Disneyland Paris is gearing up to reopen its doors in June. Are American visitors allowed?

Scheduled to welcome back guests on June 17, Disneyland Paris will implement enhanced cleaning measures, social distancing, and mask mandates. But what implications does this have for American tourists?

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to open the country to international tourists on June 9, provided that COVID-19 cases remain stable. This means that Disneyland will be accessible to all, including vaccinated U.S. citizens or those with a negative PCR test result. (Currently, regardless of vaccination, Americans must show proof of a negative test for entry, followed by a 7-day isolation period before taking another test.)

The English version of Disneyland Paris' website has not been updated since May 13, stating, 'Just a little more patience. We are putting the final touches on the magic and will share our reopening date with you very soon,' but the news surfaced following a tweet from the Euro Disney Group.

"We are excited to share that Disneyland Paris will welcome guests back on June 17, featuring Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney's Newport Bay Club Hotel, and Disney Village," reads the tweet. "Our reopening will include enhanced health and safety protocols."

"To ensure physical distancing as recommended by the French government and health authorities, daily attendance at Disneyland Paris will be limited," states the park's website. Consequently, visitors must purchase tickets in advance for specific dates.

Along with allowing travelers from abroad into France, Macron's reopening plan caps crowd sizes at 5,000 people and introduces other measures, such as shorter operating hours for local bars and restaurants. While Disneyland Paris is expected to reopen at a reduced capacity, it remains uncertain how strictly it will follow the 5,000-person guideline.

Disneyland Paris first reopened on July 15, 2020, but had to close again due to a surge in coronavirus cases.

Disney World in Florida, which has been successfully operating for nearly a year with strict social distancing measures (including in lines, on rides, and on transportation), sanitization, and mask requirements, eliminated its outdoor mask mandate on May 15, joining Universal and several other parks.

The U.S. Department of State currently categorizes France with a "Level 4: Do Not Travel" advisory due to high COVID-19 levels there.

Recently, as the U.S. adjusted its travel advisory for the U.K. to a "Level 3: Reconsider Travel," leaders from several major travel companies signed a letter urging U.S. President Joe Biden to fully open borders to international travelers from low-risk nations.
