PHOTOS: Disneyland Paris to reopen amid masks and social distancing

Updated On Jul 10, 2020 12:50 pm IST

With masks mandatory and advance booking required, Disneyland Paris will gradually reopen from July 15 after a four-month closure due to the coronavirus crisis. Like other major Paris attractions, Europe’s most visited theme park will limit capacity and impose a minimum distance of one metre between visitors to prevent infection risk. Disney declined to say by how much capacity will be reduced but said that in order to have control over the number of visitors, no tickets will be sold at the entrance and rides where social distancing is difficult will not yet reopen. Playgrounds and make-up workshops will remain closed for now and in order to make sure that people are not seated next to strangers. Disney staff and visitors over 11 will have to wear a face mask, but unlike in one theme park in Japan, visitors can scream their hearts out on roller coasters.
