Shanghai Disneyland park to reopen on May 11

Shanghai Disneyland theme park will reopen to the public on May 11, Shanghai Disney Resort announced today.

During the initial phase, the park will operate with limited attendance, require advanced ticketing and reservations, and accommodate social distancing in queues, restaurants, ride vehicles and other facilities throughout the park. Also, it will increase frequency of sanitization and disinfection.

Tickets will be sold via the resort’s official online channels and official travel partners beginning at 8am May 8, with a limited number available each day during the initial reopening.

The majority of Shanghai Disneyland’s attractions, rides, some shows and shopping and dining locations will resume operations on May 11, with controlled attendance.

Some interactive attractions and experiences, such as children's play areas, and theater shows will remain closed. Parades and nighttime spectaculars will also return at a later date.

But a special Disney character procession, Mickey and Friends Express, will take place several times daily, and the Enchanted Storybook Castle will come to life with light and music at dusk each day with Evening Magical Moments.

Beloved Disney characters will appear in the park in a new way, as they make appearances in each of the themed lands, greeting and welcoming everyone back to Shanghai Disneyland. Close interaction and close-up photos with characters will be suspended.

Guests can check the availability of attractions and entertainment through the resort’s official website and app.

The frequency of sanitization measures will be increased in order to augment the standards of cleanliness already in place throughout the park, and hand sanitizers will be available at attractions, restaurants and stores.
