What To Know For Disneyland’s Reopening
As we announced recently, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure plan to reopen on April 30th.
Disney will reopen the two theme parks with enhanced health and safety measures. They will also limit capacity through a theme park reservation system that requires all guests to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance. Similar to what is in effect currently at Walt Disney World. The theme park reservations will be available online, in advance only, for a specific date, subject to availability.
Disney has provided some key information to keep in mind for your future visits to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Parks.
Here’s some important information to help plan ahead:
Theme Park Reservations:
To enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, a theme park reservation and a valid admission ticket for the same park on the same date are required for guests ages 3 and up. Guests must have a valid theme park admission ticket in order to make a reservation. Theme park reservations will be limited and subject to availability and, until further notice. Only California residents may visit the parks, and in groups no larger than 3 households, in line with current state guidelines.
The theme park reservation system will launch on April 12, and guests with existing valid theme park tickets can begin making park reservations for the days that their ticket is valid. Theme park ticket sales will resume on April 15, and guests without park tickets may begin purchasing tickets and making park reservations. As a reminder, ticket expiration dates were extended for many outstanding tickets. To accommodate as many types of ticket holders as possible, park reservations for select dates may be made available on a rolling basis. Ticket calendars will be updated on a rolling basis. Check for updated availability.
Here are some key dates to remember:
April 9:
Guests who currently hold a theme park ticket can check available days for 1-day ticket type beginning April 9 on Disneyland.com/ParksUpdates.

Guests Staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa:
Guests with valid theme park admission tickets who are planning a stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will also need to book a theme park reservation. Your hotel stay does not guarantee a theme park reservation. It’s recommended that guests who plan to visit the theme parks during their stay should get their theme park reservation before making a hotel reservation.
Park Hopper Tickets:
Guests with Park Hopper tickets may choose, pending availability, which theme park to start their day when making their theme park reservations, and then will be able to visit the other park beginning at 1 p.m. that day. Guests with multi-day tickets will be required to make a separate park reservation for each day they plan to visit the theme parks.
Park Hours:
Upon reopening, daily park hours for Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park are currently planned to be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Visit Disneyland.com for operating hours on the day you wish to visit, as they are subject to change.
Parking:
Theme park parking will be available at the Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals parking structures, located off Disneyland Drive.
Dining:
For a contactless and cashless experience, our mobile order service — available exclusively on the Disneyland App — makes it easy to plan ahead, order, and pay for food and beverages at most quick-service restaurants inside the theme parks. In order to foster physical distancing during this time, we will plan to reopen dining bookings for select locations on April 22, with limited capacity. Guests will be able to book dining reservations 60 days in advance on Disneyland.com or with the Disneyland App, subject to availability.
