Behind the scenes has said Disney will be limiting the first days at 15-20%. Soft openings are supposedly at 10%. And I know several friends who will not be arriving until kids are out of school on the 30th.
Recently tried to take Uber or Lyft from SNA to Laguna Beach. Normally, that would have run about $26 in regular traffic. The quotes I was getting were jumping all over the place, some up to $80 but nothing less than $65. If you found one, it might be an hour before you were picked up. I finally managed to grab a $65 Uber. A day later we got an Uber to take us from the hotel in Laguna to Newport Beach pier area, and it was over $40. Lyft was slightly less but I had too much trouble with their app and they had longer wait times. When we tried to book to go from the hotel back to the airport, it was even worse and nothing was available for over an hour. We took a taxi, which was right there, and paid $85. That was quite an eye-opener.
Just an update for anyone else with this issue. after being on hold most of the morning, the CM was able to change the name on my ticket. She also said that it wan't necessary, as long as the ticket itself has a reservation on it, the name doesn't matter.
I wonder what is going on? We had similar issues at WDW early last month. Much more expensive than usual and much longer waits. In Maui a few weeks ago there were literally no cars in Wailea whenever we checked.
Thanks for posting back. We have an extra ticket linked in my disneyland account for my daughter who is studying abroad. There are no park reservations associated with it. It sounds as if I'll be fine to de-link and reassign?
There is a small part of me that thinks the confusing wording may have been on purpose so that it was out there, but could be later defined as the powers that be saw fit.Carlye Wisel on Twitter said that CDPH will clarify if the update to the state restrictions will allow theme parks to accept out of state guests that are vaccinated:
Sounds like Seaworld just decided to interpret this as a go ahead and changed their website accordingly. Other folks on Twitter also noted that Universal Studios Hollywood also removed the banner talking about out of state guests not being allowed in too. So guess we'll see.... Either way, as usual the state COVID restrictions are confusing everyone.
I haven’t seen many Californians on here defending the restrictions. Just trying to explain what they are. Living here, we understand this roller coaster better than others.You can't make this stuff up. It's pure entertainment at this point.
The out of staters trying to outsmart the restrictions. The California residents defending the restrictions. Certain theme parks obvious disregard for the restrictions.
Keep it up people. Just make sure the science isn't involved.
Yep. Can you imagine the poor front gate workers looking at the "vaccination cards" trying to figure out if it is valid or a forgery? Or matching the time on the negative tests? And I was told for our industry, you can't have mix and match. If you want the extra people, including out of state, you get the vaccine cards and negative tests from everyone.
Well then I take back my “I don’t care either way” statement. I won’t be happy to have to get my younger 3 kids negative tests twice for our trip when it was booked without such a requirement.
