Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

Yes, the CDC is rather conservative with removing restrictions. As long as any government body (federal, CDC, or state) say masks are required, they will to avoid lawsuits. But I can’t see any reason why they’d mandate masks if no government agency says they should. However, the CDC loves being noncommittal. “If you’ve been vaccinated, you can travel at low risk but we still recommend you not travel.” What nonsense.
I only see the government suing hapless small business owners for reopening. Or churches and businesses suing the government for over restrictive rules on Covid. The government won’t get sued for the mask mandate since no one believes in it.

Disney would absolutely get sued if they removed the mask mandate (while any government body said it should remain) and someone got sick. That is the reason for their extreme caution in FL, refusing to do things Universal and Sea World do (like fireworks).

For the record, the impression I’ve been under is that a lot of changes people have been waiting on (ex. No masks) will happen on both coasts at the same time. So, if DLR is still required to have masks, WDW will too.

More conflictingly, I’ve heard similar for nighttime entertainment (although I know many people have heard completely different).

Why has no one sued Universal or Sea World?

You framed your question as if the government will get sued. But no businesses were sued if the guests refused to comply. Thus, the mandate is irrelevant. You can pretend the mandate means something, but it’s roundly ignored. That’s because the science wasn’t there. There’s no evidence anyone got sick from exposure at restaurants, and other businesses. No businesses were sued before the mask mandate either.

Here's some news, gang. We'd heard they removed the Frozen equipment/show entirely from the Hyperion, but it may be good news for other parks or theater shows at Disneyland... And the goalposts are moving very fast now!

Highly unlikely.
  1. They don't have a budget for a replacement. Generally, they don't demolish or strike anything unless there is a budget for removal. For the xmas parade, it's built-in. They are unlikely to fully strike Magical Map or Frozen until they have budget for a replacement.
  2. They need the Magical Map video wall and Frozen screen/curtains/projectors for other uses including Performing Arts when it's allowed to return (it's a profit center).
  3. They haven't had the technical staff or construction crews during the pandemic to do demolition like this. I have friends in the Entertainment Division who fully expect to come back and find the sets, equipment, and costumes in place gathering dust.

I suspect Disney would just go with 15% capacity. They won’t touch vaccine passports early and certainly not before kids can get vaccine. I don’t even know why we are talking about this as a society. People are allowed (encouraged?) to have kids.

Perhaps PhilharMagic (12 min), Disney Jr (over 15 min), Lincoln (over 15 min), and Tiki Room (right around 15 min?) are worth offering with the 15% restriction but nothing else, I’d guess. But perhaps the 15 min limit only applies to moving attractions and not stationary ones, because...reasons.

Disney Jr. is likely a no-go. It basically requires a remount with major rehearsals because everyone has lost their job knowledge.

Sounds yummy. Those delicious, delicious sea animals.

But what about fresh mouse (I hear Scar swears by it)? And duck. Duck is good. Not fond of dog, though. Fresh mermaid tail with drawn butter (with a side of Crab Louis)? And even Universal extols the virtues of Roast Beast. I hear pig is very practical. Not sure I could bear to eat roast porg. Of course, the Walrus and the Carpenter were fond of oysters, but we know how that ended. And I'll pass on the grubs.

I have had Alligator before. Tastes just like chicken except more chewie.
