You’re a delight.

Nope, I’m a realist who lives in California and pays attention to the Governor. And for the record, I hope I’m wrong and everything opens up and you and your family have a wonderful vacation this summer. Stay safe and healthy!

Everyone is speculating. We. Will see what happens.

I can see why limiting the number visitors makes sense but I'm not sure why those visitors should be locals or AP holders. Reducing the overall capacity of the Park achieves the same goal regardless where those guests originate... plus out of area guests may pump much needed $$ back in to the surrounding hotels and restaurants.

Oh I don’t necessarily think it should be locals or AP holders.... it was just one idea that’s being floated around on message boards. Never said that I personally thought it should be limited to only locals of AP holders. I have no idea what they’ll actually do, if anything. We’ll just have to see how it all plays out in the weeks and months to come.

Stepping in to remind everyone to keep this thread focused on official news and official news from Disney about the closure and any updates on reopening dates. There are plenty of other places to go for rumors, conjecture, gossip, etc., so we want to keep this thread as fact based as possible so people know that what's in this thread is as accurate and as updated as it can be. Let's keep this thread on topic.
If you want to discuss the rumors and other ideas floating around the internet, there are other boards for that.
Thank you to everyone for keeping a good sense of humor with each other. Let's continue the discussion with respect and courtesy.
Now, on with the show!

Ditto

this thread is for facts, not speculation- I definitely lost sight of that. Thanks @theluckyrabbit

I can see them opening with a lower capacity number at first and gradually increasing it to the current capacity number over a period of time. The 'period of time' would need to be tied to a continuing 'non-rise' in new cases.

I don't think it should be tied to any specific 'type' of guest, but I have a feeling that 'out of towners' attendance might possibly be limited based on available lodging. Who knows when hotels will be back to offering full inventory? I usually stay onsite, but have the option to stay with family. I might be limited due to hotels offering less rooms or my family might not be comfortable with me staying there if I'm going to a huge venue like DL.

I think they should have everyone interested in going to Disneyland each day get on the app at 5:00 am and frantically hit a button requesting entrance. Maybe they could call it a boarding group or something so your whole group can go in together. I can't imagine there would be any complaints or better ideas than this since it is obviously the most fair method!

My daughter’s graduation trip was planned for the end of May and I’m trying to figure out the best time to reschedule and so far the week of Thanksgiving is winning out. My question is, will they modify my reservation and keep my park ticket and max plus rates the same and only adjust the hotel rate or will it all change? If it’s all going to change I may wait until later in the summer to book and I’ll hopefully know more in making my decision. I have until 4/27 to cancel and get the deposit back. My hotel is the Fairfield Inn and I booked directly thru Disney.

Cancel and rebook.

Have you priced out what it will cost to book the Fairfield directly with Marriott and the tickets separately? It's usually cheaper to do this. The pin set and discounts usually don't offset this price difference.

For November, with the current ticket and Max Plus prices it’s within $20 to book direct versus through Disney. When I book for May it was several hundred dollars cheaper to book through Disney, which is why i did it that way. If they keep the old ticket prices and the old max plus price and only give me the new room price it would be fabulous. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

I thought that was the whole point of a discussion board

I’m envisioning locals only or DLR hotel guests only for attendance control. Hope I’m wrong.

To everyone participating in this thread: We don't know who will or won't be allowed back into the parks because Disney has not said anything official yet about when the parks will even be reopened, much less to whom. Let's get this discussion back on to factual information, please!

You’ll need to call Disney. I would do it ASAP before the layoffs commence in case they layoff phone reps leading to increased wait times.

When do the layoffs commence? I need to call to have my APs extended.

I am glad for this, thank you. I don’t see the point of speculating... it just makes everyone upset, likely unnecessarily since we have no idea what Disney plans on doing or when. At this point we don’t even know when our stay-at-home orders will be lifted. It’s crazy times.
