It seems as though Disney, like many other companies, are going to have a rough time ahead of them due to the spike in coronavirus cases. For them, they have been losing a lot of money due to their parks being closed and not having their parks opened up stateside is still hurting them. They had planned on opening up both Disney World and Disneyland in California by the middle of July, but it seems that this will not be the case moving forward. They tried taking every precaution they could in order to be able to reopen the parks, but it seems like that will simply not be enough of a difference. Thus, it appears Disneyland will not be able to open when they originally said it was going to.

Disneyland in California is a very frequented amusement park that sees a countless number of guests walking through the gates on a regular basis. Normally this is considered a good thing but now, with the amount of people who are still getting sick and the number of cases rising instead of falling like people hoped for is causing concern for the public. The park was originally meant to reopen its gates to the public on July 17th pending approval by the state government. There was talk when they first made the announcement that there would be too much risk in reopening the park this early with so much going on and that worry seems to now have a basis.

In order to combat the rate at which the virus is spreading, parks were shut down, and now that businesses are reopening, there was hope amusement parks would open again as well. However, due to a number of different reasons people accelerated the spread of the virus causing a spike in cases that is keeping that from happening. The reopening of the park is going to be put on hold just like most other things in the state of California right now because there is no telling how dangerous it could be to open up the park again. Governor Gavin Newsom had no choice but to implement additional safety procedures after the recent spike in cases. This included the approval of the park being denied by the state government until further notice.

Although Disneyland in California will remain closed longer than anticipated, the government and Disney are staying in constant contact. So as soon as the state will allow them to reopen, they will make the announcement as to exactly when they will do so. All of this is coming after they had just announced the reopening date and the measures they were taking to try and keep people safe. One of the biggest ways that they planned on doing this was with the park pass system which would limit the amount of people allowed in the park at one time. Hopefully the number of cases doesn’t rise exponentially over the next couple of weeks, but if it does, then it will be a long time off before they are able to reopen to the public.
