Think about a theme park. What do you see? What do you hear?
Odds are, you’ll probably hear the roar of the roller-coasters zipping by or you may see the thousands of people that surround you as you walk to your next ride.
To most, these sights and sounds would seem normal. We expect to hear loud noises and be stuck in crowds for most of the day and we think nothing of it. However, to some, this can be daunting and overwhelming, making for a less-than-perfect vacation.

When Disneyland reopens next month, alcohol will be served at the Blue Bayou restaurant which will give visitors another option to consume alcohol beverages in the park.
Until now, alcoholic beverage offerings were limited throughout the theme park. The only locations that offered them were Club 33 and Orga s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy s Edge. This announcement comes from Disney Parks Blog when they released a new revamped menu for the restaurant that is located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The new additions include beverages such as wine, beer and a new special Hurricane Cocktail.

Fans of the restaurant will have to wait a bit before trying the new drinks, however. The Blue Bayou will not be reopening on April 30 when Disneyland returns for the first time in over a year, ABC 7 reports.
Fox News previously reported that, amid the pandemic, the park will still be facing a number of restrictions when it reopens. For example, guest attendance will be limited to 15%. Visitors will also be required to make reservations for a specific date ahead of time.
California first announced its reopening guidelines for theme parks in early March, stipulating that operations would be able to commence as of April 1, provided the surrounding county falls within an acceptable tier for decreased case numbers, and those specific risk-mitigating criteria were met.
