Disneyland sets reopening date

CNN  

New York CNN Business — It’s been a long year for Disneyland fans, but “The Happiest Place On Earth” is finally set to reopen its doors. “It’s the final sign that things are getting back to normal for the Disney company,” Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com, told CNN Business of the reopening. “Having Walt Disney’s original park closed, even with the others being open, was still a reminder that something was amiss.” Though Disney World and other Disney parks have been able to reopen, the months of closures led to big layoffs with the company shedding more than 32,000 employees. The resort’s other hotels, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel, will “reopen at a later date.”
