Both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will reopen on April 30 at a reduced capacity along with other precautions in place, including mandatory masks, social distancing, temperature screening, and enhanced cleaning procedures.

"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."

The park initially closed on March 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but will be reopening as California continues to see a decline in new cases, according to USA Today.
