The state of California released the long-awaited theme park reopening guidelines yesterday, which calls into question when large theme parks like the Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood can actually reopen. The guidelines dictate that larger theme parks with capacities of above 15,000 may not reopen until the county in which it resides enters the Yellow “Minimal” tier. Disneyland Gate But what does that actually MEAN in terms of a reopening timeline? And how is that timeline affected when you take into consideration what health experts are saying about a rise in cases? We’re breaking it down for you. When is the EARLIEST Disneyland can reopen? California has four “tiers” as part of their reopening blueprint, each with a color code that corresponds to the virus’ prevalence in that county. The tiers are Yellow (Minimal), Orange (Moderate), Red (Substantial), and Purple (Widespread). In order for a county to advance to the next tier, they must report metrics that meet the next tier’s threshold for two consecutive weeks. Metrics needed for California counties to advance to reopening tiers. Source: covid19.ca.gov So, for example, a county that is currently in the Red “Substantial” tier must produce an adjusted case rate between 1-3.9 per 100,000 residents, a positivity rate between 2-4.9%, AND a Health Equity Metric that is between 2.2-5.2% for two consecutive weeks before they are allowed to advance to the Orange tier. Source: State of California As of this writing, Orange County, where Disneyland resides, is in the Red “Substantial” tier and has yet to meet the Orange tier thresholds. This means that as of this writing Orange County is still at least two weeks away from entering the Orange tier. Source: State of California Once Orange County advances to the Orange tier, they must remain in that tier for a minimum of two weeks before advancing to the Yellow “Minimal” tier, which is the tier that Disneyland is allowed to reopen under. And once again, they would need to produce the metrics required under the Yellow tier for two consecutive weeks in order to advance. Keep in mind, if they move BACK a tier at all in the process, the clock resets and the two-week window per tier starts again! Disney California Adventure Park So, what is the SHORTEST timeline under which Disneyland can reopen? Since Orange County has yet to meet its first week under the Orange tier threshold, it will be a minimum of two weeks from this writing before they could even potentially advance to the Orange tier. And from there, it will be a minimum of two MORE weeks before they could even potentially advance to the Yellow tier. Downtown Disney Signage Once the Yellow Tier is achieved, Disneyland could announce reopening plans. But Disneyland cannot flip a switch and reopen overnight. It will most likely take a couple of weeks at least to call Cast Members back and prepare the parks for reopening. That totals approximately six to seven weeks MINIMUM (in a perfect world where cases are constantly dwindling and Orange County is actually able to advance tiers) between when Orange County starts to meet the threshold of advancing to the Orange “Moderate tier” and when guests can re-enter Disneyland for the first time since March 13, 2020. Disney California Adventure Exit Gate If we were to say Orange County moved full steam ahead into the Orange and subsequent Yellow tiers starting from the day theme park guidelines were released (October 20th), that would result in an ESTIMATED target reopening for Disneyland at early to mid-December at the absolute EARLIEST. But again, this is in a world where Orange County’s cases allowed them to advance, which hasn’t been the case at all. Click here to read more about California’s theme park reopening guidelines. Is that a realistic timeline? In all likelihood, it will take longer for Disneyland to reopen. Many leaders have criticized the state’s reopening guidelines, pointing out that the Yellow tier is an almost impossible metric to achieve without a vaccine. Disneyland Resort When it comes to a vaccine becoming readily available and what it could mean for life to return to “normal,” California Governor Newsom noted that we may not reach that point until sometime next year. In a recent news conference, Newsom stressed that, in terms of when the state can expect normalcy, “the sober reality is, and this is the sober reality, the expectation should not, cannot, be this calendar year. For the overwhelming majority of us to get to where we need to go as a nation, as a state, that will not happen until 2021.” ©California Governor Gavin Newsom Dr. Clayton Chau, Director, Orange County Health Care Agency, echoed the sentiment that it could be several more months before the county reaches the Yellow tier. He said in a recent statement, “Personally, I think that we can look forward to a yellow tier by next summer, hopefully.” Disneyland Park — Health and Safety Reminders A summer 2021 opening would depend on “when the vaccine will come as well as how many doses [are] available for our populations as well as how many of our residents will readily accept the vaccine.” It’s also important to keep in mind that the state’s reopening tiers blueprint is not a one-way street, but rather a sliding scale that is capable of moving in both directions. Let’s really look at what is being said there: the Director of the Orange County Health Care Agency basically said Disneyland likely won’t reopen until NEXT SUMMER at this rate. That would mean OVER a year of the gates being locked to guests. That’s some heavy stuff. Click here to read more about Dr. Chau’s remarks about theme parks not being able to reopen until summer 2021. What happens if cases REALLY start to rise? While the state of California has seen a drastic decrease in the amount of cases, that does not promise that the virus can’t rebound (as we’re already starting to see in some states). As the country heads into its normal flu season and the cooler temperatures move more individuals indoors for activities, many experts worry that positive cases will once again rise. Disneyland Social Distancing Signs Looking at California state-wide, cases are not rising per se, but data from the state’s COVID website suggests that there has been a plateauing. Cases in the state had been declining steadily since they peaked in July, but starting around mid-September, the average of total positive cases has hovered around 3,500-4,000 new cases per day. Daily positive cases in California since April 1st Souce: covid19.ca.gov If cases start to rise in a specific county, it is possible for that county to move BACKWARDS in the reopening tiers. This has already happened to several counties in the state, although, as of this writing, Orange County has yet to move backward. And once a county moves back into a more restrictive tier, the whole process would essentially “start all over” with needed to produce those two weeks of consecutive data to advance in the tiers once again, adding more time to how long folks have to wait to re-enter Disneyland. Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Once Orange County reaches the Yellow tier, it is still possible for the county to move backward to the Orange tier and beyond if cases continue to rise. California Health Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly pointed out in a recent news conference that if that happens, it could potentially trigger businesses that were allowed to open under the Yellow tier (like theme parks) to re-close. Disney California Adventure Park Likewise, it’s possible now for Orange County to move backward to the Purple “Widespread” tier before they move to the Orange “Moderate” tier if cases rise high enough. At this time, however, there’s no indication that the county is moving in that direction. Click here to read the President of Disneyland’s statement in response to California’s reopening guidelines. As Governor Newsom has repeated several times during his news conferences, the guidelines in an of themselves don’t mean “go.” The “slow and stringent” approach to reopening seems to really be in practice when it comes to the theme park industry, especially in California, and no matter when Disneyland opens, its closure will have been much longer than anyone could have imagined. Disneyland Main Entrance shortly after the closure began in March 2020 In short, it is hard to say at this time when Disneyland will reopen, and even health experts are skeptical about what a realistic projection is. It’s strange to be in a world where Walt Disney World is open and welcoming guests each day yet the original theme park, Disneyland, remains shuttered. Since the guidelines are very much set by each state, businesses are at the mercy of what their representatives deem safe and necessary for its residents. California, it seems, is proceeding EXTRA-cautiously. Since all eyes will be on when Orange County enters the Yellow tier, it’s totally in the realm of possibility that a vaccine will need to be readily available for some time before the gates of Disneyland are open once more. Either way, it seems unless the state changes their rules, we’ll all be waiting quite a while. As always, we will continue to keep a close eye on all of the news coming out of Disneyland and the state of California, and we will keep YOU up-to-date with all the latest information!

Yesterday, California’s theme park reopening guidelines were announced, revealing that the Disneyland Resort theme parks, and all other “larger” theme parks in California, cannot reopen until the county in which they are located reaches the “minimal” tier under the State’s reopening plans. Disneyland Social Distancing Signs Disneyland’s President has already noted that the guidelines will keep the park closed “for the foreseeable future,” and others have called the guidelines a “keep theme parks closed indefinitely plan.” But, it seems some California theme parks won’t simply be settling for these guidelines. Instead, some are now considering pursuing legal action. According to CNBC, some California theme parks are “exploring legal action in order to pressure the state into allowing amusement parks to reopen.” During a recent press conference, when Erin Guerrero, the executive director of the California Attractions and Parks Association — of which Disneyland Resort is a member — said “all options are open at this point.” Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Also present at the press conference were executives from Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Legoland, and Knott’s Berry Farm. Karen Irwin, President and Chief Operating Officer if Universal Studios Hollywood said, in a statement, “pushing us into Tier Four behind other businesses that have already reopened makes no sense…It ignores science, reason and the economic devastation this will bring to the thousands of our employees, the indirect business that rely on us and our industry overall.” Disney California Adventure Park The President of Disneyland Resort has also noted that Disney has proven they can responsibly reopen, but “California continues to ignore this fact, instead mandating arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold us to a starboard vastly different from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities.” Click here to see read more of the Disneyland’s President’s response to the guidelines. According to Variety, Kurt Stocks, president of Legoland California Resort, has noted that the theme park reopening guidelines are inconsistent with those for zoos, museums, and aquariums. Stocks says theme parks “want the administration to treat us the same as industries of a similar nature.” Disney California Adventure Park Others, like Dr. Ravin Kullar, a Los Angeles-based infectious disease specialist, however, regard California’s guidelines as “wise.” Kullar has noted that “Theme parks…can be a playground for the virus.” Disneyland Ticket Booth The California theme parks would not be the first group of businesses to potentially seek legal action regarding reopening guidelines. According to Deadline, major movie theaters in New Jersey filed a federal lawsuit against the state regarding its decision to “hold back on reopening multiplexes due to lingering concerns about COVID-19.” The lawsuit was ultimately withdrawn after the New Jersey Governor “allowed the venues to reopen with limited capacity.” Disneyland Health and Safety Reminders Currently, the Disneyland Resort theme parks are the only Disney theme parks around the world that have yet to reopen. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates regarding any potential legal action regarding the guidelines or further news about Disneyland’s eventual reopening.

Yesterday, the state of California released the long-awaited theme park reopening guidelines, which signaled what could be a longer than anticipated wait before guests can visit the Disneyland Resort once again. Smoke Above Disneyland Now, we’re learning about another prominent institution with the Disney name in Southern California that is further delaying when its doors can open once again, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Los Angeles Philharmonic, one of the largest non-profit performance groups in the state, announced that they will be canceling all upcoming events at their resident venue, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, through June 9th, 2021. The concert hall is located in Downtown Los Angeles, approximately thirty miles from Disneyland. Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Since the Walt Disney Concert Hall is located in Los Angeles County, they will be under a different reopening timeline than Disneyland, which is located in Orange County. As of this writing, Los Angeles County is still in the Purple “Widespread” tier, and Orange County is in the Red “Substantial” Tier. Source: State of California The state of California has yet to release guidelines that pertain to large performing arts venues, which could be one of the last industries to fully reopen nationwide. The Walt Disney Concert Hall seats 2,265 patrons would likely need to reduce that capacity considerably to accommodate for social distancing. In the meantime, the L.A. Philharmonic will look to digital programming to engage with their audiences during the prolonged closure. Metrics needed for California counties to advance through the reopening tiers. Source: covid19.ca.gov The extended closure of the Walt Disney Concert Hall points to remarks made by California Governor Gavin Newsom earlier this week, where he stressed how the expectation of things to return to normal “should not, cannot, be this calendar year. For the overwhelming majority of us to get to where we need to go as a nation, as a state, that will not happen until 2021.” ©California Governor Gavin Newsom We will continue to be on the lookout for news coming out of Disneyland and California as the state continues its “slow and stringent” reopening.

When it comes to iconic Disney Parks entertainment, the Dapper Dans are IT! And for Halloween, they transform into the Cadaver Dans to perform many of our favorite spooky tunes! Cadaver Dans! We were so excited to see the Dapper Dans back in the parks as the Cadaver Dans recently, but you don’t even have to go to Disney World to hear them sing! You can catch a LIVE performance of the Cadaver Dans TONIGHT, October 21st, on the Disney Parks Blog at 5PM EST. They’ll be singing some of their most horrifyingly wonderful numbers for fans! To promote the performance, the Cadaver Dans took to TikTok for a little tease. There’s no stopping this a cappella group. They’ve continued to keep us entertained throughout the year with the #VoicesFromHome performances, and we’ve enjoyed every one, including their rendition of “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” and “Grim Grinning Ghosts” (of course!).
