Disney parks are some of the happiest places on earth – allowing family and friends to come together and immerse themselves in unforgettable experiences while discovering wonder and joy around every turn.

Today, we marked the return of that wonder and joy at Hong Kong Disneyland as we reopened our gates to once again welcome guests and fans.

Creating magic today means even more to us than ever before. This was especially apparent as thousands of talented and dedicated Hong Kong cast members came together to take great care in preparing the park for the return of our guests. As we reopened our park today, we reflected on the strength and resilience of our community, the perseverance of our cast members, the support from our guests and the unwavering commitment of our medical responders. To each of these groups – we thank you for your significant contributions that helped lead us to this special moment.

We were happy to welcome more than a hundred families from our neighborhood – Lantau Island to be among our first guests at our reopening today. Hong Kong Disneyland will continue working with different non-profit organizations to invite families to visit us, inspiring them with the magic of Disney’s positivity and optimism.

Today serves as an important step forward for Hong Kong Disneyland. We are excited not only about upcoming milestones for our park, but also for the rest of our Disney parks around the world.

During the past few months, it was inspiring to witness our cast members and fans continue to believe in the magic of Hong Kong Disneyland by allowing it to live on in their homes, hearts and imaginations. Now that we have begun our reopening, please continue to imagine all that is possible because there are so many new memories to be made. This is only the beginning.

We’re incredibly proud of our beautiful Castle of Magical Dreams as it enters its final stage of construction and magical transformation. The Castle will launch later this year and represents a shining beacon of courage, hope and possibility. I hope you find joy in these photos from day one of our reopening at Hong Kong Disneyland and I look forward to the opening of our other parks around the world!

Disney World Annual Passes Being Extended

Disney World Annual Passes Being Extended ap

Disney World annual passholders are starting to see that their expiration dates have been extended.

When the parks closed Disney said that “all active Walt Disney World Resort theme park and water park Annual Passes will be extended for the number of days the parks are closed. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s account prior to the reopening of the parks.”

Passholders are seeing an approximate 4-month extension to their annual pass. Even though the Disney World parks will begin reopening July 11, there’s no guarantee annual passholders will be able to get in.

Disney has said, “During the limited capacity period, it may be difficult for Annual Passholders to get park reservations to visit on certain dates. To help manage capacity, total reservation days held at one time will be limited.”

Passholders will get more days to use their passes but may have a difficult time getting park reservations.

Are you an annual passholder and has your expiration date been extended?

Universal Cinemark reopening on July 3rd Universal Cinemark

Good news for cinephiles visiting Universal Orlando Resort! The Universal Cinemark at CityWalk reopens to the public on July 3rd. The movie theater has been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but now it’s returning with new health and safety protocols for guests.

For starters, the movie theater is implementing reduced auditorium capacities and staggered showtimes to help protect guests in accordance with state guidelines. When you purchase movie tickets, the Universal Cinemark will now automatically block the seats adjacent to your party. In addition, they are staggering showtimes to allow more time for guests to exit and prevent overcrowding in our restrooms, halls and lobbies. Wearing a face mask inside the movie theater is currently optional unless state or federal guidelines change in the future. The theater also encourages visitors to purchase their tickets online to help advocate contactless ticketing.

The Cinemark employees are now wearing mandatory personal protective gear such as face masks and gloves. With wellness check-ins and new training for employees, the staff is prepared to help usher in the phased reopening of movie theaters. The staff is also taking extra steps to keep the concession stands and food service areas sanitized.

Lastly, the Universal Cinemark will be offering a selection of “Comeback Classics” to watch in theaters when the movie theater reopens at CityWalk. Click here for more information on what movies will be showing.
