Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread

She has Ativan now, but we haven't gotten to try it yet. Now when I come to her with the meds to try and get a vaccine, she panics just at the thought of giving her the meds, sigh.

Yikes. Ativan doesn't work very well. My husband was given that to help his crippling anxiety and it literally made no difference whatsoever. That is a daily med, what your daughter needs is something to take only when absolutely necessary. They don't like to give Xanax anymore because of the addictive potential, but it is an exceptionally good medicine for people like your daughter who need it to undergo medical procedures.

We have an older prescription of xanax that we had for her but never used. I can look at the expiration on that.

It might be easier on her to try the meds separately from anything medical - just on a day she has nothing scheduled. That way she has a low stress situation to just see how the meds make her feel.

Does your daughter want to get vaccinated, other than the needle issue? My daughter is HF autistic, and had a major issues with needle (or any medical procedure) until she was about 19, and now she is fine. (Heck, now she donates plasma and platelets!).

Can she handle nitrous? Can that help with at least the dental issues? It is what made major difference for my daughter. But yes, therapy has to be a big part of this.

All that said, I seriously doubt vaccinations will be mandatory.

The thing with anxiety meds for panic attacks is that if you just take them and are NOT feeling really anxious or having a panic attack, they just make you feel high, which is a feeling that actually gives some people MORE anxiety. So, you definitely don't want to just pop.a Xanax on a low stress day.

The medicine works by forcing your heart rate and breathing rate to slow down and counteracting adrenaline. So, it works really well when you are in that fight or flight state.

Ah well that definitely wouldn’t work then!

Just heard on the local news that the state is holding off issuing any comment or guidance on dropping the mask mandates until June 15th. Not a surprise, but just an update since we were all waiting for the one on Friday.

(I should caveat that with, that’s what is being said today. We know it’s ever changing in this state )

I'm taking all of this with a grain of salt. If masks are dropped great, but Newsom said when he implemented the theme park guidelines that they weren't park of the tiers, although the restrictions were tied to the tiers. The infamous "green" tier never made an appearance despite lots of references to it. I could see theme parks still having more restrictions than the state in general since it brings people from around the country and around the world, to it's gates and mixes them together.

I read on Twitter he's waiting to see if cases go up after Memorial Day? Who knows.

Real frustrating to not know until June 15th about theme parks guidelines but who knows, maybe we'll hear sooner. I'll just keep trucking along and planning. If I have to push my dates out then oh well! And really I can make all my plans anyways so it's just waiting for that official "a-ok" for out of state folks more for peace of mind than anything. But hey, can we have some peace of mind already?!

I tend to agree with you. And I think the vagueness and talking around things is purposeful on his part.
It will be interesting to see what’s said and what Disney decides.

I think out of state folks will be allowed. And I personally think capacity will be lifted. I don’t necessarily think masks will be going away though.

Memorial Day is an interesting thing - 2 weeks after that is roughly June 15th, so if that’s true, then it really may be a decision made on that date.

Come on Cali folks- don't go crazy on Memorial Day!

But honestly with the rate of vaccinations being so high and the test positivity rate so low in most counties there... I think it'll be fine.

So many people seem to think that June 15 is the magic day and that on June 16 Disneyland will allow OOS people. I just hope people are not putting all their eggs in one basket and setting themselves up for disappointment

Well, we leave for Disney World in 30 days so definitely have my eggs split between baskets. All the Disney trips planned for us!

I'm just going to push my DLR dates back if it's delayed, no harm done!

 

[TikiTikiFan]

I think too if Newsom doesn't loosen his grip on theme parks we're gonna see a real interesting cost/value comparison going on with WDW.

No outdoor masks at WDW, physical distancing being reduced, shows and more dining opening up... plus rumors all over about EF and fireworks returning before the end of summer. I mean, woosh... the two experiences will look completely different and not in a good way for DL.

And didn’t even last the day with that news being correct CA to ease indoor mask guidelines starting June 15th

Who even needs Disneyland? This is a roller coaster all on its own.

I'm calling it now, on June 16, masks will be optional at DLR for guests.

No masks at all or just no masks outdoors? I could see the latter but might be a stretch for no masks at all.

I'm gonna go with masks optional in all settings/situations, with a recommendation to continue wearing them. By June 15, all CMs who want to be vaccinated will have had the opportunity. I think the outdoor mask wearing will be lifted prior to June 15, personally, like it has been at WDW. I give that one 2 more weeks.
