California Governor Gavin Newsom approved Stage 2 of the gradual reopening plan for the state, allowing a large variety of local businesses to reopen and perhaps some shops at the Downtown Disney District too.
The new rules set in place will allow for more indoor activities, including dining inside of restaurants and visiting enclosed shopping malls. Outdoor museums and “limited personal services,” including tanning salons, car washes, and pet groomers, also fall under the Stage 2 category.
“This change marks a major shift to normalcy after two months of staying at home to curb the coronavirus pandemic,” according to the Orange County Register.
This may mean that parts of the Downtown Disney District area could reopen, just like parts of Disney Springs have reopened in Florida, and we await further details from Disney. We are still a long while off Stage 4 reopening in California which includes Disneyland, other theme parks, and convention centers.
With around 3 months till the start of Star Wars Celebration there is still no word from Reed Pop about postponing or canceling the show, while in Europe they have cancelled all shows through to the end of September. We are all waiting to hear.
