California theme parks may be able to reopen as soon as April 1
Posted
California health officials set new rules on Friday that would allow Disneyland and other theme parks, stadiums and outdoor entertainment venues to reopen as early as April 1, after a closure of nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Friday’s announcement means theme parks in red-zoned counties could reopen at 15% capacity on April 1. The less restrictive orange and yellow tiers would allow reopenings at 25% and 35% capacity, respectively.

Disney has said they can't effectively make it worth it with anything less than 25%. Although, does the state have the authority to say what capacity is in the first place? Sure, local fire officials can say a room has a maximum occupancy, but what about an outdoor venue?

I have my first vaccine shot (by virtue of being a teacher) and will be vaccinated by April 1st. My wife will not. She says I can't go to Disneyland until she is vaccinated. I guess we had a good run.
In all seriousness, I wonder it the 25% thing was a negotiating tactic or was actually reflective of the bottom line.

What I find interesting is that theme parks are restricted to in state residents under the reopening guidelines. My wife and I were seriously considering extending the return leg of our Hawaii vacation in June / July to hit up Disney with such a low capacity. Clearly we have some pent up travel demand that we have to work through!
