Shanghai Disney Resort announced Wednesday that the Shanghai Disneyland theme park will reopen to the public on May 11.

This follows the reopening of Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel in early March, after the resort announced temporary closure in late January in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

During the initial reopening phase, the park will institute new measures and procedures, including opening with limited attendance and required advanced ticketing and reservations, accommodating social distancing in queues, restaurants, vehicles and other facilities throughout the park and implementing increased frequency of sanitization and disinfection.

Ticket sales will be available via the resort's official online channels and official travel partners' channels from May 8, with a limited number of tickets available each day.

On May 11, the majority of Shanghai Disneyland's attractions, rides, some shows, shops and dining locations will resume operations with controlled attendance. Some interactive attractions and experiences such as children play areas and theater shows will remain closed.
