On April 29, we reported that Hong Kong Disneyland was preparing for a reopening. The preparations focused heavily on maintaining safe social distancing for when visitors come and for the Cast Members who work there. One day later, we reported that Hong Kong Disneyland took the next step in the reopening process by bringing back select Disney Character Dining with certain Disney Characters for visitors before officially reopening their theme park.
We also recently reported that Hong Kong Disneyland was setting up other protocols such as markings on the ground, temperature check tents, and safety protocol signs.
