Who says there’s any real 70th plans to begin with

Not yet but CMs are having a Road To The 70th Party on DL'S 69th.....

I wouldn’t read into a cast party theme too much. I would guess of the anniversaries coming up the 75th will be the biggest, that’s if they even want to bother celebrating it in any meaningful way.

 

[TsWade2]

No! Not this again! The actors and writers strike is bad enough!

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

I see it as a total waste of time.

Exactly! The workers better be wise!

 

[wdrive]

Exactly! The workers better be wise!

They’re allowed to do this if they see fit

 

[DLR92]

I don’t see this strike as a waste of time. They deserve meaningful rights and pay.

 

[truecoat]

Hopefully the 70th Plans next summer won't be affected by this.......

Nope, the themed cupcakes and awful hotdog combinations are safe.

Disneyland CMs are expected to protest on Wednesday.

And FYI, anyone who is pro-Union should be aware that visiting Disneyland on Wednesday should be considered as crossing a picket line.

Also, if you have trips planned after 7/19, please continue to monitor the situation closely. If you have travel insurance purchased, any coverage purchased on or after 7/19/2024 MAY NOT cover the strike, so please contact your provider directly.

Would be hilarious if the strike was happening during D23 with Bob and Josh on stage saying “look how great we are!”

DCA?

 

[UniversalIsMid98]

This is 1984 all over again with the cast member strikes…, except it might be worse

 

[Disney Irish]

DCA?

I would assume they'd be outside of the actual property like at the Harbor entrance, rather than in the esplanade blocking guest access.

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

Thank you Downtown Disney route.

What kind of travel insurance covers changing your mind about taking a trip because you don't want to cross a picket line?

How is it crossing a picket line if they have yet to vote to strike?

Pretty disingenuous of this reporter to frame things as "getting more acrimonious" when the union has had this particular rally scheduled since before they even announced the strike authorization vote.

 

[Disney Irish]

Isn't the vote already underway, or maybe even completed by now? The results are coming out in a few days I believe.

So even if not an official picket line yet I think a pro-union person may consider it "crossing" as a show of support and would avoid it if possible.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Am I a horrible person for saying that if I spent 1000’s of dollars to come visit Disneyland (from Canada), and it was considered crossing a picket line to attend… I and probably every other visitor like me would probably cross it?
