Interestingly, and kinda funny imo.
The site that shall not be named is reporting they were there last week. So no going back now on cap increases (if they happened).

It is? I had to Google that, and I learned that this past February and March when people could still book rooms at the Disneyland Hotel they were sent an email from Disney that there would be work this year to "refresh rooms and convention spaces" with a "soft goods refurbishment". Soft goods means replacing carpet, drapes, upholstery, common area furniture, and perhaps bedding or mattresses.
Disney was fully expecting to operate the Disneyland Hotel in 2020 during this "soft goods refurbishment". And if they have replaced the carpeting or draperies, which would be the most impactful to a single floor at a time, they certainly aren't doing it in the entire hotel all at once.
The Disneyland Hotel has been put into mothballs, and has no current plan to reopen. Much like Panda Chinese Food down on Katella.

State agencies plan visits of California theme parks this week to develop reopening plans
Newsom commented on amusement parks reopening guidelines during a news conference on Monday, Oct. 12.www.ocregister.com
>>Newsom’s top concerns about reopening large theme parks like Disneyland focused on the mixing of large crowds and encouraging national and international travel during a global pandemic.
“They’re small cities,” Newsom said of theme parks. “They’re people from all around the world that descend, not just people that are proximate to these theme parks that come together and mix.”
Newsom anticipates his administration will issue separate reopening guidelines for smaller and larger theme parks in the state.
“I am very mindful, for example — if you have a park, in a city, with a Ferris wheel — that that’s not a ‘theme park’ in the sense so many of us consider,” Newsom said during the news conference. “So one has to distinguish between the two.”<<
One of the silver linings to Covid is that I have learned to enjoy the word soup served up by Governor Newsom. Just read those quotes above and marvel at their grandeur and scope!
It also is fun to try to incorporate Newsom's vocabulary in your everyday conversations. I get lots of strange looks when I use these phrases with the checkers down at Gelson's and Trader Joe's, but I think I'm helping their vocabulary expand. Our front line workers need a lift!
Newsom said of theme parks, “They’re people from all around the world that descend, not just people that are proximate to these theme parks that come together and mix.”
Gavin Newsom = "People from all around the world that descend"
Mortal Human = "Tourists"
Gavin Newsom = "People that are proximate to these theme parks"
Mortal Human = "Locals"
Try incorporating that into your next conversation about Disneyland, or a favorite theme park.
Don't just say something dull like "Disneyland attracts both tourists and locals". Offer a gift of love to the world around you by instead saying "Disneyland has people from all around the world that descend, not just people that are proximate to Anaheim that come together and mix."

It’s the sad state of American politics that we get either the condescension of a Newsom or the stupidity of “we have people who bigly travel and we have beautiful people who just live here. Just beautiful. Really beautiful. Sad.”One of the silver linings to Covid is that I have learned to enjoy the word soup served up by Governor Newsom. Just read those quotes above and marvel at their grandeur and scope!

@George Lucas on a Bench, I really do enjoy your regular ResortWalks and photography safaris you do for us!
What hits me the most about today's offering is that the surrounding area still looks just as abandoned in mid October as it did over six months ago in late March. Empty parking lots, closed stores, shuttered motels. Can you imagine how apocalyptic all these dozens of businesses must look like inside behind the blacked out windows?
And JimBoy's Tacos is now gone. They removed their sign this week, as seen below. The sign was still there earlier this month. That was my secret getaway from the parks for good Mexican food for older white people.
And then there's the big, swanky new Westin. They are clearly putting the finishing touches on it. It was to open this month to great fanfare and a sold out facility through the busiest theme park and convention months of fall and winter. Oops!
@Darkbeer1 have you heard anything about the Westin? It's now increasingly apparent that Disneyland won't be open in 2020, and it could be many months into 2021 before Disneyland reopens. The Anaheim Convention Center would appear to be on an even longer reopening timetable than Disneyland. What is the Westin's strategy now I wonder?

I think what fascinates me the most about Newsom's ridiculous vocabulary is how he learned to talk like that. How does that happen in a person's brain? Gavin didn't create it, it's the type of language used by upper-middle managers in most HR departments or white collar cubicle farms.
Yet this is definitely not how a young Gavin Newsom was taught to speak or compose sentences at his mid 1980's public high school in Marin, or his late 1980's classes at Santa Clara University.
Gavin Newsom's current vocabulary and phrasing is an entirely new kind of language and dialect. But how does he learn it? Where did it come from? And how does he decide when to replace a widely used noun like "local" with the phrase "people proximate to"?
I really think Netflix or Amazon Prime should produce a documentary that looks into this and explains how this type of weird language evolved, and why the people that use it think it makes them look smarter or of a higher social class than those who don't. It's a genuinely fascinating concept that could make for a really funny documentary!

I was thinking these lines were being fed to him on a teleprompter by an automated computer system that didn't quite get how people talk. Or he's an android.
“I know a number of people are continuing to wonder when that guidance is coming out and I like to say, ‘It will come out when we’re ready,’” California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly said. “We’re working closely with our industry partners making sure that we take all feedback, use our own information from visits to operating parks in other states and then some visits here in parts of California to understand how those plans will come together.”
“In terms of the California visits, those are upcoming, and together the information and the dialogue with our theme park operators across the state will help us land in a place that I think we can all feel confident is based on the best and most up-to-date information,” Ghaly said during the news conference.
"Newsom administration officials went to Florida last week to assess the health safeguards in practice at Disney World and other Orlando-area theme parks.
“We look forward to compiling the information from those visits, having ongoing dialogue so we land with the guidance that really does make sense,” Ghaly said during the news conference. “I haven’t gotten the report back on what their findings and experience was, but the reason why we sent people is to really understand in action how a park operates, how the community around it functions with the park open in a time where we’re facing COVID transmission and really how it plays out not just within the park, but beyond.”

Newsom is the son of a judge, so he actually probably grew up hearing his dad speak like this.
Also you too can learn to speak in the same way, there are plenty of classes on business and politician public speaking.

Can they do a deep dive into his bedroom language. I feel like I need to hear it just like Jared Kushner’s adult time playlist.
