On April 30th Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu shared his thoughts on Disneyland’s reopening and how it affects his beloved city.
“This is a monumental day for Anaheim. We have all missed the joy of Disneyland, and we’re so glad to have that back. But this means so much more to working families, small businesses, and our city. The impact of having the theme parks closed for more than 13 months due to the pandemic has been devastating. This begins our economic recovery and brings hope back to Anaheim.”
— Mayor Harry Sidhu
