resort WILL not be opening on these dates.Â
In fact, Disneyland is holding off on reopening altogether for the time being and will announce a reopening date at a later time.
According to Disney, “The State of California has indicated that it will not issue theme park reopening guidelines until sometime after July 4. Given the time required for us to bring thousands of cast members back to work and restart our business, we have no choice but to delay the reopening of our theme parks and resort hotels…”
Downtown Disney will reopen on July 9th as planned. You can read more about the reopening Downtown Disney here.Â

Wow, California is the worst (and I’m from there). Will you all pay us workers directly then??? You can’t stay locked away forever. And if you don’t want to go, don’t go. No one is making you, but don’t negatively impact we’re return of our jobs that were so excited to go back to. Unemployment also does not last forever. Your livelihood will not be hurt by protesting reopening, only ours.
Excellent. After 35 years of going to WDW and never being to DL, I will finally be in Anaheim in late July only for it to be closed.
Nothing they can do go at another time I’m sure you can afford it if you go to DW that much This is about health right now you just have to look at the world not theme parks I am a big fan too but the world is not what it used to be right now
This is a good call. Cases in Southern California continue to rise. People aren’t taking the real and dangerous threat of disease seriously and it’s very sad. Money doesn’t matter to the dead.
Joy you have shared wise words. Smart decision for Disneyland because bringing large crowds together right now makes zero sense.
I feel they are making the right choice. The unions are in agreement with waiting to open. A lot of Disney’s employees are part time and as such don’t have health insurance. I know some are going to yell and complain about their perceived “rights”. Please don’t do that and just wait for it to be safe.
Given the current rise in COVID infections, I believe a delay is appropriate.
Glad to hear this. I live in a southern California tourist town, and it is ridiculous here. People should be staying in their own towns, not traveling around and potentially spreading their germs around (particularly since the tourists here seem not to understand that masks are required). It’s no wonder cases are going up here.
I trust Disney is making a hard but fair decision. Better Safe than Sorry – right?
CALL IT WHAT IT IS—DISNEYLAND IS NOT CHOOSING TO NOT OPEN—GOV. NEWSOM IS CALLING THE SHOTS. HE ND HE ALONE IS RESPONSABLE FOR DISNEYLAND NOT REOPENING. FEEL SAFER ON ANY DISNEY PROPERTY THAN MOST OTHER PLACES.
