For Disneyland fans, there’s good news, and there’s bad news.
The good news: Orange County’s recent elevation to the yellow tier means capacity at the nearly sold-out parks can increase immediately, and new guidance about the end of capacity restrictions next month means it will be much easier to get a ticket to the Happiest Place on Earth, even for out-of-state guests.
The bad news: Wait times for rides and attractions are already getting to be a problem, and this increased capacity without the return of FastPasses or single-rider lines means those waits are going to increase exponentially in the next month.
