For the first time in its 65-year history, Disneyland announced it would close its gates for an entire month. Due to the spread of COVID-19, the iconic California theme park shut down on March 12, 2020 -- and has remained closed. So when will the parks reopen, and why haven't they while Disney's other global theme parks, including Walt Disney World on the opposite coast of the US, have?
Instead of a theme park, Disneyland Resort has now become a mass coronavirus vaccine site. The Toy Story parking lot began serving up coronavirus vaccinations on Jan. 14 after Orange County announced its first point-of-dispensing supersite (or "Super POD") on Jan. 11. Disneyland Resort had "stepped up" to host mass vaccine distribution and would be "absolutely critical in stopping this deadly virus," the county said.
For now, only people in Phase 1A are permitted access to the vaccine, a group that includes health care workers, law enforcement first responders in high-risk areas and those aged 65 and older. They'll be able to book a Disneyland vaccination appointment through a new app developed with Orange County.
