Hong Kong Disneyland Gears Up for a Reopening with a Dash of Safety
After a brief pause due to a new wave of COVID cases, Hong Kong’s beloved Disneyland is rolling out the welcome mat again. The park is back from Friday, albeit with a few twists—smaller crowds, tighter health rules, and some days off.
What’s New for Visitors?
- Mask‑essentials: Everyone entering the park must sport a face mask.
- Limited open days: Initially, the park will be closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- No indoor performances: Live shows inside the venues have been put on hold for safety.
Why the Change?
Hong Kong eased its COVID restrictions recently, after testing nearly two million people. The latest results recorded 42 confirmed cases, prompting the authorities to tighten measures around high‑traffic areas like Disneyland.
Park Ownership and Previous Closure
Disneyland is largely owned by the Hong Kong government, with Walt Disney holding a small minority stake. In mid‑July, the park shut its gates for the second time this year, following the virus’s resurgence after it had reopened in June.
Grab your Disney‑deluxe mask, pack your snacks, and head over—just remember the two mid‑week shut‑downs and the pause on indoor shows. A bit of caution, a touch of wonder, and you’re set for another day at the happiest place on Earth—under modern safety conditions!
