Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[MrsBooch]

I'll be interested to see how this may trickle down to impact the DVC piece of the Grand Californian. Technically - you don't need the parks to stay there....but would people go? Would they be forced to open it? With Aulani in phased reopening plans, the Grand Cal is the last DVC resort that remains shuttered.

Anyone know when park hopper will be available again> thanks!

As @Krandor pointed out they are available starting 1/1/2021 but we really don’t know.

How can they enforce that? Seems ridiculously arbitrary

I guess by ID - that you would have to show proof of residence and base it on zip code?

I would figure to start with the limited capacity and having to have a reservation it would organically be mostly locals anyway

If you have to do advance tickets they require your address.

My address is 1600 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802

I am sure some could, and could see like weekend stays and stuff but how much is that considering all the surrounding hotels and restaurants and stuff?

And the lack of an economic benefit to those businesses is a serious issue. The sooner we can find a way to get people back to work the better. The mounting job losses we are going to see over the next few months barring some drastic change will do long term damage to the economy. The job losses are now starting to move up ladder rapidly.

I doubt it will be that simple.

To restrict to a radius just seems unnecessary. Why not just limit the ticket sales? If a state is required to quarantine, that would still be in effect, just like everywhere else

Just seems like a rule put in place to show who's in charge. You don't have to agree.

Seems like Disney's strategy of calling out the CA governor may have worked, and quickly!

 

[gottalovepluto]

Most of it seems pretty standard but last one is interesting. Makes some sense and probably won't be too big of a hit to Disneyland as locals park (though I guess it depends how limited)

The last one pisses me off sooo much. I can travel anywhere in state. I can go to the zoo, aquariums, restaurants- but DLR? OMG NO I WILL OBVIOUSLY KILL PEOPLE!

And lol. Gonna be a PAIN for Disney to enforce. And APs?! Holy heck gonna be a lot of mad people if vists are enforced to only Chosen zip codes...

 

[Mit88]

The distance lockdown wouldnt last that long. With how Newsom has been running things, I’m actually not at all surprised by that ruling and I actually expected it. But Disney just wants to open. They have a lot of locals that the 25% should be hit every day. I’m sure the distance restrictions will be lifted within a few months if things progress. It’s better than not having them open at all

They say “Welcome Home” every time I enter Grand Californian.So I just assumed that it’s my home

DLR has always been a locals park mostly so opening it up for locals only and not wanting people from out of state or out of the area to come is not a completely crazy idea.

The reason why the Governer would want to do this is obvious.

If CA bothered with state quarantines I’d be inclined to say ok, fine. I get it. But CA does not, so to essentially quarantine only select people for this select activity is...

 

[Tigger's ally]

So at what point do they drop ticket prices? Walkup sales at these prices cannot be that brisk.

No fireworks, no entertainment, no photo pass, no parades should all warrant significant drops in tickets, aps and hotel prices.

LOL

I guess I dont see the obvious?

Hillarrioualy enough essentially forcing Disneyland to only allow locals- much more likely to be APs- is gonna slaughter what few ticket sales they had planned. And they can FORGET about hotel demand when everyone is a local... Geez, this little gotcha is gonna do a nice big chunk of harm to the Mouse’s bottom line...

Because outside of the area people have THE GERMS!!!

He doesn't want people from outside the area that may be positive coming to DLR and then spreading it to the locals in the area. If it is only the same people who are going to the grocery store or wal-mart together who are at disneyland it isn't much different then going to the grocery store or wal-mart.

They simply don't want somebody from GA or FL coming to disneyland and possibly creating a new outbreak for CA.

He will be restricting people in his own state if what people are saying is true. I don't believe his motive is altruistic.

Sorry, I find him to be...something else. And thats all I will say.
