Disneyland Resort is starting to reopen. Today they began their phased reopening with Downtown Disney. According to news sources, fans lined up over night to be the first ones into the Downtown Disney Area.
Keep in mind there are some operational changes being implemented like they had done when they reopened Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.
Temperature checks, physical distancing guidelines, enhanced cleaning, masks and more are being made mandatory. You can learn more about what to expect on your next visit, at Disneyland.com/DTD.
You can also find one of the Guest Experience Team members, that are located throughout the area, to ask questions about the new guidelines.
We previously posted a list of what shops and restaurants will be open. You can find that HERE.
If you go out to Twitter you can find people sharing images of the reopened area:
Many are pointing out it might not be worth the effort though.
Lots of signs and distancing markers before the temperature check to enter in to the esplanade and Downtown Disney. This is located in the Toy Story lot bus lanes. #disneyland pic.twitter.com/3oSdxVT4o5
