Ha! Cats

I'm really surprised, I would think with 35% capacity it would feel empty!

More than a year after closing due to the pandemic, the theme parks at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim are scheduled to open April 30 with limited capacity and restrictions on some attractions.

Under the state guidelines, the parks will be limited to 15% of total capacity...(for now). Only in-state visitors will be allowed in the parks, a requirement that Disneyland and others will enforce by requiring that parkgoers submit a California address and ZIP code online when buying tickets.

Wow. 15% capacity. Can’t imagine that. Visitors are normally packed in like sardines in a can.

I visited Downtown Disney a week before Disneyland's reopening and It felt like the safest place I've been since the start of the pandemic

That's how I felt at WDW. I feel like DL should have been allowed to open months ago. They've proven at all their other parks that they've been taking precautions seriously.

32,000 people laid off.

That's not a big surprise. WDW was shut down for four months; DL for more than a year. Any company that has that significant a business disruption is going to have to lay off a chunk of their workforce.

Disneyland is back at full capacity. Photos show maskless crowds filling the park for the first time in over a year.

Tuesday marks the first day Disneyland has allowed out-of-state visitors to visit since the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020.

Videos show hordes of people lined up for blocks to get into Disneyland after it dropped its mask mandate

California this week allowed theme parks to reopen at full capacity as COVID-19 cases in the US continue to decline, and videos posted online show masses of maskless people lined up to get into Disneyland.

One user posted a video on Instagram showing people lined up along roads for several blocks, waiting for hours to get into Disneyland. The video was reposted several times on TikTok.

It can be a nightmare. Post Covid demand to get out and be entertained. At Disney Land even pre Covid there were times when you fought your way through LA area traffic only to find that all the parking lots were full and your day was ruined.
