Disneyland paris opened

Disney CEO Bob Chapek anticipates Disneyland and other parks in 2022 may be mask free and without onerous social distancing for a Covid free, vaccinated populace. Theme parks have been hardest hit among Disney’s businesses. At a conference call to talk over the media giant’s latest earnings, execs said flagship Disneyland and Disneyland Paris likely will not open during the current quarter that ends in March, although Hong Kong Disneyland might. Neither Chapek or CFO Christine McCarthy hazarded a guess on a Disneyland opening date. Asked, instead, when he thinks parks return to normal, Chapek said he’s looking at 2022. “We have no doubt that when we reopen up in parks that were closed, or increase capacity, that that we will have some level of social distancing and mask wearing for the remainder of this year. That is our expectation.” Related Story Disney FYQ1 Beats Street Despite $2.6B Parks Hit; Anticipates Another $1B In Covid Costs For Full Year But, … [Read more...] about Disney CEO Bob Chapek Sees Mask-Free Theme Parks In 2022; Disneyland Unlikely To Open This Quarter, But Hong Kong Might
