Will Disney World and Disneyland Phone It In This Summer?

It seems as if Disneyland won't be opening too much later than Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Florida resort. The original California attraction and its adjacent Disney's California Adventure park have submitted plans to welcome guests again on July 17, just a couple of days after Disney World's phased reopening.

The world's largest theme park operator announced two months ago that Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom would be back in operation on July 11, with the remaining two theme parks unlocking their turnstiles on July 15. It was assumed that California -- with a more cautious stance in awakening the economy from its slumber -- would follow much later in the summer, if not the fall. The plans will still need to be approved, and while that is likely just a formality at this stage in the game, it's not exactly a given, with coronavirus cases climbing at a heady clip in the Golden State. No matter how this plays out, don't expect it to move the needle.
