Will this ruling impact the decisions he’s already made for Disneyland reopening in the yellow tier and the other restrictions? Or will that only be possible if they (theme parks) pursue legal action?
No, not right away. As the saying goes though (is it a saying?) You can't turn the train around until you stop its forward motion.Will this ruling impact the decisions he’s already made for Disneyland reopening in the yellow tier and the other restrictions?

I don’t think this decision will reverse any of his orders, but it does prevent him from issuing future orders that change laws. At least until the appellate courts have their say...I don't have full understanding of the situation, but it looks like the lawsuit was mainly regarding an executive order which Newson wanted the counties to send all residents absentee ballots. Does this lawsuit also pertain to the Disneyland opening rules?
Some good news...
In Tentative Ruling, Court Declares Governor’s Abuse of Power Unconstitutional
Hopefully this will lead to a more common-sense approach to opening parks. Unfortunately it will likely take a while since it is now in the hands of the court.
Thank you for this clarification -- it is very helpful to have the European perspective.Disneyland Paris is normally open 365 a year. They are just hoping for the Christmas holidays (the school holidays are approx. the same throughout Europe) to be open. That will be the only time they reach the max. of their limited capacity.
They will close the first 6 weeks of 2021 because it's very low season. During the week 5 minute queues for almost every ride. They had special seasons the last few years to persuade AP holders to come.
The weather is awful, usually cold and rainy and grey... It's probably cheaper to close.
We had the same in Disneyland Paris. I think you could get a map at City Hall, but you had to ask for it. All the normal distribution points were empty and they were promoting the app with every e-mail.
Take a look at the WDW reservation system that is currently being used. That should alleviate much of your anxiety. The WDW system (which Josh D'Amaro has said will be similar to the DLR reservation system) uses separate pools for on site guests, APs, and day ticket guests. (Note that all 3 groups are included in the reservation system -- Disneyland has already said that everyone, including APs, will be using the reservation system -- it is on the website and on the app -- it will not be exclusive to one group and exclude everyone else.) No one group is able to grab all the reservations for any given day. This should not be the mad dash/free for all that you are fearing.Does anyone here think there’s the possibility that, when they finally open, they will limit park attendance to Disney resort property hotel reservations only? We have our current DVC reservation for June (having already cancelled twice) and usually meet local family members for the week. I’m scared that if they can fill the 25% park capacity with hotel reservations, they might do it because that would be the biggest bang for their buck. Thus making our disneyland family reunion a “no-go”. Yes, there would be an AP problem to sort out, but per recent emails they are considering changes for the program.
Like LuckyRabbit says, looking at the WDW system it's unlikely that they will go for hotel guests only. Also looking at other themeparks across the world, but also zoos and museums (basically any place where you have APs) usually have at least 2 reservation systems, one for day guests and one for AP holders.Does anyone here think there’s the possibility that, when they finally open, they will limit park attendance to Disney resort property hotel reservations only?

I guarantee it’ll open after the election. Sometime within a day to 18 months ;-).Disneyland probably will open up right away after the election.
the sad thing is you could actually still be wrong.I guarantee it’ll open after the election. Sometime within a day to 18 months after ;-).
Yes and no. The ruling had to do with the Governor's executive order re: all mail-in ballots (so yes, irrelevant). However, the ruling also stated that all of the laws he is making without consent of the other branches of government are illegal - so he has to stop doing that. Things like the color scheme and deciding what can open under what circumstance (thus the relevance). Unfortunately, the ruling does not undo what he has done - it only orders him to stop.This has nothing to do with theme parks, it has to do with the election so it's very irrelevant.
Will Disneyland Paris open up as well? Do you really think every country is locking things down because they want someone in the US to win or lose an election?Disneyland probably will open up right away after the election.

This is a coincidence -- we were just talking about the trolley yesterday -- we've missed it so!Hmm I wonder if the trolley will be allowed to run when Buena Vista Street opens? It’s technically transportation right? Lol Or maybe they’ll use it for entertainment!

Surely we'll have a vaccine that's well into its distribution by next summer. One hopes.the sad thing is you could actually still be wrong.

Well, given that today is the election, if you bet that the parks would open up any day after today, you'd be a winner! So, @WonkaKid , I hope you placed that bet.I guarantee it’ll open after the election. Sometime within a day to 18 months after ;-).
