To all who get ripped off by Taste of Disney, I hope its refundable and that you can get a ticket instead for the theme park.
While I feel it was a terrible value, I don't think anyone bought tickets against their will, so hard to say they got ripped off. I wonder how the broadcasters of a certain Disneyland podcast feel after making the decision to fly from the midwest just to attend the Taste event. I certainly could never justify that kinda of spend for a food event but hey, maybe that patreon money is rolling in.

I agree it had a terrible value. But to those that could justify the "value" of this event in their head, its "value" got a whole lot worse, as the actual park is now opening the same month.

Splash is open at MK right now! No reason it can't come back before PATF unless CA has different COVID rules for Splash???

I wonder if they've done more behind the scenes for both JC and Splash's upcoming updates with Cali being closed as opposed to Orlando being open

At DL Splash’s animatronics are 20 years older than the purpose built ones at WDW. This combined with CALOSHA rules makes Splash significantly harder to operate logistically.

And politically the California populace and government is also significantly more virtuous in terms of signaling their woke credentials so from a PR perspective the cost-benefit analysis of keeping the attraction running may be a different business decision altogether.

Just look at the esplenade music for reference.

I actually wonder that as well. The public hasn’t been inside Disneyland in a long, long time. Who says they didn’t start on these projects already? It would make sense, after all, being able to do the work while not disrupting guest flow.

So, there won't be cavalcades like what MK has? Not even Bandtastic form 2019?

It may be that there are cavalcades, but not announced in advance. I suspect they will roll out characters and other live performers gradually. Frozen and Magical Map are officially closed. My guess is that we don't see a remount of a parade or Fan! until 2022. Not sure about xmas parade this year.

I'm hoping for crowd levels similar to when I was at WDW when they opened in July last year, that was amazing. I think Disneyland will probably at least feel busier due to the lack of open space in general compared to WDW.

How do people in Florida keep their masks on from coming off on thrill rides like Everest or Big Thunder Mountain?
Good question, but thinking I would be wearing my N95 masks with two elastic bands that go around head.....they really don't move vs my cloth masks that could likely fly off.....can you imagine picking up those or them interfering with rides? I really wonder what is going on with that.....at WDW.
