Orange County Falls Back to Purple “Widespread” COVID-19 Tier, Major Setback for Disneyland Reopening

    According to an update to the state of California COVID-19 dashboard, Orange County California has slipped back to the Purple “Widespread” color tier in the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

    As a reminder, Orange County needs to get to the yellow “minimal” tier for Disneyland to reopen its gates.

    The move to the purple tier comes after California Governor Gavin Newsom said that a county will move back in tier color after one week of bad data as opposed to two weeks of poor numbers.

    Obviously Disneyland is a long way from opening, but what does this mean for currently operating businesses and locations in Downtown Disney? Here’s a rundown:

    • Bars (where no meals provided) – Closed
    • Clothing and shoe stores – 25% capacity
    • Hotels and lodging – can open with modifications
    • Jewelry stores – 25% capacity
    • Restaurants (dine-in) – Can open outdoors only with modifications
    • Restaurants (take-out and delivery) – can open with modifications
    • Retailers – 25% capacity
    • Theme parks – Closed
