Hong Kong Disneyland Reopening
After being closed for several months, Hong Kong Disneyland is excited to welcome guests back to their theme park and resorts. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort hotels are currently open to guests and accepting reservations. The park is scheduled to open on June 18th. Below is a list of updated health and safety guidelines that guests, and Cast Members will be required to follow during their visit.
Guidelines, Restrictions, and Safety Measures
While it’s exciting to know that Disney attractions and delicious Mickey shaped foods are things guests will be experiencing later this year, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort reopening plan comes with new health and safety guidelines designed to protect all guests and Cast Members. From face coverings and temperature checks, to elevated cleaning standards, there are several new measures guests can expect to encounter on their next visit to Hong Kong Disneyland.
During this initial reopening phase, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will implement measures and procedures that comply with government regulations and focus on the needs of guests and cast members. These will include social distancing with capacity control and enhanced health and safety measures across various experiences, from queues and dining to entertainment.
Given the constantly changing global health environment, these practices may evolve as we consider the latest guidance. We all have an important role to play in promoting health and safety. As we do our part, we also ask our guests to do theirs:
- Prior to entering the park, guests will have their temperature checked. Anyone with a temperature at 37.5°C (99.5°F) or above may not enter.
- Face masks are required inside the park for all guests and Cast Members.
- Hand sanitizing stations have been added throughout the park and guests are encouraged to wash their hands frequently.
In addition to face coverings and temperature checks, guests can expect the following when they visit Hong Kong Disneyland
- Managed and reduced daily park attendance
- Custodial teams have increased the frequency of cleaning of high-touch surfaces.
- Queues have social distance markers to keep parties separated.
- Attraction vehicles have modified seating to keep distance between groups of Guests.
- Restaurants will have reduced seating capacity with some tables blocked to provide more space between tables.
- The park will only accept contactless payment methods (ApplePay, GooglePay, NFC Credit Card), with mobile payments encouraged.
