Disneyland s home county is now eligible to enter California s least-restrictive tier, which would allow local theme parks to increase their capacity to 35%.
Orange County s Covid infection rate remained below the Yellow tier threshold for the second consecutive week, allowing it to join neighbor Los Angeles County in the Yellow tier. Among the many changes to pandemic rules that come with a switch into the Yellow tier, theme park capacity can rise from 25% to 35%, potentially opening up reservation spots at Orange County s Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Knott s Berry Farm that had been unavailable under the old tier.

(CNN) Just before the CDC s new mask guidance for vaccinated people became the country s hot Covid-19 topic, a different feature of the pandemic was falling by the wayside: temperature checks at amusement parks.
Several Florida theme parks Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando Resort, Legoland Florida, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay said recently they would no longer scan the temperatures of guests or workers upon entry, effective immediately or in days, citing evolving government or medical guidance.
