Last week, the state of California announced that theme parks can reopen in the red tier at limited capacity, effective April 1st. In response, Bob Chapek has shared more information regarding the long-awaited reopening of the Disneyland Resort.

While this means large parks like Disneyland could reopen as early as April 1st, Bob Chapek announced that they hope to reopen the Anaheim parks sometime in late April.

Chapek noted that it will take some time to call back over 10,000 Cast Members to work and retrain them in a way that meets California’s standards and requirements for reopening theme parks. Chapek commented that they hope to announce an exact reopening date in the coming weeks.
