When will the Disneyland Parks reopen?

Disneyland has announced plans to reopen July 17, on the 65th anniversary of the resort. The phased reopening will begin with the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district on July 9, followed by both theme parks — Disneyland and California Adventure — on July 17 and then the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Paradise Pier Hotel on July 23.

Will face masks be required?

Face masks will be required.

Yes. Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members; temperature screenings are required in some locations.

What about the Fireworks, Parades, will any rides be closed?

Experiences such as shows, parades and fireworks, will be on hold for the foreseeable future. This is to ensure social distancing is maintained, as these are strong ‘pinch points’ for humans in close contact. Therefore, for safety, these will not be happening for the near future. All rides will be open, though promoting social distancing (so every second carriage, etc).

Will it still cost the full price?

Yes. There has been no indication from Disney that the price of a ticket to access the theme parks will be reduced. This means paying full price for your entrance ticket, despite a loss of amenities and experiences.
