Today, California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly held a video conference call providing an update on the state’s reopening blueprint and where each county stands in their own reopening process, and commented on the whereabouts of the state’s reopening guidelines for the theme park industry.
Although we’ve seen some changes in and around the Disneyland Resort theme parks that show Disney is getting ready for when Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure can reopen to the public, no official reopening date has been set yet.

The Black Panther actor left quite a mark on fans around the world with his inspiring strength and undeniable talent. Creators around the world have worked to pay tribute to Boseman, whether with Disney+’s Chadwick Boseman: A Tribute for a King — or, with the just-unveiled “King Chad” mural in Downtown Disney.
