Is this park currently closed?

Yes, DLP closed for the second time in late October.

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.

We got teased by Bob for a reopening date being announced 'very soon'. Rare for DLP to get a mention in an earnings call... I think I prefer it when Bob forgets we exist.

One more meeting to go through Monday then they can announce it.
I took PTO for 25/06, hopefully my sources are right and the meeting goes well

Reopening planned June 17

 

[fradz]

Heh, close. But that means I'm going on the June 25

Hotel New York with a bit of IP opens June 21

 

[cjkeating]

Hmmm... I actually have Annual Pass reservations for the opening Thursday-Sunday... now how many hoops do I have to jump through to get there and back...

So pleased! Now I just need the UK govt to Green List france (or setup a straight Eurostar travel corridor to DLP )

Looking forward to HNY being open again, its location makes all the difference at night

I'd be slightly worried about the lack of restaurants opening, I get there is lower capacity but with social distancing and DLP not really being super efficient with the quick service...

Same for the green list but I may be able to work around an amber trip...

Regarding restaurants from what I have seen they are opening the same as during the previous reopening so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just avoid 1200-1400 at a counter service like I would recommend at any theme park.

 

[marni1971]

I wouldn’t call it a “lack” of restaurants. it’s the same as September was and it wasn’t an issue (albeit that was quiet) but hopefully the rest will follow quickly.

 

[LondonTom]

True two of them are usually shut anyway

 

[wdrive]

Soft opening for annual passes 15th and 16th June.

The amount of work done during closure is still to be commended.

Indeed.

It has been very nice to see the amount of care and attention that DLP has received in recent years. I don't know if it has to do with the local management, but they at least give the impression that they are taking great pride in restoring the resort and looking after all the details. You only have to look at the treatment the castle in Paris has received versus the salmon castle in Florida!

Paris‘ PR is so.... mature... compared to elsewhere

I've been really impressed with some of their PR in the run up to the reopening.

Wish the U.S. Disney Parks was like this.
