The closure of Disneyland and California Adventure hit the company's bottom line hard, forcing the entertainment giant to <a href="https://dot.la/disney-laysoff-28-000-at-u-s-theme-parks-2647861392.html?q=disneyland" target="_self">layoff thousands of workers</a> as Disney <a data-linked-post="2650849621" href="https://dot.la/disney-plus-2650849621.html" target="_blank">sunk its resources into streaming services</a>. </p><p>"I think as people become vaccinated, they become a little bit more confident in the fact that they can travel, and, you know, stay COVID-free," he added. "Consumers trust Disney to do the right thing, and we've certainly proven that we can [open] responsibly, whether it's temperature checks, masks, social distancing [or] improved hygiene around the parks."</p><p>Disney said that experiences that draw large group gatherings — think parades and firework displays — will return at a later date. </p><p>To enter the park, guests aged 3 and up will show a park reservation and valid admission for the same park. For now, only California residents can visit the parks to adhere with current state guidelines. </p><p>Several of the surrounding Disney hotels will also open including the Grand Californian on April 29 and the Vacation Club Villas on May 2.</p><p>Here are the rides slated to open at Disneyland: </p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Pirates of the Caribbean</li><li>It's A Small World</li><li>Indian Jones Adventure</li><li>Space Mountain </li><li>Big Thunder Mountain Railroad</li><li>King Arthur Carrousel </li><li>"New magic" at Haunted Mansion </li><li>Peter Pan's Flight</li><li>Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance</li><li>Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run</li></ul><p>And at California Adventure: </p><ul class="ee-ul"></ul><ul class="ee-ul"></ul><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Toy Story Midway Mania</li><li>The Little Mermaid — Ariel's Undersea Adventure </li><li>The Incredicoaster</li><li>Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind</li><li>Radiator Springs Racers</li><li>Snow White's Enchanted Wish</li></ul>From Your Site Articles
