Just about a month ago, the news we’ve all been waiting for was shared here: Disneyland Resort theme parks would reopen on April 30. Since then, 10,000 cast members have returned to work to help prepare Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park for the big day, from refreshing the colorful spring flowers and paintwork to testing attractions, stocking up new merchandise and firing up the kitchens to serve tasty eats and treats once again.

While our cast members have been hard at work these last few weeks, they will also get the chance to be some of the first guests back in the parks to experience the magic during soft opening days next week.

Now, it’s time. As we get ready to open the gates once again, take a look at how ready our cast members are to bring back the magic.
