Hong Kong's borders remain nearly fully closed, but the gates to the Magic
Kingdom are set to reopen this week. The Disneyland theme park will entertain
a reduced number of visitors, who will have to subject themselves to
temperature checks and don face masks. Guests have to reserve their visit
beforehand and make a health declaration upon doing so. Inside the park, life
on Main Street will be slightly different. Social distancing rules will apply
at lines for attractions, restaurants, and other facilities. The majority of
shops and restaurants will operate with "controlled capacity." Kids will have
to forgo close-up photo ops with Mickey and his menagerie. And hand sanitizers
will be available. The new protocols go into effect Thursday. The park, which
is roughly half-owned by Disney, had been closed since late January due to the
coronavirus outbreak. But Hong Kong has reported only a handful of new cases
recently, and many restrictions have been gradually lifted in the
Chinese-ruled city. The city's other theme park, Ocean Park, reopened on
Saturday and just last month, Shanghai's Disneyland was back in business after
a three-month closure
