Superthread for Disneyland Resort Closure and Reopening, 3/14/20 - 7/17/20: Please Post All Relevant Questions and Information Here!

[mentos]

I’ve posted some info from the Governor’s press conferences. Since those do impact California in regards to travel and stay at home orders. There just hasn’t been an update on theme parks unlike Florida.

I’ve got the memory of Dory...I legitimately can’t remember what was towing the line toward being deleted because...it was deleted! Haha.

What is being censored is when people bring politics into the discussion.

I did not even remotely mention anything political and I had post deleted. If you wanted to move speculation posts then thats one thing but mine were deleted and as I said there was no mention of politics in any way shape or form.

I’m a little surprised that the information about the school districts was deleted. To me that seems legitimately relevant information. Schools tend to be mass gatherings and could be a “canary in the coal mine” for other mass gatherings.

I also thought things might have been relaxed a bit since the DailyMail link (with A very speculative title, “Disney's theme parks are unlikely to open their gates again until 2021, according to analysts”) in post #1355 is still hanging around...

That UBS analysis is pure garbage! Trash!

The problem is there is not any accurate or updated information about Disneyland, and there may not be for some time to come. That leaves little left to do except speculate on what might happen, and when it will happen. Both of which depend upon the bigger situation with the virus of itself, and it's progression countrywide and even worldwide.

I'm not saying that there is no news or updates going on, but at this point, they're fairly benign. I doubt there is much to report at this point beyond rumor, which as I said, leaves our own speculation. While I understand some of the restrictions on what can be posted, I think it's leaving very little that would really be appropriate to be discussed.

If you feel that you need to discuss speculation and rumor about the DLR closure and reopening, there are other boards and threads where those very topics are being discussed. This has been pointed out more than once in this thread. Don't discuss those topics here where they are off topic. Go to those other threads and discuss those topics there.
There is no problem with this thread having a quiet period. That happens to many super threads. For example, look at the ROTR Superthread right now. A lull in official information is not a major problem. When official news comes, it will get posted.

 

[theluckyrabbit]

While I agree, however censoring discussions of relevant articles (speculation or otherwise) that are being widely circulated in the media is a disservice to both this Board and your objective to those planning as noted if left unchecked IMO.

While a lot is indeed just opinion, those opinions posted here do balance out a lot of the dooms day click bait media stories.

The discussion here is not being "censored" -- rather, off topic posts/speculation/rumor/unofficial news/fake news/venting/ranting/etc. are being deleted. The guidelines have been clearly repeated more than once for what this thread is about. There are many other threads on other boards for discussing rumors, gossip, speculation, unofficial news, etc. The off topic deleted posts could easily be reposted there. If you can't find a thread that you want to join, start a new one on another board. But starting that discussion here, where it is clearly not allowed, and taking this thread off topic and taking your fellow DISers with you is a disservice to your fellow DISers and to the mods.

And since you usually make clear how your posts relate to the DLR closure/reopening (which is helpful for people who don't live in CA and don't get all these updates), your posts have been on topic and relevant to this thread. You do not post opinions about the governor or his policies or speculate on what he and his policies mean. Thank you.

If your post was deleted, you should have received an alert telling you the reason. If the alert said that the reason was "Off Topic/Speculative," for example, then the post was deleted for going off topic and into speculation. Check your alerts to find the reason.

I don't think your post was removed for being political. You should have received an alert telling you why your post was deleted. If the alert said that the post was off topic/speculative, then that's the reason. There is another thread for discussing rumors and speculation -- take those posts there.

Some posts about the school district discussions were deleted for going off topic. Others remained and were deleted by the poster for personal reasons. You seem to have an issue with that specific post with the Daily Mail link. As you have already been made aware, that post has been answered here in the thread. If that post or poster bothers you, feel free to hit the "ignore" button or maybe take a break from the boards for a while.

Once again, for everyone participating in this thread, the main topic of this thread is the DLR Closure and related news, official announcements, updates, etc.
This is NOT the thread for discussing rumors, speculation, personal opinions, ranting, venting, arguing, politics, the virus, public health policy, personal opinion or ideas about what/how Disney should plan, etc. Take those discussions to the appropriate threads on other boards. Off topic posts here will be deleted.
Now, let's get this thread back ON TOPIC! Break!

Reason listed was “edited to remove a quote to a deleted post” so it wasn’t my post that was deleted, just the parent (that’s what I couldn’t remember). Good to know I wasn’t the offending party (this time at least)!

Then the body of your post was probably fine, but the fact that it quoted a post that had to be deleted and might have referred to that deleted post was the reason for your deletion. In future, if you see a post that you know or suspect is outside the guidelines, don't quote it or respond. Then you won't risk getting deleted.

Honestly with that list, what are you able to say? Seems like a lot of the things you've mentioned are very intertwined with the disney closure. If you want to make it an only news you approve of board, why is it unlocked? I'm really racking my brain trying to figure out what someone could say that's on topic but can't be taken as one or multiple of the things you say we aren't allowed to talk about. I'm not sure what the point of this thread is at all anymore.

 

[pepperandchips]

I see the point of this thread as being a place for official news announcements and for those who have questions about the closure to have them answered. As the moderators have mentioned a few times, there are so many other threads on the Disboards for speculation and hypotheticals. In the early days of the closures, I spent too much time on those speculation threads - it was not good for my mental health.

I appreciate that the threads are now broken out into appropriate smaller topics. This one is for official news or for getting questions answered (such as questions about tickets being extended and answers within Disney's published policies). I can continue to be subscribed to this one and read the posts so that I'll be informed when additional official word from Disney is shared about the closure, reopening plans, and so forth without being overwhelmed and freaked out by sharing of hypotheticals and speculation that are not useful to my planning. No one is saying that those topics can't be discussed, this thread is just not the place for them, and I really appreciate the efforts of @theluckyrabbit keeping it that way.

I agree for the most part, and definitely see what you're saying, but there's also the point to be made that this is a thread specifically for the closures, which is due to the virus. If you really want to avoid it all together, this probably isn't a good thread to be looking at generally! This seems like the only one related to Disneyland specifically, and all disneyland stuff tends to get sort of buried in other threads.

As someone in the PNW, information related to Disneyland and the virus is much more applicable to what I personally am interested in, and I'm sure there's others who struggle to sift through all the Disney World information to find things related to Disneyland.

At this point, It seems like there's not really a place to discuss specific Disneyland changes or potential changes. I understand a lot of Disney World applies to Disneyland, but a lot of it doesn't. Again, every other thread in the disneyland section is not related to this, and there's plenty of places to get disney related content without reading more about the closures and why they are occurring.

Id personally love to discuss what disneyland might do with the tight spaces, as it's much smaller than disney world, but it seems like that could be taken as "speculation" and thus not okay.

I hope you understand, and I'm not trying to bash on any moderators or anything like that. This forum is definitely skewed towards disney world (disneyland has one board separated from everything else, tied in with california in general), and I just dont know where else to go to talk about things like that.

Thank you! Missed this thread like the true dingus I am. Considering this is the "superthread" I had assumed other threads were being deleted, as generally "superthread" implies all threads about it should be there rather than making a bunch about it. Overall new to how things work around here, so maybe that's just different here! Apologies for sure.

 

[choirfarm]

Honestly, if they want it to be official news, they should just lock it. If official news comes they can add it or if someone has news they think is official, they email a mod. If the mods truly want it to stay on topic, there should only be a couple of posts a week. Otherwise, it will consist of speculation because that is all we have. So mods, decide what you want. I would close and post real news once or twice a week since this seems to be driving you crazy.
