Yesterday news broke that Orange County qualified to move to the Yellow Tier. This means that Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parks are able to raise their attendance capacities to 35% now that Orange County has moved into the least restrictive yellow tier of the state’s COVID-19 health and safety guidelines.
Impact
So what does this mean for Disneyland? More guests and more restaurant capacity. Disneyland and DCA can now increase daily attendance from 25% to 35% capacity. Restaurants are now able to seat and serve at 50% capacity indoors. Unfortunately, one thing that won’t change (for the time being) is ride capacity. The good news is that reservation days and opportunities have already opened up on the Disneyland Reservation Calendar (click here to read about the simplified ticket buying and reservation process).
Governor Gavin Newsom has stated that California is on track to fully reopen its economy on June 15, which will get rid of the current color-coded tier system. California is also waiting until June 15 to adopt the CDC’s most recent guidelines allowing fully vaccinated individuals to stop wearing face masks.
What about out-of-state guests?
Out-of-state guests are actually allowed if they have proof of vaccination (under the recently updated rules), but Disneyland has not changed their rules yet. For the time being, Disneyland is still only open for residents of California. If and when this changes we will let you know.
