I’ve been dying for Disneyland to open but will it even be fun? Especially in the Summer? I had to wait 10 minutes in the sun today for my my McConnell’s sea salt cream and cookies ice cream with my mask on and I was miserable. And that was in 78 degrees. I think it’s more what Disneyland being open symbolizes to me. I can’t imagine it will be very fun for that first year while they re working the kinks out and with all the restrictions. I’m pretty sure I’ll go at least once pretty soon after they open bud after that I may wait for things to be a bit more normal.

At this point I just want to get on Splash a few more times. I'd like to ride Jungle as well, but I'm assuming work on that is already underway or will be soon.

They better let us get our last rides in. I’m still trying believe it will get canceled. It’s all so half baked. Losing that iconic music not only in the ride but in the entire park? ZADD is like the companies theme song after “When you wish upon a star.” A Princess themed thrill ride?

I guess people here aren't used to being masked. No surprise there. I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people who post on these forums are Work From Homers, if they even have jobs.

I've been wearing masks all day while doing physical work in the pandemic. You get used to it and eventually you realize you're fine wearing your silly face covering to go on a rundown theme park alien bike ride.

Huh? I go weeks where I’m wearing a mask all day, sometimes 16 hour days on shoot days also doing physical work. Then I go weeks where I barley wear one at all when I’m not working. In between jobs my mask tolerance/ stamina goes way down. When I’m at work I’m doing my job. I’m not trying to have a good time. The mindset and scenarios are different.

Also, you’d be going to the park solo. Not with a baby and a toddler.

Personally, I have no desire to visit the parks with a mask mandate, social distancing, and severely limited capacity. I agree that these regulations need to be in place when they reopen, but I don’t want to go if I have to do all of that. I’m not that desperate for a visit.

I don’t mind waiting, even if it’s a couple of years.

I’m desperate enough for that first visit. After that I don’t know. I suspect I’ll be ok waiting until things get a little more normal.

I'm not worried about reopening restrictions that may come when they reopen the parks (capacity/mask wearing/distancing/etc), but then I'm not in CA so I may be shut out from attending even if I'm ok with whatever the restrictions end up being.

I already did a weeklong park getaway last summer so it wouldn't be out of the question for this summer, assuming the new covid variants don't spread too much. Those parks last year were all places I'd already been to, and for the most part, I didn't feel like it was that diminished of an experience, to be honest. And an open DLR would be more favorable for me than WDW in worst case covid scenarios, since there's way more outdoor seating/dining, particularly for places that serve decent food, and the humidity's way less intense normally. If I had to drive from IL to get there for whatever reason, I was already planning to do just that pre-covid so no big deal really. Maybe I'd hit some national parks on the way and get some new state credits.

I already have tickets from when I was supposed to go last year, so that aspect of the trip is already covered.

What concerns me more than anything else is that demand will likely far exceed supply when the parks do reopen, and that reservations will be required (perhaps not officially, but likely in practice) far in advance, farther than I will feel comfortable planning a trip out until things get closer to normal, and that this will continue for months.

And that the perks I paid extra for (parkhopping, MaxPass) won't be offered.

I'm not going to worry too much about what the park will look like, what it's future could/will be/how it will operate/etc. until it's actually open again. Seems like it'd just be working myself up over things that may or may not ever happen and it's just not a productive thing for me to focus on right now.

I'll read the initial reports, see what's open and how things are running, see if I'm able to go, and plan accordingly.

That’s kind of how I feel but I wonder if it will just start to feel normal. (Short term, not forever).
I think it would feel normal if one went enough. Humans can get used to pretty much anything. Wearing a mask while in public feels normal now, at least to me.

It’s the reservation part that I really don’t like the sound of. I imagine that could be difficult for large groups.
