It’s not state law, it is guidelines, and as written, the guidelines are met with the attestation signed, which is why everywhere with rides is including a check-box during the purchase process. Whether Disney goes beyond that is their choice, but it is not required and others are not doing so. Meanwhile, Universal has been allowing people at their food event go on rides. You don’t need to be in-state to go to the food event. Gasp.
Guidelines, state laws. Disney is attempting to comply either way because they have to. Still not the same thing as a situation Captn EO was referring to.
Of course not. They wouldn’t be accused of racism by a rational person. But there would still be tricky situations to deal with that they’d rather avoid. College students and people who recently moved come to mind. In practice, the threat that proof of residency “may” be required would keep most people from traveling. Not worth the risk. Not when the tourism office is suggesting to just wait 7 weeks.
If people live in California, they should be able to prove that, including people who’ve only been here a few months.
Indeed. Bring an In-n-Out burger receipt and you’re in.
I dare say the volume of people was much lower than *literally everyone coming* and that groups weren’t expected to stay 6 feet apart while someone examines your electric bill. They are pushing online purchases and ticketing to speed the process up and avoid crowding. “Hand me that document so I can touch it and possibly pick up Covid and give it to the next guest“ goes against that. McDonalds won’t even take my credit card at the drive-thru anymore.
Sure.
My thoughts exactly. I’ve had to provide proof of residency at the DLR multiple times.
For funsies I just now tried to make a reservation without a ticket (the wait was 10 seconds) and I got to a point where it said I don't have a linked ticket and asked if I wanted to link a ticket (or tickets) and the continue button was greyed out until I linked ticket(s).
I understand this, but doing so would still
If they try, we can expect to see it live-streamed on Facebook.
That's true! It could also be that just checking the box online is enough for Disney to let people in.
Yeah it would, along with millions of other folks.
Legally, it certainly is. Any further requirement would be Disney’s call.
Folks are thinking too hard about this. Folks looking to go now should be prepared to prove they are California residents in case Disney asks for proof. Anyone who legitimately lives here should be able to do that. If Disney asks for I.D., it’s not going to be some social distance nightmare where they’ll constantly be thinking about staying six feet away from guests (realistically speaking, staying six feet away at Disneyland at all times is obviously impossible and we all know this, CMs included). If they choose not to ask for proof, that’s their prerogative. If non-resident wants to test the system, they’re welcome to.
Because they didn't read your mind and know you wanted to go in August instead of May or June? Why would they not let you get to the point of booking a reservation if you have valid tickets linked? I'm confused.
Because I don't live in California. My tickets are linked to a ny address. So I assumed they wouldn't let me book while the parks are limited to California residents.
