The Paris theme park will be the last of the Disney properties internationally to reopen as people in France get vaccinated against covid-19 and wealthy countries gradually return to normal life provided they’ve purchased enough vaccine doses for their populations.

The announcement was made on the park’s website and social media early Monday morning.
“We are pleased to announce that Disneyland Paris will reopen on June 17 with Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney’s Newport Bay Club Hotel and Disney Village,” the announcement said, adding, “The long-awaited Disney’s Hotel New York The Art of Marvel will open on June 21, with sales opening on May 18.”
“We look forward to welcoming you back to the heart of the Magic,” it added.
The park originally closed during France’s first national lockdown in March 2020, but reopened a few months later in July. A second national lockdown forced its closure once again on Oct. 29, and a reopening date has been up in the air ever since.
Disneyland Paris is going to reopen on June 17.
The news comes straight from the French theme park’s website on Monday. Additionally, the reopening will extend to Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney’s Newport Bay Club Hotel and Disney Village – all of which are located in the Parisian resort. We have all been dreaming of this moment. The moment [when] we can reunite and enjoy unforgettable moments with our family and friends, said President of Disneyland Paris Natacha Rafalski, in a statement. When Disneyland Paris reopens, our Guests will be able to enjoy the outstanding experiences we are known for, from iconic attractions and new heart-warming Character moments to unique interactions with our Cast Members and even a few surprises along the way.
