Second closure for Disneyland Paris due to COVID-19

[wdrive]

Yes, as that article is referring to a calendar year, it backs up what I said. Disney's Q2 ends late March/early April. Obviously the closure could last until after then, but Chapek is referring to the financial, not calendar Q2.

You are correct, I don’t seem to know what I’m talking about
Time for a coffee I think

Europe really needs to get its act together in terms of vaccinations...

Yeah. I think it is going to be a long hard slog regarding vaccinations on mainland Europe unfortunately. At least my Annual Pass is going to get extended again.

French government announced a lot of facilities (cinemas, restaurants, etc...) to reopen on the 19th of May.
No official word yet for theme parks I believe. For Disneyland Paris, word on the street at the moment is mid-June (which would also be what DLP wishes).

They will be meeting as of tomorrow with the Government to start discussing the details (I think also the possible dates) for the re-opening of the resort

It's been a week now! How did the meeting with the government go? Any reopening news?

Not any news regarding DLP specifically but theme parks in France are able to open from May 19th with no attractions, June 9th with a maximum of 5,000 people and mandatory health passes (either fully vaccinated or a recent negative test) over 1,000 visitors and June 30th with 100% capacity and a health pass.

What's the capacity of the parks usually?

Disneyland Park is 40k and WDSP *WAS* 28k but with so many rides closed, probably much less atm

19th of June, apparently.

I’d presume there’ll be an announcement somewhat soon if they’re planning for then?

[wdrive]

I smell a reopening date being announced soon.

I smell a reopening date being announced soon.

Maybe on the earnings call?

Maybe on the earnings call?

When is that?

 

[DCBaker]

When is that?

Happening now - here is the thread. There was no announcement for DLP so far.

Disney’s Q2 (Jan/Feb/Mar) FY 2021 Earnings Results Webcast on Thursday, May 13, 4:30ET.

I’m guessing it’ll be next week with today being a bank holiday in France.
