Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

Ummmm. Yes.
My guess would be No. When WDW reopened they were using all the capacity in the ride ques they could, just like DL is doing now. A few weeks later it was down to one line per attraction.
Or center a cord - for instance, a shoestring - on the back of your neck, then bring each end up through an ear loop and tie at the back of your head. Spreads the pressure.

Just caught this gem from MiceChat:
“Disneyland reopened Friday with a notable change on Main Street, U.S.A. that was easy one to miss in the bliss-fueled, heatwave-addled haze of returning to Disneyland after more than a year away. Main Street’s music loop has been updated to change from the standard background loop during the morning to a playlist of upbeat instrumental Disney songs as the park transitions toward closing hours.
The park’s last overhaul of its Main Street, U.S.A. music loop took place in early 2012 when the the loop was rearranged and re-recorded, retaining long-time favorites such as “Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis,” “In the Good Old Summer Time,” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band.” At the time, Disney was met with controversy for including a recording of “Married Life” from Pixar’s “Up.” That controversy quickly passed when fans discovered the period-appropriate arrangement of the song fit in seamlessly with the rest of the turn-of-the-century tunes.
This new change, however, is a far cry from simply adding in one contemporary piece to the mix. Indeed, transitioning the background audio midday to a playlist exclusively comprised of instrumental Disney songs is a significant change that simply isn’t necessary or thematically appropriate. Disney has used playlists of Disney songs and other music on Main Street in the past but typically only for special events, New Year’s Eve parties, and Grad Nite events. This change to everyday park operation is definitely not the same as changing the music for special events. If Disneyland is about escapism into worlds real and imagined then Main Street, U.S.A., inspired by Walt Disney’s boyhood home of Marceline, Missouri, should reflect that — including with period-appropriate music. Hopefully Disney changes this so the Main Street music loop returns to all-day use. Save “Under the Sea” and “When You Wish Upon a Star” for the parade floats.
Below, a partial list of the new Disney song playlist:

Here we go. First step in the long process of turning Main Street into Mickey Avenue.
I can’t keep up with these morons anymore.

I kind of really hope this was an opening day only thing… or a mistake … I love the music on Main Street, it really sets the mood.
I can accept this if they record all the tracks in the style or Main Street.

I remember before joining WDWMagic in the Summer of 2015, I was originally a member of Disboards. However, I notified that the board was mostly positive and rarely made any criticisms. As a result, I also jumped ship from Disboards to this site which was a smart move in hindsight. Especially since this site has a lot of informative and longtime fans of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the other Disney Parks and is more professional. Sure I might have some disagreements with some members, but at least it's not as alienating as Disboards.

DISBoards has crazy rules. I get threatened over every other post for not following some arcane rule. Gross. “Like I always say, your majesty, ‘children have got to be free to lead their own lives.’”

Glad I didn't know about their crazy rules until now. Then again, I was mostly quite and made some posts back then. I like positivity, but Disboard was a different story. Don't hate that site, but I strongly prefer this site since it feels genuinely like a community.

I think USH has already increased capacity to 35%, if not more.
Yesterday, a Monday, the wait times were 1+ Hours, and Jurassic World had a 2 Hour wait. That's on a Monday in the 1st week of May, with supposedly limited capacity.

Thank Goodness. I need that capacity to still be low for my trip in 2.5 weeks

While I was reluctant, I can tell you that it was worth it. We did 20 rides in 9ish hours without rushing since the lines were short (waited no more than 25-30 minutes max).
Just be sure to pack lots of sunscreen and stay hydrated since you will be spending that time waiting outdoors. Even the shaded outdoor queues poured into the walkways with social distancing.
