The Disney California Adventure Park is set for a limited reopening mid-March for a “limited-time ticketed experience” of outdoor dining, the company stated Monday.
One thousand Disneyland Resort cast members will return to work after almost yr since the park shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Cast members received the news via a letter from Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock, which also markets the 20th anniversary of the park.
The park, however, does not have an official reopening date, and attractions won’t be operational during this experience.
“What I am most thrilled about is that this initiative — together with the recent reopening of our outside eating on Buena Vista Street — permits us to bring about 1,000 cast members back to work,” Patrick stated. “Whereas that’s clearly not all we need to accomplish, it’s a begin. Teams are working as we speak to start recalling identified cast within the coming weeks.”
Approximately 350 employees have returned to work with the reopening of select Downtown Disney District dining, following the lift of the regional stay-at-home order.
California Assemblywomen Sharon Quirk-Silva, D-Buena Park, and Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita, introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at hastening the reopening of Disneyland, which has been shuttered since March, and other California theme parks.
The bill proposes to move larger theme parks, together with Disneyland, to California’s orange tier, which is one of the benchmark levels for reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
