Did A Touch of Disney require that you be a California resident?

Nope! And neither does the Knotts food festival. They even have hotel packages for their event.

Touch of Disney is a "special event" with no rides open specifically to get around the required guidelines for opening the parks. I'm grateful, because I'm flying in from Salt Lake for it!

Exactly- I think Disney will leave ToD alone since pivoting would be too hard and a PR nightmare for those out of staters who put early faith into Disney. Disney knows how many out of state tickets sold so if significant number, disney will not pivot to reopening DCA before ToD runs its course.

The doesn't preclude DL reopening though. I would reopen DL as soon as unions are willing to do so and not a single day later. OC will most likely be in red by 4/1. as will qualify on tuesday's update and 14 day clock starts. Red tier entry ~3/23 and if the numbers keep improving orange tier 4/6 -- if the UK variant doesn't spread faster than some models are predicting. Here in SD we have some models dropping into red in April and bumping back into purple in May due to combo reopening and UK variant.

I am so excited about this! We are going twice; once for DHs bday and then I am taking my adult daughter another day.

Now the banners

Does anyone think more tickets will be released for early April dates?

 

[ddwlms]

If everything went absolutely perfect from today forward, the soonest they could open tier wise would be about May 4th. And that isn't going to happen. I am hoping for a July 17th opening.

How do you get May 4th? Are you counting all the way to Yellow?

They haven’t mentioned anything about releasing additional tickets. Maybe (big maybe), if throughout the event OC moved to a less restrictive tier they can up the capacity and do “surprise” release ?

I posted that prior to the opening announcement. I was looking at yellow.

I think that they will definitely announce more late-April/early-May dates. The reception for the first month has been so strong that I wouldn't be surprised if they increased the price and announced another month of dates in the next couple of weeks.

And even though we're all excited by the prospect of Disneyland opening, it's still a ways out. And with the parks only able to operate at 15% capacity with limited indoor attractions, I think Team Anaheim likely sees A Touch of Disney as being a more profitable short-term solution.

In town April 28th for 3 nights. Hoping for an opportunity to attend.

Anyone know what time dining reservations start on the 11th?

 

[amyg1975]

I was just wondering this myself!

I think it used to be 8a.m., not sure if that has changed.

 

[aymiewilson]

Has anyone else been thinking that there are two items SADLY lacking from these menus? Where are the mickey beignets and the mint julep?!?!

 

[Laundress]

Do we need to call for the dining reservations? or will it be online

 

[DieGo2SHAE]

Back for another night shift to try to get Lamplight reservations

 

[sophy1996]

Just tried online and was put into a waiting room for dining reservations, so they may have opened.
