We ve seen the enthusiasm, the craving for people to return to our parks around the world, Chapek told CNBC s Julia Boorstin. We ve been operating at Walt Disney World for about nine months, and there certainly is no shortage of demand. 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.
Disney s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa will reopen April 29 with limited capacity ahead of the parks. The Vacation Club Villa at the Grand Californian will reopen on May 2, and Disney s Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel will reopen at a later date.

Disneyland will reopen its gates to the public on April 30, more than a year after its initial closure when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the USA. Magic is finally returning to the Disneyland Resort theme parks, Disney said in a blog post. Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park are planning to officially reopen to the public on April 30, with limited capacity.
Theme parks, including Disneyland, are allowed to open at 15% capacity while in the red tier, the second-highest risk level, but only California residents will be allowed to buy tickets.
Because capacity will be limited, Disneyland Resort will manage attendance numbers on a new theme park reservation system requiring all visitors to make a reservation for entry ahead of time, according to the post.
