Disneyland Resort Reopens After Year Long Closure

Sleeping Beauty Castle

After more than a year, the Disneyland Resort is welcoming back theme park guests.

Favorite sights and familiar sounds have returned, from the smiling face of Mickey Mouse on the Pixar Pal-A-Round to the welcoming whistle of the Disneyland Railroad.

Beloved characters from favorite Disney stories are here to entertain and delight in new ways and sometimes in unexpected places. And those much-missed treats – DOLE Whip, Corn Dogs, not to mention churros – are also back to satisfy cravings. Take a look at the Disney Parks video that marks the occasion below:

Health guidelines will require guests to go through a temperature screening before entering the park and to wear face masks. They’ll also need to remain 6 feet apart from other groups. People who visit together will be limited to no more than three households. Other measures to reduce the chance of viral transmission include cashless transactions and enhanced cleaning practices, the Walt Disney Co. said.

Only California residents will be allowed to visit, and daily crowd sizes will be limited due to safety protocols.
