Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

[Disney Irish]

That is the October 2020 version. I AM USING THE March 26, 2021 version.

Nope that is the updated one released on March 26th effective April 1st.

Yellow –Minimal –Tier 4

•Parks must limit visitors to a maximum of 35% capacity.
•Indoor capacity limited to a maximum of 25%
•Indoor dining limited to a maximum of 50% capacity

Subs, meet and greet locations and venues closed as well as reduced capacity on indoor seating attractions(Star Tours etc...)means it is really starting at that 15 percent capacity either way.

There is a difference between in-park capacity and specific attraction capacity. The in-park guest capacity is now 25% not 15% in the Orange Tier.

Haunted Mansion is going to have some nightmare capacity considering the fact that they can't bypass like Disney world does due to the elevator.

There is a side "exit" that can be used if they want to by-pass the Stretching Room. But suspect they'll just have social distancing markers on the floor and allow only a handful of guests in at a time.

HAHA, but before this gets people's hopes up, this is an April Fools Joke by another Disney Fan Site.

Imagine if they slowed down the buggies just because—with how few people are being sent down every cycle—they can. They won’t but they should.

 

[unmitigated disaster]

Now on to the important question: how will the reopening affect the Disneyland cats?

 

[ToTBellHop]

The only place it can go without crossing a walkway. Hopefully the construction isn't too loud.

I admittedly do not know DL well (only been twice and the last time was 16 years ago, which is why I really would like to take my family this summer—they’ve never been to California), but would there be a way for IJA to just use JC’s upstairs queue and JC use the downstairs? Please don’t laugh if that is impossible. The extent of my memory as a kid was, “that’s so cool that they built a 2-story queue!”

There already is! A second flight of stairs connects the end of the IJA exit path to the second level of the boathouse. On crazy days, the line will jump from the main switchbacks over the exit path, up to the boathouse, and then back again.

Then there you have it. I imagine DL, in particular, will have to use virtual queues. It’s crazy enough in Magic Kingdom and DL has about twice the rides.

I don't get it. An April Fool's joke is to get someone to believe something foolish so they look like a fool.

This is... not inconceivable. We know the Bobs want to change how APs work. And those prices are typical for a hike in prices.

Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Thats honestly my thought as well. I think the only way Disneyland can do it, with the space they have, is with virtual queues.

They should take notes from Universal Orlando—walk right onto rides early in the day and when lines reach a threshold, turn the VQ on.

Or maybe 1/2 and 1/2? Even at 25% capacity, all those people walking around the park is a lot no?

VQs typically still allow a line, but only what the queue can hold. For reasons unknown, WDW refused to use them such that queues snake throughout the parks, and you enter some queues at illogical locations.

Yeah, mouseinfo posted this on their twitter last night around 9pm PST which was technically April 1 for east coast folks. Their version did have a small note at the very bottom right of the graphic stating it was a joke.

indoor “virtual” queues are a No no right now though right? Not that that makes much of a difference for DL. Outside of Indy and Splash, most indoor queues are tiny.

I presume it would count toward the 15 min, which should not be a problem for Splash since so much of the start of the ride is outside. The Indy queue will need to be taken at a jog! They’ll keep triggering the ceiling spikes to get people moving.

Well no one said it was a GOOD April Fool's joke.
