When will Disneyland Paris reopen? Date Disney theme Parks will open and what to do if you have holidays or tickets booked

Disneyland Paris is expected to reopen in mid-July with a number of new safety measures in place

The summer months are usually spent holidaying and enjoying fun-filled day trips, with many Brits packing into theme parks both at home and abroad.

While coronavirus has put a stop to many plans this year, the gradual easing of lockdown has given hope that some activities could soon be back on the cards.

If you were planning to take a trip to Disneyland this year, here’s the latest information on when parks could be reopened.

When will Disneyland Paris reopen?

Disneyland Paris will reopen to customers in less than a month, it has been announced.

The theme park closed its doors on 15 March 2020, in the midst of the increasingly serious coronavirus pandemic. Now, it has revealed that it will reopen again on Wednesday 15 July, exactly four months later.

The company's website says, "We are ready to bring you unforgettable and magical moments once again at Disneyland Paris, with enhanced health and safety measures for your peace of mind."

However, Disney has stressed that this is a "phased reopening", suggesting that things will not go back to normal overnight at the resort.

Are any Disneyland parks open?

Shanghai Disney Resort has already reopened to visitors, with a limited number of advanced tickets being sold each day, while Walt Disney World theme parks in Florida will start reopening from 11 July.

As with Disneyland Paris, there are currently no set reopening dates for Disneyland California, Tokyo Disney Resort, or Hong Kong Disneyland.

These parks are expected to stay closed until at least 14 July.

When Disney resorts do reopen, they will all be subject to limited capacity and strict social distancing measures in place.

In Shanghai, only 30 per cent of full capacity is allowed, with the park only admitting people with a green QR code that uses mobile phone data to confirm they haven’t been near someone who is suspected of coronavirus infection.

All guests are also required to wear masks during their visit, families must stand three metres apart in queues for concession stands and rides, and every other row is left empty in performance venues.

However, each Disney resort will have its own rules that will be informed by local government restrictions, and it is likely that some attractions may remain closed.

What happens if my trip is cancelled?

With Disneyland Paris not due to reopen until 15 July, customers who have had to cancel their trip will be offered the option of a full refund, or a voucher to the value of their original booking.

This can be used for another holiday at a later date, within an 18-month time frame.

If you have park tickets that have not been used and will expire while Disneyland Paris is closed, their expiry date will automatically be extended to 31 March 2021.
