Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

[ToTBellHop]

Here is what Disney will do.

>>In-state visitors only. Information will be prominently placed on all communications, including the Reservation and Ticketing systems, to ensure guests are aware of Reservation and Ticketing Requirements. At the time a guest makes a park reservation and purchases park tickets, the park operators must obtain an attestation that when visiting the park, the guest’s party size will not contain more than 3 households and the guest, and all members of the guest’s party will be in state visitors.<<

To do anymore would upset many of the resort hotel owners, and with the DisneylandForward campaign, that is the last thing the DLR wants to do.

Exactly. For no other reason than they will want people to be able to plan their stays (for those who book hotels, as you suggest). They have no idea when this policy will go away and surely won’t want to only allow 1 week of booking at a time.

Got it. So there is absolutely no system of checks or compliance involved. It's an honor system.

So this will be exactly like the Statewide 10PM Curfew that everyone ignored, including big box stores and In-N-Out.

We all know how to play the Sacramento Game now. You hear their mandates and regulations, and then simply ignore them. Or in this case, happily check a box on an Internet form for your "attestation", and then take the visting out-of-state family to Disneyland!

Or, if you are a tourist visiting from Oregon, you buy your tickets online and chuckle as you check your attestation, and then hum a few bars of the University of Oregon fight song. Go Ducks!

If they seriously wanted people to stay out of the state, they’d set up roadblocks at the highway borders and have cops at the gates in airports with out of state flights arriving. This is what Florida did for a couple months last year until they abandoned the effort.

You know, when I go up to my sister's place south of Portland and drink the tap water I get a shock and think "Who added sugar to the tap water?!?" It's so soft and sweet you could almost use it as a simple syrup in a cocktail.

It really is Orange County's shame. Things are truly lovely here for the most part, but the tap water in OC is really awful. Like perhaps the worst tasting water in the nation, if not all industrialized countries.

Every time we come down we have to get bottled water. Every time I’m like it can’t be as bad as I’m remembering it, can it? Yup. It can.

 

[Disney Irish]

There are CA residents who don’t have CA IDs. Like college students.

They are going to ask as many people as possible to buy tickets online in advance. Push touch less payment. And then...check everyone’s IDs? That goes against the touch less focus.

Will they ask you to pull your mask down to verify identity and have you breathe on them?

Doesn‘t pass the smell test.

WDW has recently started testing facial recognition for entry, it includes linking your face to your ticket. These systems can even scan IDs, so don't know why they couldn't do the same thing at DLR.

As far as college students, well if they require a CA ID guess they're out of luck then.

I guess we'll see what they do when they make the announcement on ticket requirements.

I presume they will do what all of the other parks are planning—attestation for ticket. We will know soon.

I could not lie and come to the parks from Oregon against the rules. The whole time I’d be waiting to be tackled by the cops. Also there is NO denying we’re tourists lol We can be spotted form miles away probably.

I also just remembered how frizzy my hair gets from the Anaheim water!

Maybe they will, or maybe they'll require actual proof of residency just like they do for SoCal tickets. We'll just have to wait and see.

My point of the original post on this was to show that Disney has in the past required proof of residency. So its not out of the realm of possibilities they would use the same system here. I for one would not be surprised if they do. Again we'll have to wait and see.

I think it is a bit different for a ticket deal. They similarly require ID for APs but not for day tickets or park hoppers.

But, not really worth discussing further since none of us actually know what they’ll do. Hunches are just hunched.

 

[Disney Irish]

You stated that it was your opinion that Disneyland would force all ticket buyers to prove they were California residents by showing government issued official state ID. I made a joke about liberals thinking ID laws are racist, and then linked to a funny video proving that while liberals are often very ignorant and insufferable bigots.

But it sounds like this ID "Show Us Your Papers!" thing won't be an issue now since @Darkbeer1 explained that this is yet another toothless mandate from Sacramento that almost everyone will ignore. Even dirty Oregonians can just go online and pretend to be a Californian by checking the "attestation" box on the online form, and then go into the park.

This is all another big joke from Sacramento. Unfortunately, it's already gotten media traction and has done some PR damage to the state's hospitality industry.

And maybe Disney won't require it, or maybe they will. I just won't be surprised if they use the same system they already have in place that requires to show proof of residency for SoCal tickets.

Either way we'll just have to wait and see.

Except for mask wearing and Disneyland being closed, life has already returned to normal in OC. They even pulled up the Social Distancing markers off the floor at my Ralph's and Target.

I work all around the OC, going in to 4 or 5 households a day. There were always people who wouldn't wear masks, but for the past several weeks, absolutely no one is masked anymore except myself. They're either vaccinated or they're over all this crap, regardless of what the nutjob CDC broad is saying. Traffic is back to being unbearable, everyone is commuting at the normal times, weekends are booming even at complete disasters such as Garbagewalk. So, yes, I would have to agree. The OC is pretty much back to normal, save for Disneyland being reopened and the Alpine Inn having caution tape and a dumpster in front of it.

That new Westin's steakhouse has looked really appealing on a Saturday night on my way home.

There's also the inconvenient truth of your Spring Break legs you people always insist on displaying during Disneyland visits this time of year. Oregonian and Washingtonian legs are so bleakly white that you can spot them at the Castle while standing at Carnation Cafe!

And then on the third day of your visit, your legs are that bright pink from a fresh sunburn, and you can just picture in your mind the Second Degree Burn Trauma Center that mom has set up in the hotel bathroom, with bottles of Aloe gel and aerosol Lidocaine.

I miss that display of Oregon flesh, as it was always a sure sign of spring!

Not really all that different. Its all just tickets right. They have a system in place for checking residency for a specific set of tickets. No reason why they couldn't use the same system here.

But, not really worth discussing further since none of us actually know what they’ll do. Hunches are just hunched.

I agree it not worth discussing further until its announced.

Ya’ll are still fake upset/concerned that Disneyland will be open exclusively to Californians for a few weeks/months?

Yeah, this thing is over in OC. Stick a fork in it.

If it weren't for the masks and Disneyland and Knott's still being closed, there'd be no way to tell it was ever a thing here.

It’s true! My face also burns like a lobster despite the sunscreen glistening all over it lol

Not anymore. We've figured out it's all another big joke from Sacramento. There's no policing of it, and no compliance required.

It's like the 10PM Statewide Curfew. It's a joke created by Sacramento that almost all normal people will ignore.

You don’t know any of that.

But go on with the fake outrage/annoyance.

Go on with the fake irritation at fake outrage.
