Disneyland, California s world-famous theme park, reopened to excited visitors Friday after an unprecedented 13-month closure in what tourism officials hope is a sign of the state s rebound from the coronavirus pandemic.
The day began with Disney officials and park employees gathered in the park s town square for the morning flag-raising ceremony. Disney CEO Bob Chapek thanked the color guard for raising the flag every day during the 412-day closure and asked employees to bring the magic back for visitors. Some visitors cheered as they entered.
