Disneyland criticizes California's reopening guidelines as 'unworkable'

Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood on Tuesday received stringent guidelines from the state for reopening after being shuttered most of the year due to the pandemic.

Smaller theme parks will not have as difficult a path to reopen since they are mostly outdoors and draw crowds mainly from nearby, Ghaly noted. Therefore, they can open once the respective county is in the Orange tier."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.

A spokeswoman for UFCW 324, one of Disneyland's multiple unions, said in a statement,"We are disappointed that in theme parks where unions have negotiated strict safety protocols are not able to open in Orange, while amusement parks where employees have no representation or negotiated protections will be permitted to open in orange tier."
