Disneyland Becoming Mass Vaccination Site

[drusba]

Disneyland is to become a mass vaccination site, see, e.g., https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/orange-county-disneyland-vaccine-site-trnd/index.html. I assume this means that the park and VGC are going to otherwise remain closed for quite some time.

Likely they will be closed for a while. At least this may allow some cast members to return for crowd control.

It sounds like the vaccination site will be in the Toy Story lot and adjacent employees lot(s), so it doesn’t necessarily rule out other aspects opening. I do think the parks opening are a good ways off.

Agree, but the situation in California suggests they would remain closed for a long while, anyway. I'm sure Disney sees it as good PR and as a practical means toward a sooner reopening. Really want that to be the case.

LOL Doubtful, but some kind of entertainment while the crowd is waiting is something Disney is good at.

Is this to trick kids into getting shots?

"Hey kids, we're going to Disneyland today!"

The vaccine has not been approved for people under 16 or 18. It wasn’t tested on them. I believe they were starting tests.
