California doesn’t appear to be any closer to letting Disneyland or other large theme parks open.

Newsom, without specifying Disney by name, said that one theme park operator was being discussed the most but there are “dozens and dozens” of parks in the state.

“You have theme parks that are really cities, that operate hotels and restaurant facilities, not just organize around carousels and other amenities,” he said, per Deadline.

Last week, the company tweeted a statement from Ken Potrock, the president of Disneyland Resort, saying that Disney has “proven that we can responsibly reopen, with science-based health and safety protocols strictly enforced at our theme park properties around the world.”.

“Nevertheless, the State of California continues to ignore this fact, instead mandating arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold us to a standard vastly different from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities,” Potrock said in the statement.

But Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Resort’s hotels remain closed.

State officials have said theme parks would only be able to reopen if they were located in “minimal” coronavirus counties with less than 1 daily new case per 100,000 residents and less than 2% positive COVID tests.

Large parks like Disneyland could be in for a long wait if they need to reach the “minimal” rating to reopen.

The industry has organized under the California Attractions & Parks Association to push officials to allow parks to reopen.
