Well they can open whenever at this point and stay in line with state and city regulations. They have the protocol most likely in place already. That protocol also will include a reduction of capacity, so I don’t think it will be too over whelmed.I've seen this date before and now I'm going to ask as I cannot imagine a worse day to reopen. Not just a question for Epicnemisis & amyg1975, but also for others who think this is going to be the date, what is your reasoning?
The re-opening day is going to be stressful for all employees. They have to be strict with the guests to make sure everyone follows protocol. Adding extra stress to celebrate the 65th anniversary, just doesn't make sense to me.
I can see Disneyland reopening before the 17th of July, to have some sort of rhythm in the new measures. So that on the 17th they can focus on some sort of small ceremony, and very low-key activities.
But I can also see them not opening till after the 17th and celebrate the anniversary at a later date in 2020 when the measures have eased (hopefully).
I could see them playing Walt’s opening speech at rope drop and I think the opportunity of those optics on the opening will be too great for the marketing department to ignore.
