Disneyland Paris will reopen next month with a series of new health and safety measures.
The resort said it will begin a “phased reopening” on July 15 with its two parks as well as Newport Bay Club Hotel and Disney Village.
It has been closed since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
We’re pleased to announce that we will begin a phased reopening of the resort starting with the Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney’s Newport Bay Club Hotel and Disney Village as of 15th July 2020.

Among the changes which will be implemented once it reopens include the mandatory wearing of face coverings for visitors aged 11 and older “at all times except when eating”.
There will be no meet and greets with characters, some seats will be kept empty on roller coasters to enable social distancing, and more than 2,000 hand sanitiser and hand-washing stations will be available.
Disneyland Paris president Natacha Rafalski wrote in a blog: “The last several months have tested us and our community – both personally and professionally – but together we have persevered with optimism and determination.
“As we are taking a phased approach, some experiences will change and others will return at a later date, but the magic that our cast is world-renowned for will remain.
“We know it will take all of us working together, both cast members and guests, in this shared responsibility to promote a healthy and safe environment.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
