My sister and I had a lovely lunch there during our February trip. She was a bit disappointed to not be inside the restaurant but as two chilly northern tourists it was a real treat to dine on a patio and enjoy the sun and palm trees during the dead of winter. I want this all to be over so I can visit California again.
"Disneyland security guards, attraction operators and meet-and-greet characters are among the thousands of employees at the Anaheim theme park swept up in the massive layoffs coming to the Disney parks division.
Disney has notified Teamsters Local 495 and the Independent Employee Service Association that its Disneyland and Disney California Adventure employees will absorb more than 1,800 of the 28,000 layoffs coming to the Disney Parks, Entertainment and Products division, according to the unions and published reports."

My girls previous Kindergarten teacher, 20 plus years at Disneyland as a parade/Fantasmic performer and now parade lead, only worked on weekends occasionally, just got her layoff notice. She was literally zero expense to them at this time as her insurance was through the school district."Disneyland security guards, attraction operators and meet-and-greet characters are among the thousands of employees at the Anaheim theme park swept up in the massive layoffs coming to the Disney parks division.

Orlando International is the most direct to Disney. Sanford and Tampa airports are further away.

Fly alegiant they said! You’ll save money they said!
They may be slightly further, but can be offset by the amount of time saved with security (last trip was an hour in security).

Ummm...not so sure about that. I’ve been there several times, including the end of June 2019. I needed a hoodie in the early AM and at night. For someone who grew up in NJ and now lives in the Orlando area, California is close to last on my list as far as places I’d prefer to live in. Especially after this year’s political B.S. that they’ve been pulling. On the flip side, I got to go inside Elvis’s Beverly Hills house. I took my 3rd tour of the Disney Burbank Studios, once as a Disney Store Cast Member and my second as a non Cast Member, including Walt Disney’s office. AMAZING! But do I want to live there? LOL...

The cooler temperature at night, average daytime temps in the 70s and 80s and drier weather are what make CA weather ideal.
Only said the weather is ideal in CA, never said about the outrageous cost of living, political climate etc.

I still can’t agree with ideal weather.

That's a lot of CM's in those departments.
It's obvious that when they reopen, they are thinking they will be at a very limited 7 or 8 hours per day operation for quite some time.

How dare that mad hatter! Always up to something. Lol.
Yes both have a Ragtime piano player. Here’s Jim, he started at Disneyland but has been the full time piano player at Casey’s for 30+ years.
And here’s my favorite from Disneyland, Andrew. (Don’t tell the others, they are excellent too!).

Much respect to Andrew for playing in gloves! <3

Only in California would someone break out the gloves when it gets to 59 degrees! Haha. The five and dime players were wearing gloves too on that trip.
I actually asked Andrew about them, and he said he was having fun seeing what works better / worse when playing with gloves. He said he was able to do some slides that would otherwise hurt his fingers.
Senator Warren slams Disney for layoffs, executives' salaries
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed Walt Disney Co's <DIS.N> move to lay off 28,000 workers while making shareholder payouts in the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, demanding more information from company executives on the measures.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, is she? Take their saleries and even if cut to zero, it.would pay for a couple hours, at lost for each of the laid off employees.Senator Warren slams Disney for layoffs, executives' salaries

I'd vote for her. Maybe she can be our next treasury secretary.
