Masks, temperature checks and no hugs with Mickey Mouse greeted visitors to Disneyland in California on Friday as Walt Disney`s original theme park reopened for the first time in over a year. 
 
Under coronavirus pandemic guidelines, "The Happiest Place on Earth" was opened only to California residents and capacity was limited to 25% to allow for social distancing. 
 
Guests, age 2 and older, were required to wear face masks and there were none of the usual hugs with costumed characters like Mickey Mouse and Snow White. 
 
There will be no parades, and the nightly fireworks displays have been put on hold to prevent crowds from gathering closely together. 
Tickets to Disneyland are sold out through mid-June, according to the park`s online reservation system, but there is more availability in the adjacent California Adventure. 
 
Disneyland, located 35 miles south of Los Angeles in Anaheim, opened in 1955. Walt Disney Co closed its theme parks around the world in March 2020 to help curb the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
The company`s most-visited resort, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, reopened in July 2020. Disneyland Paris is currently closed. Disney parks in Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong are open.

California's Disneyland re-opens but don't expect hugs from Mickey Mouse

Keeping all the possible safety precautions and instructions on place, a large portion of the Walt Disney World Resort is set to reopen on Saturday morning. 
 
Despite the spiralling number of COVID-19 cases in Florida, the Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park will keep its doors open tomorrow. However, the company is making it clear that the proposed safety guidelines are not suggestions, but rules. 
 
The official Disney World website has clearly laid down the guidelines to follow in an effort to make the adventure park as safe as possible. 
 
"An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting Walt Disney World Resort you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19," read the website's statement. 
 
The website has cited more than six guiding principles including stress on "enhanced cleaning, physical distancing, and reduced contact."
