It’s all in the tagline, really. Spend a day — or more — walking around Disneyland, aka “The Happiest Place on Earth.” You’ll meet your favorite characters, watch parades, eat delicious foods and appreciate Disney’s meticulous attention to detail everywhere in the theme park, from the rides to the trash cans. Disneyland, located in Anaheim, California, is one of the most famous places to visit in the U.S., so you have to go at least once. Plus, Star Wars Land opens on May 31 and includes one of the most anticipated rides of 2019.Xxx Img Usp Ncaa Football Ro 1 1 Ednt68rj JpgIts all in the tagline, really.

As the Disneyland reopening is set to happen on April 30, many people are looking to return to their happy place. Given that Walt Disney World has seen Disney fans flock to the Florida theme parks, that knowledge might have impacted some of the aspects of the Disneyland experience. What can people expect on April 30?

While everyone appreciates that masks, social distancing, and other health and safety measures are a given, a few differences could make the Disneyland reopening a huge opportunity for some Disney fans. Putting aside the debate over annual passes, one re-opening difference is a big win for local guests.

As reported, the Disneyland reopening will be available only to California residents. This caveat did not apply to the Walt Disney World reopening. Keeping the reopening to a limited group will keep capacity lower. More importantly, it could see a more enjoyable experience for guests.

Given that many people still have major health and safety concerns, the limited number of guests based on location seems to help with that concept. While never a small gathering, it is more controlled. After seeing the crowds at Florida Spring Break gatherings, many people might appreciate that guest caveat.

Also, theme park capacity will be more limited during the Disneyland reopening versus the Walt Disney World numbers. Capped at 15%, the total number of guests might seem like a stroll through an almost empty Disneyland theme park. Even though there are no fast passes, ride wait times should be short.

One of the more comical aspects of the Disneyland reopening is the lack of screaming on rides. Although this concept was introduced in other countries, the reality of enforcing no screaming on rides is impossible.

Still, the idea of keeping calm and carrying on might be a broader concept. It isn’t that people aren’t supposed to have fun and enjoy the moment. Maybe the idea to keep screaming reduced is to be aware of your actions. That concept might be more valuable than ever.

An interesting change at the Disneyland reopening versus the one Walt Disney World is the character experiences. While Walt Disney World has character cavalcades. Although many guests perk up as the musical notes begin to play, the reality is that those moments tend to draw crowds. If Disneyland wanted to limit crowds standing still in one area, adapting character experiences in a different way makes sense. What these experiences are remains to be seen.

Overall, Disneyland’s reopening will be successful because Disney fans want it to succeed. As seen at Walt Disney World, the first round of guests followed the rules because they craved their happy place. After a year away from those magical moments, people are more willing to take the headed precautions to have that time with Mickey Mouse.
