The joy and magic of the Disneyland Resort will return on April 30, 2021 as Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure plan to resume operation after a year of being closed. The park will resume with limited operations and limited capacity as dictated by the State of California. In the days leading up to the public opening the resort will invite cast members and members of the local community to be the first theme park guests.
Guest will once again be transported to a world of magic as the theme park comes back to life with unforgettable attractions, beloved characters, shopping, food and drinks, and numerous photo opportunities.
New magic will be unveiled as the reimagined Snow White’s Enchanted Wish will open for the public for the very first time. The timeless tale comes alive in dazzling new scenes, including a dancing figure of Snow White joining the dwarfs in their cottage as the scent of a baking pie wafts through the air. Vibrant new shadow projections show the dwarfs as they march off to the mine happily singing “Heigh Ho,” and the new lighting, glittering jewels and shimmering effects make the mine sparkle. Guests then travel through the Queen’s den to see a new library of spell books, glowing potions and bubbling flasks, toward the famous magic mirror. In the end, Snow White and her Prince ride joyfully into a golden sunset to live happily ever after.
“The day all of us have long been waiting for is almost here,” said Ken Potrock, president of the Disneyland Resort. “We’re excited to have more than 10,000 cast members returning to work as we get ready to welcome our guests back to this happy place.”
- After being closed for more than one year, magic is back at Disneyland Resort theme parks
- More than 10,000 Cast Members are returning to work
- Guests will be welcomed back to explore new magic and favorite experiences – from iconic attractions and character sightings to shopping, dining and hotel stays
- Enhanced health and safety measures will be in place
The health and well-being of guests and cast members remain a top priority. Just as the Downtown Disney District reopened at Disneyland Resort on July 9, 2020, with enhanced health and safety measures, operational changes will be in place at the theme parks and hotels based on guidance from health authorities and learnings from our parks around the world to promote physical distancing, enhanced cleanliness and reduced contact. Cast members throughout the resort will be dedicated to assist with questions, and guests may check Disneyland.com/update for the most current health and safety measures, including mandatory face coverings for guests ages 2 and older.
The plans to open the Disneyland Resort are phased and subject to changes released by the State of California. In order to help with social distancing attendance will be managed through a new park reservation system that will require guest to obtain a reservation for park entry. The entry will only be valid if accompanied by a valid admission for the same date. Only California residents may visit the park during the phased guidelines from the state.
More details about this new reservation system will be available soon. In addition, guests are encouraged to check Disneyland.com for the latest updates as they become available for theme park tickets, hotel booking and vacation packages, dining reservations and activity reservations such as Droid Depot.
