Shanghai Disneyland to reopen after COVID-induced closure

Shanghai Disneyland will reopen on Thursday following a three-month closure induced by the latest wave of COVID-19 outbreak.

Tickets for Shanghai Disneyland are available for purchase beginning on Wednesday, according to the Shanghai Disney Resort, which has seen a phased reopening of establishments like Disneytown and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel since the beginning of this month.

"I would like to thank all of our guests and fans for your support and passion for Disney. Throughout this period, you kept the magic of Disney alive with your optimism and community spirit, and we are excited to welcome you back to a place full of happiness and wonder," said Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, in a press release.

"I am also very appreciative of our Cast Members who worked tirelessly throughout our closure to ensure a safe and magical return for our guests. I look forward to seeing you all very soon!"

All guests will be required to present a green Shanghai Health QR Code and a negative nucleic acid test taken within 72 hours from sampling time prior to entering any area of Shanghai Disney Resort.

During the initial reopening phase, the majority of the theme park's attractions, rides, shows, as well as shopping and dining locations will resume operations with controlled capacity.

Tickets for Shanghai Disneyland will be available via the Shanghai Disney Resort official website, app, WeChat account, the resort's Reservation Center and the resort's official travel partners' channels beginning at 7 am on Wednesday, with a limited number of tickets available for purchase each day.

Reservation for Shanghai Disneyland Annual Passes will also be available starting June 29, at 13:00 on a daily basis.
