I just found this in the China Post.
Tokyo Disneyland set to re-open April 15
TOKYO -- Tokyo Disneyland will re-open on April 15, a report said Saturday, more than a month after a massive quake-tsunami hit Japan, causing widespread damage and knocking out power supplies.
The amusement park closed on March 12, a day after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck northeastern Japan, generating a tsunami that crippled the ***ushima Daiichi nuclear power plant run by Tokyo Electric Power Co.
The amusement park remained largely intact despite some damage to its car park, but the operator Oriental Land Co. had to close the popular tourist site because of rolling blackouts due to a region-wide power shortage caused by multiple power plant shutdowns.
Oriental Land decided to reopen Tokyo Disneyland after the government Friday announced an end to planned blackouts “in principle,” the Nikkei business daily reported without citing sources. The decision will be officially announced on Tuesday, the paper said. No one from the company was available to confirm the report on Saturday. The operator will look at reopening Tokyo Disney Sea, another amusement park adjacent to Disneyland, depending on the stability of the power supply, the report said.
Tokyo Disneyland usually stays open until 10:00 p.m. in April but will not operate at night this year to save power, the paper said.
The official website still does not list the re-opening date.
