Isn't that kinda what DtD already is? Zero mistake IMO, they'll make good money off this.

Downtown Disney District Extends to Buena Vista Street

Agreed. I think this was a last resort option as they fully believed they'd be opening the parks to guests.

Yeah right now the demand for DTD is far exceeding capacity, this is a good idea in the meantime of the parks opening.

Since this will annoy the Shut It Downers, I approve. Buena Vista Street can reopen in Red (Substantial), Cars Land can reopen in Yellow (Minimal).

Just open Trader Sam's and the Disneyland pool area as an upcharge and I'll be fine.

I think they will still want to hold back on offering Main Street for free (hence the reason this is DCA instead of DL).
Really still only on the weekends. It will be interesting to see if this changes the current offerings any (whether the Backlot Premiere store will close or not) and whether they will have Buena Vista Street open on weekends only.
I agree. I'd rather have the Grand open than Buena Vista Street.

Great news!
I'd love it if they put some characters on the Red Car Trolley and drove it around to wave at people. Then had Five & Dime on their big Duesenberg playing Christmas jazz music, just to give it that unique Disney flavor.
I find it really interesting that they can do this, but can't operate the theme park. It's apparently safe to wander around Buena Vista Street, eat at Carthay Circle, get a Starbucks at Fiddler Fifer, shop at all the stores for entirely non-essential merchandise, wave at the characters as they drive by.
But the moment you let anyone go on Soarin' or Monsters Inc.... it's deadly!
I think TDA sees this as a strategy to prove it's perfectly safe to run a theme park, just like it's perfectly safe to run a Target or a Red Robin or a hair salon.

The danger is not in opening soarin. The danger is encouraging visitors from out of the area. Is it necessary or not is up for debate, but it does make sense.

But it's all clearly approved by Sacramento, and they only used Science and Data to make their decisions.
It's going on the Golden Zephyr that apparently spreads Covid, not going inside Elias & Co. to buy Chinese made junk no one actually needs.
It's just Science and Data. Also a 7.25% California sales tax on all merchandise sold at Elias & Co.

Plenty of people don't even go to DLR for the rides. They line up to buy ugly little dolls and hideous plastic monstrosity popcorn buckets, eat the food, enjoy the atmosphere or just post pics of themselves on Insta giving a peace sign with backs turned revealing their Disneyland logo jacket. I wouldn't underestimate even just this land drawing in a decent amount of people. So while it may not have as big a turnout as the Yellow Tier (Minimal) version with Soarin' operating with big plexiglass dividers slapped everywhere, it will still bring in people from abroad for an Immersive Masked Socially Distanced DLR Holiday Experience. And thus, Disney sticks it to Sacramento.
I’m a server at craftmens bar so I’m hoping both can reopen.

Good for you! And hang in there.
I can't even imagine how stressful and upending all of this must be, to have a job but not have a job because your job is at Disneyland and not South Coast Plaza.

It's been explained over and over. At this point you're just choosing not to understand.
It won't make a difference. At least not in the way you are insinuating based on your lack of understanding.
It could also just be that they released this news on a Friday to hide other news thats coming out that's not so great.

I would be happy with that as well...my second favorite place to drink at Disney outside of DCA.
Thank you, I’ve been a server for the company since 2012. I transferred from wdw to Disneyland in 2018, I left the Hollywood brown derby. If I stayed at wdw, i would of been back to work since July. So this is pretty difficult.
