Here comes the lawsuit if this is true...

They should absolutely sue. That is unfair discrimination.

Imagine being Universal in neighboring LA County. They are probably looking at next fall at the earliest, and more likely Spring 2022.

The question is.... will he listen. This kind of proves that the talks between them haven't been the way the government officials have stated it. Everyone needs to have buy in on how it works.

Omg, I know it’s not funny, but this reminded me of these pages from a book my son has about opposites.

FORWARD! GIVE US GUIDELINES!
OMG, NO! NOT THOSE GUIDELINES! BACK BACK!

Wow, this whole thing is a mess

Mess is a very nice word. Holy moly.

That article sort of implies he HASN'T been working closely with them this whole time... doesn't it???

100% it does. This was not a bi-partisan project at all.

Boom. Mic drop.
They kept asking for guidelines....
This really solidifies my belief that Disney was trying to use the press to push what they wanted and "collaborations/negotiations" were not going their way. If you re-read Disney's "begging for guidelines" press statement, it fits.

Or, they have been working closely but not agreeing on guidelines for reopening. Disney starts its press blitz and the Newsom says, “Fine, negotiations are done. Here are your guidelines, whether you like them or not.” And then Disney says, “Wait, let’s talk more...”

I agree.

They have a January 2021 expiration date and we bought them from Undercover Tourist. Does anyone know if the expiration date will be extended or can we get a refund?

I received a refund from UCT for our 3 day parkhoppers w/maxpass. Full refund minus 5%. It took exactly 1 month from the day I requested the refund.

 

[DLgal]

What a cluster.

Sheesh. Why is this so hard?

This was my exact experience as well. August 25 to September 25.

I don't live in California but I really feel Disney and the Governor do not like each other.

One thing has become very clear to me through this crazy 24 hours:

I may finally be forced to subscribe to OC Register.

It's never been just Disney, though. Legoland was actually the first to hold a press conference begging to get guidelines. We know Knotts has been equally vocal. It's ALL theme parks in CA.

This is not some Disney vs. The Governor showdown.

Maybe so, but that isn't how an elected official should govern. They answer to us, not the other way around.

Maybe the governor really hates rollercoasters? Or deep fried snacks?

I also think the question (and one folks like us on here might not like) is what is DL/USH willing to "give up" for the Governor to remove or reduce certain restrictions, such as the rumored local restriction and possibly a Yellow phase open. Would the Governor allow them to reopen sooner if Disney/Universal reduced capacity caps even more? Would he even consider dropping the distance restriction? If it's truly a negotiation, neither side is going to get exactly what they want. I try to be fair to both sides (it takes two to tango after all), but it's looking like this situation may need outside arbitration to get involved.

Wow, this whole thing is a mess

This whole thing feels like a bad soap opera at this point.
