When will DL reservations open for July and...

[newfamilyman]

OK, I misunderstood you I think. You can get there, but there is no dates on the calendar! Will be interesting to see what I can see on Tuesday.

What did you find out this morning? Thanks

I walked thru it and got this screen.

That's the screen that I got as well. So there is no difference between what hotel guests and VGC guests can reserve. Thanks

From Sea World’s Instagram:


This park hours update has our “seal” of approval.

We're so excited to welcome back our out-of-state visitors, and we're equally excited to share that SeaWorld will now be opening early - 9a - on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

This is a great opportunity for our guests who want to get into the park early. We’ve seen extremely high demand as we’ve re-opened as theme park, but we hope this shift in hours helps to better accommodate all our amazing guests as we continue to adhere to our park’s enhanced safety protocols.

We’ll see you this weekend!

Per CA COVID-19 restrictions, out-of-state visitors ages 3 & up must present proof of a completed COVID-19 vaccine or negative COVID-19 test.

Oh, please, please let Disneyland follow suit and announce the same.

... or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of their park visit (required for guests 3 & up).

This sounds like a logistical nightmare. Just one example - imagine parents vaccinated, toddler not, family on an extended trip. How would you even get your toddler retested and get the results back so that your trip isn't interrupted?

Well, that will be for interested families to deal with. You can get Covid tests if needed. I would do something like this:

Covid test Monday afternoon good through Thursday afternoon

Universal Tuesday
Disney Wednesday, Thursday, another test Thursday afternoon
Disney Friday, Saturday, Sunday, leave.

I feel this will be the same discussions (which inevitably get closed) where people say "park XYZ is changing their restrictions so the pressure will be on Disney do to the same!" only for Disney to remain firm on their COVID restrictions and protocols. Until we get official word from Disney on a change in policy we should keep this type of discussion to the speculation thread to avoid threads being closed for venturing off topic.

Please only post Disneyland related things in this thread. Any other theme park information can be posted under the headings for those theme parks. Thank you!

I think this is highly relevant to the conversation as to when/who will be able to purchase the tickets in July and afterwards (if not imminently): please see this Twitter thread:

Leslie Harvey on Twitter: "Recapping all the evidence that California theme parks can now allow fully vaccinated out-of-state visitors due to changes in the guidelines yesterday. What does this mean for #Disneyland? Thread... 1/6" / Twitter

that’s what another poster thinks.

Looking through the thread and other tweets, it seems the CDPH is supposed to issue clarity tomorrow on whether this recent addendum to the blueprint applies to theme parks. So, we'll (possibly) know tomorrow!

Hi! Honestly, I did not see that check box. As I stated, I could cancel my reservations but still have my tickets but will not cheat the system. June weekends are almost booked up and did not want to miss the chance of going if they open things on June 15. I miss DL so much and waiting until July would be a bummer if they open things for out of staters mid June. Lots ifs until that time.

I would just be careful posting about it here. Knowingly/purposely breaking the rules is against board policy.

This is what you have to check in order to purchase tickets. You can't make the purchase without checking this box. So... a non-California resident purchasing tickets is 'cheating the system.'

Having friends who are doing this for ball games, it is more like Test on Monday afternoon, results by Tuesday night so you can go to a game on Wed and Thurs. But if you want to go on Friday, you will need to test on Wed morning for a Thursday result. Then you can go Friday and Sat. It is a $119 for each test. I don't know if they are accepting the rapid tests. I know family who got a rapid test ($250 for results in a few hours) but it wasn't accepted because it wasn't a PCR test.

Honestly, if I was taking my grandkids, I don't think I would subject them to this.

Agreed. Just go somewhere else where you don't have to deal with this insanity.

Sticking with WDW is becoming a better decision day by day. I can wait- no Disneyland trip is worth making my kid undergo a bunch of covid tests to be allowed in.

Regardless of what this means, I just don't see Disneyland requiring vaccination proof- I bet they would just wait. But with that reservation calendar looking so empty, who knows.

Again, I honestly missed this but was so excited for the opportunity. My apologies.

I am in the same position. I have GCV reservations for July and my husband and I are vaccinated but the kids are not. I wish they would allow no testing requirements for kids under 18.

This was intended for sports arenas and concert venues, and the rules actually say 12 and older. And for further clarification, a friend had to get a negative test because the game he was going to was 12 days after vaccination, not 14.

 

[tlovesdis]

Just another reminder..if you are out of state and somehow made reservations, please do not post about it. We are not allowing posts about breaking the rules set by the State of California and Disney!

Thanks everyone!

The State of California has apparently okay’ed theme parks to allow out-of-state guests who’ve been fully vaccinated. DL still hasn’t updated its policies, but state regulations are no longer an obstacle. Have to imagine their neighbors in Anaheim will be pressuring them to do just that. https://www.ocregister.com/2021/04/...ate-guidelines/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
