Disneyland will likely stay closed for at least several more weeks -- and possibly months -- after California released its long-awaited guidance Tuesday for how theme parks in the state can safely reopen.

Disney's California parks, which have been closed for seven months, will be allowed to reopen at just 25% capacity, and only after the county where it's located reaches a lower level of Covid-19 cases — something that may take several weeks, if not months.

"We have proven that we can responsibly reopen, with science-based health and safety protocols strictly enforced at our theme park properties around the world," said Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort."Nevertheless, the State of California continues to ignore this fact, instead mandating arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold us to a standard vastly different from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities.

Edmund Velasco, president of the local American Federation of Musicians union, says lack of supplemental unemployment benefits is a partly behind the Disneyland union leaders' decision to support reopening. In March, Disneyland employees were receiving $600 in weekly unemployment benefits through the CARES Act stimulus bill, which expired at the end of July.

Reopening Walt Disney World was important to the company's bottom line."It's three times the size of Disneyland in terms of revenue," Michael Nathanson, a media analyst and founding partner at MoffettNathanson, previously told CNN Business.
