BTW, for those that don't know the Dow Report is not the stock market. Its the podcast from Roger Dow the CEO of the Travel Association, the Washington lobby group for the Travel Association. So this is Josh D playing politics in the media, calling out Newsom to hurry up and approve theme parks to reopen. Josh is trying to apply political pressure to Newsom by getting the Travel Association involved.In an interview Josh D’Amaro recently had with The Dow Report, he said“…we don’t have any California guidelines for opening. And as soon as a date and those guidelines are set, I can tell you we’re ready.”
Also, If you look at the California COVID government page of guidelines, amusement/ theme parks are not listed with any new guidelines (or at all), though a few different sectors—predominantly childcare and schools—received guideline updates yesterday to be discussed today or tomorrow by Newsom.
So just reiterating what we all already know, and that is that we are still waiting. It will be curious to see this Thursday if Disneyland does their weekly “push” of reservations. Because this next push will theoretically (based on pattern) cancel reservations between Sept 12 through 18. And that magic Sept 16 date that has been the earliest date for booking falls in that range. I wonder if they are looking at opening hotels without the parks? I can’t imagine there would be as much demand, especially at those prices and without a theme park. I know WDW opened their DVCs like a month early prior to opening, but at least in WDW there is a plethora of things to do outside of the parks on property AND they had a hard opening date.
