Disney is announcing some major decisions.

The Walt Disney Company revealed that 28,000 employees from the Parks, Experiences and Products segment “at all levels” will be laid off, THR reported Tuesday (September 29).

The company is placing the blame for the decision on California not allowing Disneyland to reopen at this time amid the pandemic.

“In light of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on our business, including limited capacity due to physical distancing requirements and the continued uncertainty regarding the duration of the pandemic – exacerbated in California by the State’s unwillingness to lift restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen – we have made the very difficult decision to begin the process of reducing our workforce at our Parks, Experiences and Products segment at all levels, having kept non-working Cast Members on furlough since April, while paying healthcare benefits,” the statement reads.

“Approximately 28,000 domestic employees will be affected, of which about 67% are part-time. We are talking with impacted employees as well as to the unions on next steps for union-represented Cast Members. Over the past several months, we’ve been forced to make a number of necessary adjustments to our business, and as difficult as this decision is today, we believe that the steps we are taking will enable us to emerge a more effective and efficient operation when we return to normal. Our Cast Members have always been key to our success, playing a valued and important role in delivering a world-class experience, and we look forward to providing opportunities where we can for them to return.”

Meanwhile, Disney World is planning to reopen a water park in 2021.

Walt Disney World is revealing their reopening plans amid the pandemic.

The Orlando resort is plotting to reopen one of its two water parks – Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon – in March of 2021, according to an update on the “Know Before You Go” page on the company’s website.

“While Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park remain closed at this time, pending government approvals, we currently plan to reopen one of the two Disney water parks on March 7, 2021,” the statement reads.

It is not yet known which of the parks will get to reopen at that time.

“We will provide more details on our phased reopening plan, including a decision on the specific water park that will be reopening first, at a later time. This reopening date may change and if it does, we will let Guests know what to expect in a future update,” the statement continues, adding that they plan to “welcome back Guests and Cast Members to our water parks in a responsible way,” with a plan “focused on health and well-being.”

Back in August, Walt Disney World made some changes to their theme park hours.\

Walt Disney World is making some more changes to the theme park after re-opening just a month ago.

Both The Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios will cut back an hour of operation, and Epcot is cutting back by two hours. Meanwhile, Animal Kingdom is losing an hour in the morning and an hour at the end of the day.

The park has experienced low attendance since re-opening due to the coronavirus pandemic. After re-opening, many safety protocols were put into place including visitors ages two and older required to wear a face mask at all times, except for when eating or drinking.
