Jul 01 (Kyodo) - Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea reopened Wednesday with social-distancing measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus after closing for some four months over the pandemic.
In order to keep the number of visitors to less than half pre-pandemic levels, the parks' operator Oriental Land Co. will limit entry to fixed-date tickets purchased online in advance.
Operating hours at the parks in Urayasu, just east of Tokyo, which had been closed since Feb. 29, have been shortened from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Attractions and restaurants will cater to a smaller number of visitors while most entertainment shows and parades, including the nighttime Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights, will remain canceled.
Visitors are required to undergo body temperature checks and wear a face mask to enter the park and will be asked to keep a certain distance from Disney characters during meets.
