Disneyland To Open Sept. 16th?

[Tamandua]

Expect an announcement tomorrow, before the weekend. If not tomorrow, then next week for sure. If not next week, then the following week without a doubt. If nothing by then, then... Well... I'm going to write Newsom a letter with a bunch of four letter words.

Don't worry, the lockdown is only for 2 weeks, just like the governor said.

Two weeks to slow the spread. Disneyland will be open April 1st!

Thanks, but no thanks. I can wait. I don’t plan to swap out the beauty and charm of Main St. for the trash parade that is Hollywood and Highland.

As seedy as Hollywood and Highland is, there are some gems. The El Cap is one of them.

Oh I didn’t mean the theatre itself. I have some very fond memories of the El Capitan. It’s just the uh... characters on the other side of the street I generally try and avoid.

For sure. I was just making a general comment, probably shouldn’t have quoted you lol.

Tourists still flock to Hollywood and Highland because they actually believe they’ll get a sense of Golden Age Hollywood there. It’s a mess and probably the biggest tourist trap in Los Angeles. I do love the Chinese Theatre though.

All good
I’ll take out of town friends there because they want to see it. It seems to weirdly be a favorite of my European friends. That, and the Farmers Market at the Grove. Go figure.

Just because it was brought up about a page ago, I’m under the impression that the Sept. 16 date is just for hotels, but DL is scheduled to follow somewhat soon.
Also, it should/would take just under two weeks after CM’s are called back to be able to fully open to guests (CM previews and even AP previews could take place inside the two week window).

I doubt they did any prep work given how employees were wanting the parks to stay closed.

Again, it was the unions saying they wanted the parks to stay closed, the cast members were never asked, the unions simply assumed.

I've been watching the daily covid numbers on the LA times site, and yesterday I thought I saw something strange. In the evening I'm pretty sure it said there were like 6400ish cases so far, and I expected that number to go up a little bit in the final daily tally, but this morning the tally for yesterday reads 6031. Did they actually revise the number down?

Someone must have tipped off the airlines ahead of time that Disneyland 'might well be opening in late September'.....

All of those insanely cheap coast to coast flights I've been watching over the last month and a half suddenly jumped back up to their normal rates earlier today.
Major jump.

Hmm....
Something is afoot, for sure!

McDonalds and Disney are buddies again so I wouldn't be surprised to see a return. The fries at Disneyland were always cooked perfectly and they would give you a ton of them.

YES!!! THIS^^^^^^!!!! This is why they were the best place to get them from!!!!!

Unfortunately, I don’t see ground markers any different than what I’ve seen in past weeks. HOWEVER, the biggest change we saw is the re-addition of the chain queue for the various ticket booths and guest service buildings around the entrance. Those were previously removed.

Also, they moved the check-in for the virtual queue of World of Disney from near the esplanade to around where the trams drop you off.

No. I'm the OP. I was told by the CM when I called to cancel that the parks would be open on the 16th and not to cancel my ressies. I have till the 13th to cancel, which they gave in writing. And as I said it wouldn't be the first time a CM has fibbed to me but it is the best news I've had since March and I will keep my fingers crossed.

They are also turning on the front lights I have photos from before and this wasn’t the case previous visits.

Maybe I need a life....or a partner.....or I need to get back into my hobbies.....but...

Reading the above couple of posts has me kinda excited.

Something is definitely afoot...I can feel it.
Sounds to me likes preparation are being made in advance of bodies filling those areas.

( waits in anxious anticipation.....)

Yes, they are moving to reopen, though I would not expect the parks right on 9/16.

Sorry but now the CMs are coming across as just not wanting to work. What’s the difference for all of the rest of us (including myself) that have gone back to work? I know it’s been nice on furlough and/ or getting paid to stay home from the Government but let’s get back to work guys. Their will be masks, social distancing and other things in place to protect you just like the rest of us.

I wonder if the people that are scared have left the house since all this hit?

Great point. I better not catch any of these CM’s at the beach on the weekend.
