Pressure is mounting on California state government to reopen theme parks, especially Disneyland, which is now in its seventh month of its historic closure.

We recently shared how Disneyland’s President Ken Potrock says the resort is “in limbo” until the state releases industry guidance for theme parks to reopen. Now, the organization Reopen O.C. Now is doubling down with a new internet ad that calls on Governor Newsom to reopen Disneyland.
Orange County Register has shared the internet ad, that adds more pressure on state government to come out with theme park reopening guidance. Reopen O.C. Now, the organization that created the ad, is a group made up of city leaders from Anaheim, Buena Park, and Garden Grove, as well as the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

The sentiment of “It’s time to responsibly reopen” has been echoed several times now across Disney leaders as well as local authorities in Southern California. Josh D’Amaro noted how “it’s time” to reopen Disneyland in a recent press conference, and Disneyland President Ken Potrock reiterated the comment in a recent meeting with the Souther California News Group editorial board.

The ad features video footage from both Disneyland and Disney World. The images from Disney World, which includes Cast Members sanitizing locations such as Expedition Everest and Casey’s Corner, was filmed for a promotional video released by the Florida resort shortly before it reopened in July.

The ad will be shown to web users across Southern California, where Disneyland resides.
