OK, I admit out of the worries I had the last few months, this was one I never considered lol.
Can't believe they haven't hired you yet.
Yeah I am sure they are great ideas. Can't believe Disney has survived this long without you.Boy I can't wait to share my fix for Tomorrowland that includes both IPs and original ideas! It's bound to make everyone upset!
They're doing Taste of Disney in DCA, right? So just keep running that over there while getting Disneyland ready to open, and then use that time to slowly bring DCA back up to speed and ready to fully reopen when the event ends. If you're Disney, that would spread out your reopening costs over time instead of all-at-once, and would let you focus on getting one park fully ready and trained while still making some level of profit at the other one.
There could be logistical reasons this might not happen by April 1. From the latest RatChat article:......so anyway as I stated it doesn't sound like Disney is going to open on April 1st regardless. We already have a thread that is taking bets when park will reopen. But in light with all the good news (at least I thought it was until I showed up here lol), any new bets when it will happen? Maybe it won't be in April, but still could be May or June. Or maybe until they just get intot he higher tier that gets up to 25% capacity. That does seem to be the most reasonable.
Come to think of it, has any theme park yet announced they will open in April yet? Doesn't seem like it so far.
If I was living within an hour of DLR I would have happily paid $100 to just explore the park and really enjoy the details at this point. Where I think it is all ridiculous is the fact it has gone this far. Our theme parks should have opened with limited capacity months ago.Obviously I agree with this. It was funny reading other boards and people were freaking out over what will happen with Taste of Disney or they would refund the tickets or something. Why? They could still have the event and just open the parks fully later. Clearly this news took Disney by surprise like everyone else or they wouldn't have it happen through April. I'm SO glad I didn't try to do that event. It just seemed WAY too expensive for what you're getting. If I'm going to pay basically $100, I'm going to do it with freaking rides, even if those are limited too. And now it's a good chance we can all be in DL or DCA in the spring.
Disneyland won't open April 1st.
I doubt there's any theme park in California that can turn things around that fast and get reopened in 3 weeks time.
We'll need to wait for Sacramento to release what all their new Guidance is for theme parks. It's still a secret mystery.
Can long indoor dark rides operate? Can a ride with a long indoor queue and pre-show like Indy, Haunted Mansion, Star Wars Land, operate? What are "other modifications" and how does that impact the customer experience?
Too many unknowns still to make that park reservation. Sacramento only gave us three (3) vague new bullet points last Friday.![]()
I expect an opening some time in mid/late-April, likely after all the Touch of Disney events are done.. perhaps Saturday, April 24th?RatChat said that TDA is currently scrambling to bring back ride-ops CMs ASAP so their certifications don't expire on March 14th. If those CMs are back, attractions will have plenty of time to be worked and prepped for an opening. We also know management has been planning and setting up distance markers ever since last year, so all those plans are done and ready to go.
From today, there is 47 days (~7 weeks) to April 24th. This feels like plenty, especially when most of the infrastructure at DCA will be up and running for Touch of Disney next week. I'd expect an announcement of a date within the next week or two after they've gotten full confirmation on the state's guidelines and all plans are set.
On another note, Universal Studios Hollywood sent out this message to their Annual Passholders regarding opening.
I imagine they'll be able to move a lot more swiftly than Disney, so I could see an early opening for them. Also, really excited to see the debut of Secret Life of Pets and the all new finale to Jurassic World.![]()

I think everyone here is upset the parks are closed and that this pandemic is going on. All of last year was so sad and unfortunate for many people.Most of us who complain about something or not being able to do something will or won’t do something that is cause for said complaining. I don’t like New York City, therefore I won’t make plans to go there, unless I’m visiting family.
Some folks here have been complaining about the parks not being open and the economy tanking due to the parks being closed, but refused to buy a ticket to A Taste of Disney, are complaining about the parks reopening soon, and won’t go to IHOP across the street or stay in any of the offsite hotels. LOOOOOL.
John & Ken laughed about this all afternoon today on their show.
There's obviously a very good drinking game to be had here, watching Governor Newsom give this address. Perhaps the most important address of his life, on the eve of the Recall Election being certified by Sacramento for this fall.
I intend to tune in with a drink in hand. 6:30pm is absolutely perfect timing!![]()
Statistics without understanding why they are that way (like for example, understanding how population density works against California and for Montana in regards to the spread of a virus) are essentially useless numbers, but go off.
