Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

[DrAlice]

I also enjoy when "person on twitter" is supposed to be a trusted source.

haha... Well, to be fair, he is a SoCal Fox News affiliate anchor. In any case, it felt too "click bait-y" to me. Then I go to twitter and he tempered his comment with this:

"More: This is all assuming we don’t see a major spike in hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID 19 & the vaccine supply remains sufficient. Officials say the mask mandate is dependent on science proving it to be necessary."

So, yeah, ok. This isn't news. We all hope that as vaccines get into more arms, restrictions will be lifted. Wake me when they are actually lifted.

Likely the state since Anaheims twitter page is also saying the same thing

Alright.... This is why I hate Twitter. CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING!

Thank you for clarifying.

Thanks for finding that info and clarifying!

I’m not surprised about the lack of eating options.

It's based on capacity and demand, not variety. Although we might end up seeing some new/different options at some locations.

Bashing on Chapek is about as "normal" as it gets around here. It should be a good thing.

Or should we still be hung up on Covid?

It's not really a good thing, if most of the complaints about Chapek are coming from the same type of misinformation that the COVID complaints were coming from. It's almost as if, so desperate for something to complain about, people will just start making stuff up.

Lincoln is currently being used for CM training.

Right. And I would have thought they'd want to physically spread people out. That's why I was suprised that nothing in the Paradise Pier food court thingy was open.

If they open more restaurants they gain more capacity.

So multi day ticket reservations are a no go at first? And no I’m not wanting to make them myself, just trying to keep up.

We find random stuff to complain about on a daily basis. That’s how this board lives.

Doesn't matter if there is no one in the park to use that capacity.

I don't think anyone is actually spreading misinformation that Chapek has plans to axe Lincoln. It's just anecdotal given his natural bent towards IP and profit-forward thinking.

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't actually say that specifically. However, it does say that you have to get individual reservations for each day. Also, you can parkhop, but you not until 1pm, and you must have a reservation for the park you will enter in the morning.

Without the actual ticket pricing page up, it's hard to know exact details as we don't have the verbiage for expiration dates, "must use within 14 days of first visit", etc.

MiceChat reported prices, but I'm not sure where they got that info (not doubting them, I just don't know). I didn't find prices posted yet.

It's a jump to think that the reopening plans have anything to do with the long term plan for Lincoln.

It's not a jump to assume that shows and attractions that struggle attracting crowds would or should be replaced.

BTW, WDW is apparently allowing people to take off their masks during photos starting this Thursday.

Well, we disagree there, but OK.

Do you understand that more square footage opens means more people, the argument is irrelevant. If they can open a restaurant that normal seats 100 people, and have to operate at 25% capacity, that means 25 more people can enter the park than before.

That is not correct.

The state requirements are not that nuanced. They set the capacity at X% of pre-COVID capacity, period. There's no room for adjustment based on operational changes.

The prices they reported is from the last increase they did last February. Mouseplanet also says that the prices stay the same. Screenshot below is from Mousplanets website

No Grizzly River run? That's a big disappointment for me.

Maybe I'll wait this opening period out.
