Anaheim’s Disneyland Parks Reopening on April 30
Disneyland in Anaheim, CA has announced that their two theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, will be reopening on April 30th on a limited basis. Following state guidelines, the parks will open at a 15% capacity and will only be accepting California residents, initially. While there has been no information regarding tickets and pricing, it has been announced that park attendance will be managed through a reservations system; similar to the system used at Walt Disney World. The parks are expected to open with many popular attractions, including the reimagined Snow White’s Enchanted Wish which will be available for guests for the first time. It was also noted that the all-new Marvel land, Avengers Campus, at Disney California Adventure will not be open during this phased reopening period. In addition to limited capacity, certain experiences that draw large crowds, such as parades and nighttime spectaculars, will not be available on opening day and will return at a later time. However, “new magic” will be created within health and safety guidelines.
Resort Reopening Dates (at the time of recording)
- Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa - April 29, with limited capacity
- The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa - May 2.
- Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel will reopen at a later date.

In addition to MagicBands, Walt Disney World will be releasing a new option, MagicMobile, which serves the same functions as the band but on your mobile device. Guests utilizing this service will be able to create a “Disney MagicMobile Pass” through the My Disney Experience app and add it to their device’s digital wallet. This roll-out will begin exclusively on Apple devices, such as an iPhone or Apple Watch, and then expand to other smart devices. For guests who do not want to use this service, MagicBands and Key to the World cards will still be available for use as before and, as of now, will not be adjusted.
