At least DLR is trying something!
So, will people have to go through DCA's gates or is there a back door onto BVS in DTD we don't know about?

My guess is the two large gates on either side of the entrance which they open up when the park closes for the night

So it begins. Kudos to Disney for doing it at no upcharge granted they will make money off concession/food/shopping. Will be interesting to see how they control crowds as I gotta believe crowds will gravitate there. I wonder if Main Street up to and including the HUB will be next. 4 restaurants, starbucks, plenty of shopping.

Where did they say that?

Way to go Disney!!

Where did they say that?

To me, it's implied with the wording "Downtown Disney extends".

 

[DrAlice]

Well... that didn't take long.

Now if they really want to make money, throw in some popcorn ODV and a new special edition bucket.

 

[Stevek]

Where did they say that?

Which part? The no upcharge or Disneyland? I assume no upcharge given the comment that they are extending DtD. The Disneyland part...they didn't say anything. Just thinking out loud...a "what if"

They really pulled a Blanche Devereux and told California to "Eat dirt and die trash!"

I can see the vloggers YouTube titles now:

“OMG CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE IS OPEN....sort of”

 

[Stevek]

And good luck to those that will try to get a dining time at Carthay Circle...should be akin to getting a boarding pass on Rise of the Resistance.

California still gets the money so I'm sure they're happy either way.

If they really want to do that, open up Main Street.

Already happening.

Honestly, they could probably open every shopping and dining venue in both parks as an extension of DTD and make a killing. But they most likely are testing the waters first and maybe are also playing it safe in case the trial and/or lawsuits pan out.

I doubt that. I think they are making a mistake opening Buena Vista Street. They now have to staff the park, decorate it for the holidays for locals that are going to use it for a hangout.

True, they really could turn both parks into a mass shopping and dining district...Knott's version on steroids minus any upcharge. Crowd control would be the biggest issue...do they increase number of guests given the potential bigger capacity?

Why aren’t they charging money for it like Knotts? Maybe it’s a test to see how it goes so they can do a holiday festival.

Hey id fly out there for phat cat swinger and world of color holiday show!
