I’m here for actual news not maybes, hopes, whispers, and things that have been happening since June. In the meantime while I wait for that, I voice my opinion just like every other soul on this forum

Buying into, promoting, accepting or just tolerating the misinformation, conspiracy theories and outright bunk that has found a welcome home in the Disneyland forum is not going to help get the park open sooner. It is not going to help the economic activity of tourism and business travel return. In fact, it will do just the opposite.
The OP stated that he/she called to cancel their res and was told not to by a cast member because the park was opening the 16th........I mean at least to me that seems like a bit more than the whispers and speculation you've been offering us. My intent is not to see it remain closed, quite the opposite actually. I'd love to see the park open but I don't believe now is the time, someone I can't remember their name asked when the park should open, I answered and everyone seemed to disagree with me, cool no worries I'm not tripping that's just my point of view. The first Key of Disney is safety so to me they should follow that and test the cast members to ensure their safety since they wanna sell the illusion of safety. Disneyland is not something that needs to be open right now its something we want to be open, there was a measles outbreak at Disneyland for crying out loud, something we've basically eradicated. Now with masks and proper social distancing we should be fine, should being the operative word. Are people going to abide by the rules? I'm not 100% sure I mean people still get away with vaping and smoking in the parks and most cast members don't bat an eyeThis thread was started based on the whispers and speculations of those of us looking forward for Disneyland to open. There is even a question mark in the title, signaling it is not official news, it is questioned, and is speculative. As it does not align with your intent, perhaps this is not the thread for you. Also, it seems that this thread will only lead to disappointment for you as it is inevitable the parks will open at some point.
This may serve you better than a speculation thread:

I bet the small businesses of Anaheim would disagree.
not to mention the thousands of CM's who have been out of work since March...
Almost every independent restaurant near me still has their dining room closed despite being allowed to open. There are small business owners who understand that just opening things up won't make things better or get business going again.
It’s math. How big are their dining rooms? Guessing not very. If you can’t serve enough customers indoors to make the math work you don’t open. Sure, you claim the moral high ground of the “greater good” in the meantime but behind the scenes- it’s all about the $$$.
They vary in size. A number of franchised dining rooms remain closed as well while their corporate counterparts are open.
Exactly, it is about $, the corporate locations can afford to spend the money to open, while the franchised locations don't have the money to clean the tables constantly, buy the plexiglass, etc. that is needed. Honestly around here the second dining rooms are allowed to reopen, most sit down restaurants will jump on it because they did before and so they have everything they need to do so. The ones that didn't were fast food and that actually makes sense, because even before all of this, most fast food dining rooms were virtually empty. But this does cause an issue in that most public restrooms are now inaccessible, which is resulting in people using the streets as restrooms, which is definitely not sanitary, but what are they supposed to do when they have to go? And yes, this is indeed really happening in cities up and down California.
