California Attractions and Parks Association Calls the State’s Theme Park Guidelines ‘A Keep Theme Parks Closed Indefinitely Plan’

Today, the state of California announced its reopening guidelines for theme parks, which, of course, includes Disneyland.

Under the new guidelines, Disneyland will only be able to reopen once Orange County, California — the county in which they are located — reaches the Yellow or Minimal tier, or less than 1 daily new case of COVID-19 per 100,000 people. And once the county reaches that tier, they can only be open to 25% total capacity, indoor dining and drinking establishments within the park can only be operating at 25% and there must be a reservation system.
