Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock announced in a letter to employees this month that the company would launch a new ticket-based dinner event featuring dishes from around the theme park and new merchandise. Wednesday’s announcement solidifies the dates and adds specific details about what attendees can expect.
On Tuesday, the powerful board of supervisors of the County of Los Angeles issued an official report in support of Assembly Bill 420, which aims to have theme parks reopen sooner than California Governor Gavin Newsom has allowed.
Amusement park operators have long haunted what they felt was the overly restrictive demands that Newsom’s blueprint placed on them.

Earlier this month, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced it would reopen this spring.
Parent company Six Flags Entertainment said in a statement that it was working “with state and government officials to establish firm reopening dates for our California parks.”
