[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Disneyland near Los Angeles (LA), California, USA, which had been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will reopen after more than a year. However, it will operate in a "limited capacity," offering entertainment without running rides, while selling food, beverages, and souvenirs.

Ken Potrock, President of Disneyland Resort, announced in a letter to employees on the 20th anniversary of LA Disneyland's opening on the 8th (local time) that "a temporary paid reopening is planned for mid-next month," according to reports from The Washington Post and Forbes.

This move follows the recent lifting of the stay-at-home order by the California state government. LA Disneyland has been closed since March 14 of last year in accordance with state quarantine guidelines.

The reopening Disneyland will operate on a limited basis, opening only on certain days of the week and accommodating a limited number of visitors. Potrock said, as reported by CNN, "It will look different from a typical amusement park."

As a result of this decision, about 1,000 workers who were laid off or temporarily furloughed will regain their jobs. According to the local daily Orange County Register, currently, 230 employees are working at LA Disneyland.
