As of late, U.S. States are gradually lifting lockdown orders, leaving theme parks to workshop how to reopen amid the pandemic. Experiencing a financial shock due to the closure of the parks, the Walt Disney Company configured plans to stay in business, including padding up the Disney+ catalog, raising $11 billion in debt, and putting employees on furlough. In May, sections of Shanghai Disney reopened, while implementing new safety policies. These include limited capacity and mandatory mask-wearing. Earlier this month, Disney revealed Disneyland had a reopening date of July 17, pending government approvals.
