Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread

Newsom just said in re: to bob iger quitting.... "There is no hurry to get out guidelines.... ......its very complex..... ....don't anticipate in the immediate any of these larger theme parks opening until they see more stability in the data....."

I just heard the whole statement. This was the worst thing he’s ever said with regard to theme parks. He said he’s “stubborn” and said that it was no surprise why Iger left. Next step is litigation I’m sure


Edit: summerize: iger left due to theme parks.

He’s not budging and said not to expect opening soon.


What data is he following if they have been successful in Florida and around the world?

"It didn't come to me as a surprise at all — there's disagreements in terms of opening a major theme park. We're going to let science and data make that determination. I understand the dialectic, the friction, the frustration that many business leaders have — that they want to move forward sectorally to to reopen. But we are going to be led by a health-first framework, and we're going to be stubborn about it. That's our commitment — that's our resolve. We feel there's no hurry putting out guidelines.

"We're continuing to work with the industry, and, by the way, amusement parks aren't just Disney. You've got all kinds of amusement parks, including smaller parks that are out there — the piers like down in Santa Cruz and others that may be impacted. And so we're trying to work through all of those things. It's very complex. These are like small cities, small communities, small towns, but we don't anticipate, in the immediate turn, any of these larger theme parks opening until we see more stability in terms of the data."

WOW.

Looking into my Madame Leoda crystal ball, I think that WDW's business from DL tourists is about to go up.
 
Does anyone know if Southwest is extending their tickets AND if by a wild chance we go to WDW instead is their a way to transfer your trip. I went through WDTC.

They will give you a credit for up to 1 year, you can book anything you want once you get the credit

Edited - replied to wrong poster. Sorry :)
I believe WDW and DL are two separate systems meaning that you would have to be refunded and then book the other vacation. We are in the same boat. Looking more and more like we’re going back to WDW and forgetting about DL for the time being :(
Who knows...maybe the cruise line will be operational before DL?

Thank you very much. I'm getting closer to the old refund everyday.
 
Yeah, sadly, the deadline was September 7 to cancel flights to get the extended dating to December 2022 =/ I held out for other travel until that date before cancelling. Funny, we were so much more optimistic on September 7 re: DL
Thank you. Well at least I have been saving up alot of spending money. It will make up most of the difference.
 
Right now I don't think there is enough pressure for Newsom to change his stance. He does have some valid concerns with spikes occurring in other areas of the world. However, at some point the economic issues need to be addressed. We can't continue down this path forever. Eventually the economic bill will come due.
Honestly, I think the unions themselves are going to have to stop going after Disney as the employer and start going after Newsom. Unions have huge power and political sway. They may get some movement.
However I doubt it.
Honestly, it's all so complicated. I want Disney to open. I'm comfortable with the idea of Disney open. But is that the right call or not. Who knows?
 
Here's a short update from FreshBaked

It's his opinion of yesterday, and OC's recommendation from this morning
