Less than half of the 32,000 Disneyland employees have returned to work after thousands were laid off or furloughed during the 412-day coronavirus closure of the Anaheim theme parks.
The Disneyland resort has 15,000 cast members currently working and expects to hire about 1,000 more this summer, according to Disneyland officials.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek said during a tech conference in late May that he expects the company’s U.S. theme parks to see low double-digit attendance increases over the next several months and reach full capacity by the fall.
Interesting article from the Orange County Register. With less than half of the Disneyland employees returning, I'm guessing capacity at the parks for June/July/August would still be kept to 40-50%.
With Disney CEO Bob Chapek saying he expects the parks at full capacity by the fall, I'm also guessing that's when we'll see park capacity ramped up to 60-100%. Along with at that time, we'll see the return of Maxpass and the current version of Annual Passes/Membership tier levels around late fall too.
Amazing job by everyone at the Disneyland Resorts with getting back to almost near capacity by the end of this year. Especially hard to imagine since the parks have only been open less than 2 months!!!
