    Omicron closures?

    In California, we are calling it a "voluntary lockdown" because what is happening is that places don't have staffing to stay open, or are scared the rest of the employees will become ill and they won't have a choice but to shut down suddenly. For some perspective, the California Dept. of Health...

    Question on capacity/reservations - perhaps "unanswerable", but here it goes...

    I believe I read that Disneyland (and hotels) is operating at 85% capacity; that was the original guideline for re-opening at the current level (well, the level a month ago) of spread. Since they are sold out for all of December, I'd guess it's going to be the same every week from here until...

    California new COVID-19 mask mandate thru mid-January

    Our county has done really well since the beginning. There's a university here, and cases are ticking up since right after Thanksgiving. Testing policy here, too. (In CA)

    GCH Lobby Holidays 2021?

    But they do have carolers. They are not wearing masks; they are behind a rope in front of the giant gingerbread house.

    Vaccination and mask requirements at DLR/Anaheim

    I'm aware (I live in CA); just would have hoped they could moderate those lines a little bit. The metal barriers creating the lines that go back-and-forth outside an attraction are narrow. And for one thing, people are a lot bigger than they were in the 50s! :D

    GCH Lobby Holidays 2021?

    I was there this past week, and the lobby was as lovely as always. There actually ARE handbell carolers. We were there Su-Th and the carolers played and sang on Sunday evening, every half hour, last show at 8:30. ETA: highlight of our trip, along with the Mindful Traveller foot/leg treatment at...

    Vaccination and mask requirements at DLR/Anaheim

    Last week, we were horrified at the lack of distancing in SOME of the ride lines. (We did all outdoor ADRs or mobile ordering, and had no problem with lines in/outside of restaurants.) This actually has led me to feel a bit disappointed in Disney in general, which is sad, because I go to DL a...

    Disney Genie Is Now Live Post Your Hints and Tips

    Home, now. Thoughts: we didn't think Genie+ was worth it, because we were there long enough to be able to ride whatever we wanted to by by lightning lane for ROTR and arriving at 9am in the mornings and doing rides before 10 or 10:30, and then going back and staying after the fireworks. No problem.

    Disney Genie Is Now Live Post Your Hints and Tips

    Yes, could buy before we entered the park, but that was the first day of Genie, so not sure it's still working that way!

    Disney Genie Is Now Live Post Your Hints and Tips

    When you buy individual LL the ticket for it will disappear. Just go to attraction and it shows up when they scan regular ticket. We had ROTR, and it went down while we were waiting. We were given passes to come back any time today. ‘My day’ doesn’t work at all for me. Also, could buy LL w/o...

    Here now. Some thoughts!

    It was! We are going back tomorrow! Not many people in the park today before 3. Then the Merriest Nights people arrived, and it filled up.

    Here now. Some thoughts!

    We arrived yesterday at 2:30, around the same time as the candlelight processional check-ins. They had a separate check-in process, and our check-in was quick. Our room was ready at 4:30. By then, we were in the spa. Whoa, it is lovely. When we arrived at 3:15, we were the only ones in the...

    The homeless in Anaheim and Harbor Boulevard

    I taught at University for decades, including community mental health. Here are some facts about homeless in the US that most of us (including me, before that!) don’t know. Most homeless people are seriously mentally ill (psychotic, incapable of understanding basic reality, believing they are...

    Any updates on Genie+ release date

    My husband and I decided to only go on rides w short lines this trip. Today it doesn’t seem too bad for the it wildly popular rides. ROTR looks ridiculous. PP is out, unless we haul out of bed at 8 or stay up until midnight. Agree that Genie is unlikely to launch until next year.

    It's a small world - flooding

    I cannot read this article. When is Small World going to open again? We are going 12/5-12/9! Thank you!

    Disney, if you are reading this, get Genie+ out now! Seriously, you can't have the parks this crowded without something!

    I'm just noticing that right now, on a Tuesday at 5:45p, the wait times look completely reasonable.

    Week of Dec 6 7 8 9 about to cancel Carnation Cafe

    I think they are going really fast. I have mouse watchers, and a couple of times this week, responded immediately and the res was already gone!
