Disney will increase Shanghai park attendance by 5,000 per week, CEO Bob Chapek says

plans to increase capacity at its Shanghai park by 5,000 people each week until it reaches the limited capacity figure set by Chinese government, CEO Bob Chapek told CNBC on Monday.

"I look at this as a stair step. We're going to be very conservative, we're going to be very prudent, we're going to be very disciplined about how we open up," Chapek told CNBC'sDisney reopened its Shanghai theme park Monday after being closed for 15 weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic. It's the first major theme park to reopen.

The government has mandated Disney operate the park at 30% capacity, or about 24,000 visitors, though Chapek said the company is operating well below that capacity. By the time Disney reaches 30% capacity, the government could increase its limit and Disney could continue slowly increasing attendance, Chapek added.If successful, the reopening could serve as a blueprint for the company as it looks to reopen its theme parks in the U.S. and Europe once governments lift restrictions.

Chapek added that part of parks successfully reopening hangs on guest behavior, who are asked to wear face coverings and adhere to social distance guidelines. So far, Chapek said guests in Shanghai have been "extraordinarily diligent" in maintaining social distancing. "If guests continue to behave in the way we have, I think we can approach [full capacity]," Chapek said.
