Now finished, the selfies with the Snow Queen and the hugs with Mickey. The famous parade and outdoor shows are also over. On the other hand, all the attractions of the two Disneyland Paris parks will reopen from July 15, with reinforced sanitary measures. Visitors from the age of 11 must wear a mask. And many seats in the attractions will remain empty, to respect physical distance. 

The capacity is limited. The maximum number of visitors to the site per day is set at 25,000 people. Services in hotels are also reduced. Only one hotel is expected to reopen at this time.

The leading tourist destination in Europe, Disneyland employs 17,000 people who work in Marne-la-Vallée. Almost 15,000 workers were laid-off during confinement. 

The crisis linked to the coronavirus pandemic is weighing heavily on Disney's revenues due to the closure of its parks around the world. But its Disney + streaming platform  benefited from containment, with more than 50 million paying subscribers.
