There are literally thousands of people - including dozens of travel agents - whose livelihoods depend on the answer to the question of when Disney will allow out-of-state guests. The Disney blogosphere is dying for that information.All of that could be true, but I would still expect someone calling back on behalf and in the name of the executives to be much better informed. She had my email before she called. She could have at least understood that this was a company position and not a state requirement. I would have no issue with that. I merely asked in the email if they would be making any announcements soon so I could plan accordingly.
What you did was the equivalent of contacting Disney on March 1st and asking them what day they were going to reopen Disneyland, since you were going to be in California in May and wanted to plan your trip, and being frustrated that the answer the CM gave was misinformed or unsatisfactory. (They made the official announcement on March 17th.)
There's no need to even ask that question - no need to take up a Disney employee's time for that. We're all going to find out at the same time. Within minutes of that announcement, it'll be everywhere.
Universal Studios Hollywood has less than half the capacity of DCA alone. DL and DCA combined have almost five times the maximum capacity of USH. It's apples and oranges by an extravagant degree - especially when you count the fact that out-of-state folks are vastly more interested in going to DLR than USH.In any case, apparently Universal is more capable than Disney at doing something as simple as verifying vaccines on a card, since it is currently doing that.
Disney already had a plan in place. Soft launch for two weeks (which is where we are now), go wide after that. They clearly were not expecting California to change that policy so early, and there's literally no need for them to change gears, even if they could.
