California Governor: “Progress is Being Made” On Disneyland Reopening

    It’s the $8.5 billion question: When will Disneyland reopen?

    According to Visit Anaheim, Disneyland has an $8.5 billion impact on the Southern California economy…when it’s open. The theme parks have been shuttered since mid-March and while Walt Disney World is chugging along with its phased reopening, Disneyland officials are waiting for the state of California to allow them to swing their gates open.

    According to our own sources, Disneyland has been internally targeting a September 28th opening date, but is still waiting for the official go-ahead from the state. Disney Parks Chairman, and former Disneyland President, Josh D’Amaro has stated that they are “ready to go” and have been since their previously announced July 17th reopening date.

    In a press conference today, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that “progress is still being made” to come up with an opening date for Disneyland and other shuttered California theme parks. Newsom said that the state is still “working on some details” and that they will make an announcement as soon as they are able to. It’s possible that the final details will be ironed out later this week.

    Disneyland has recently announced construction progress on Avengers Campus and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, two of the larger projects taking place within the theme parks.
