Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread

[crystal1313]

We were in SoCal last weekend, staying at one of the resorts next to Gardenwalk. On Saturday, the Harbor side entrance was empty, no line both when we entered at 10 and when we left at 12:30. Tried to get a sandwich on the way out of town from Earl on Monday, so went to the Disneyland Hotel side (hoping my friend could just wait in the car while we popped in and out at 10am). We couldn't get into the Disneyland Hotel parking lot and the line from the Simba lot had at least 50 people and we were trying to beat traffic so left without sandwiches.

Can I ask where you stayed? And was it quiet? Thanks!

I can’t imagine the holidays without IASW holiday. I know I’m in the minority, but I’m not a big fan of projections. I’m worried what starts as a temporary situation because a permanent cost saving solution.

With all the other things that have happened so far this year, thinking about the holidays without DLR or with a totally stripped down DLR is too sad. Sigh... but there is still some hope, according to this article:
https://**************.net/2020/09/...ail&utm_term=0_a98380eccc-a5101c9f1b-96199085
"This is what Disneyland Guest Services had to say–

Downtown Disney will receive Christmas Decorations this year, and both parks will receive Christmas decorations no matter how late into the season they open, if they open, for sure."

@theluckyrabbit do you ever sleep? I work nights so that's why I'm "here" but you're truly astounding!

The DIS news just never stops...

Candlelight being cancelled isn't a surprise, really. It falls under the category of 'large gatherings' a la parades, fireworks, etc. Plus the logistics involved take time and would include other 'gatherings' (choir/band practice).

Unlike SD, where SDSU is killing our numbers and threatening bump back up even before Labor Day numbers hit us.

OC needs to stay in Tier for 3 weeks before next tier, but trendlines are getting close to next level already.... perhaps incentive for DLR to do food festival event? Sadly I think corporate has passed on that idea for whatever reason

Sigh...so this was just posted. It's for LA County (Universal Studios) but might be a template for Orange County.

Maybe I just have the grumps from cancelling our December trip yesterday but why share this if you haven’t even opened up 2021 hotel reservations yet? Killing me here Disney!

Ive been wondering how trick or treating was going to be handled... seems like an outright ban might be a thing that happens everywhere. I’m so sad for our kiddos. There’s still time to figure out socially distanced ways to make Halloween happen- we shouldn’t give up!

I’m really starting to think theme parks will need their own unique guidelines to be able to open the more I see things like this... And I imagine there will be a case spike bc of Labor Day too... Come on Newsom, spill the beans already.

I wouldn't look too far into this as it pertains to larger theme parks. They are talking about those pop up carnivals that you see at Pumpkin Patches. My guess is that anything with "rides" that is temporary in nature, will be banned. Some of these places open up in September around here, so it seems LA County is just trying to get ahead of them.

If LA allows this event to continue, then I think, there's hope https://www.31nightsofhalloween.com/

I’m hoping to get tickets to this!

I feel like that can fall under “car parade” since you stay in the car for the whole event.

Lol, that was my first thought while reading the blog post. I kept waiting for "and the parks will be opening on..."

Sounds like a decree from Burgermeister Meisterburger.

Me, too! I've wanted to go in previous years but the schedule never worked for me and it seemed too crowded, anyway. But they were doing timed entries/ tickets before Covid so they should have smooth transition to the system

Just got off the phone with Disneyland reservations. The rebooking discount is now good through 10/3. I believe it was previously 9/30.

That stinks for those who canceled before they extended it

Thanks for the update, but I wonder why they even bothered extending for a whopping 3 days?
