I noticed that too - I'm wondering if there's an event going on at either park right now (preview?) or if it's just Disney IT being Disney IT.

Disneyland officially reopening April 30th

It really is an embarrassment of riches in Anaheim. The ride count at that property is vastly higher than any other Disney property.
But that's the product and concept that Westerners have come to expect when they go to the Disneyland Resort. DCA is still the inferior and noticeably weaker park compared to Disneyland, only because very few people in Anaheim are comparing DCA to Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom. We only compare DCA to Disneyland sitting 100 yards north, or perhaps do a quick comparison to Knott's Berry Farm or Universal Studios.

Yes. And what could ever compare to DL? It’s a gem that won’t be replicated. I think it is better to view the California property as a complete package since none of us are buying day tickets to DCA anyway. So complaining about some idiot who actually pays $120 for DCA is silly. No one here is that stupid. The two parks, together, provide excellent value and a wonderful experience. It is the stuff outside the parks where I think WDW excels, but if you are looking for jam-packed theme park days, DLR is the best. I got a 5-day park hopper for $380 and I’m pleased as punch. I’m paying probably half as much per ride as I would at WDW.

Update on all the weird availability stuff: no more slash through today's date, so I'll just assume it's Disney IT being Disney IT. But good news! More availability's opened up for opening day Disneyland if you have a park hopper.

If they would open up single park tickets to Disneyland, maybe I'd go... Just to say I was there on the last day and the first.

Video isn't working. What was it?
It was originally posted on the parks blog, but it looks like they deleted the video?
It’s Time! Disneyland Resort Cast Members are Ready to Bring Back the Magic
Just about a month ago, the news we’ve all been waiting for was shared here: Disneyland Resort theme parks would reopen on April 30. Since then, 10,000 cast members have returned to work to help prepare Disneyland park and Disney California

A little less than a week to go, and the calendar is looking slightly different! Some more dates are finally starting to go in May, DCA opening day availability is still available, Saturdays are almost completely gone in June, and June 8 remains a fluke in an otherwise expected calendar.
If I could take a stab to explain what's happening with June 8, I realize it may be a Tier ticket thing; by then, most schools will already by out for summer, and the cheapest ticket you can get in June is a Tier 3, which entitles you to Tuesdays and Wednesdays June 8 onwards. (Technically you can get a Tier 2 ticket for June, but that's only for June 1 and 2, and some schools are bound to still be in session then, plus the fact that Avengers Campus opens a few days later).

Thanks! I haven't kept up, and want a chance to ride it when we go in a few weeks.

I think you're overthinking this too much. It's definitely because of Kanye's birthday.

So I saw there was availability listed for opening day at Disneyland, so I decided to buy a ticket. I bought the ticket and then I couldn't make a reservation. After a while, I noticed that the actual dates available when booking a reservation vary from the availability calendar that you look at before buying your ticket. Even when I look at them at the same time, they're different. Right now May looks like this in the preview calendar:
But the booking page shows this:
The two are clearly not in sync, which can cause people to buy tickets based on false information.

And don’t forget, Disneyland officially begins operation for Cast Members and their invited guests tomorrow. Gonna be interesting to see how certain park ops. are handled, whether that be ROTR, length of queue lines, or how distancing is set up and enforced. Cannot wait!

I wouldn't be surprised of Disney IT if it's truly just an out of sync error, but it could also just be a safeguard precisely against buying tickets based on outdated information. There might be a benchmark of tickets where if there are only a certain number left they just remove it from the reservation availability view because there's a high chance it'd disappear between buying tickets and making the reservation.
If that's true, it's probably not necessary anymore (at least, not since the opening drop rush).

I've continued to view it and the availability on the booking window has remained the same while new dates pop up in the preview calendar. When I bought my ticket, April 30th was available on the preview calendar but it wasn't available to book. It's definitely misleading.
