Disneyland Reopening Speculation Superthread

[WonkaKid]

As many of us have suspected - and I’ve been resigned to for months - it doesn’t look like DL will open this year :-(.

This is one thing I wish I hadn't been right about. I am not sure that my prediction about spring will be, though, unfortunately.

I know Micechat isn't "official," but they're quoting official sources here:
Chapek aimed the blame squarely at the state of California, expressing his disappointment at Disneyland’s inability to reopen. Disneyland is expected to remain closed through at least Disney’s 2nd quarter (which runs through March of 2021).

Found your earlier post about this (see below). You are right that it was after your expiration date (the post is dated 9/20/20) and about what the CM told you at that time. Sounds like it might be time to call again to get updated information on this issue.

Thank you. I think DH is off tomorrow so I'm going to have him call again if he is.

Remember the first theme park to reopen in CA under the new guidelines? Well, that was short lived...

What I find especially interesting about the latest non-reopening news is now Disney has finally taken the gloves off and they're opening saying how frustrated they are with the state of California over this. Prior to this, they've been, overall, pretty quiet and when they have said anything, they've been really polite. This is basically like them saying "You suck!"

California, Oregon and Washington simultaneously announced a Travel Advisory for Non-Essential Travel for their residents on Friday morning. The advisory urges people coming to California from other states or countries to self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival.

I wouldn't have said this a few weeks ago, but it doesn't seem like this would be a good time to reopen considering the surge in Covid cases nationwide. It could be that CA's tight rein may not have been such a bad idea and maybe the speculative ideas we hold as onlookers aren't as good as the insight of those with the full information on Covid.

I disagree - safe is safe. The numbers in FL back in July were much worse. No cases were attributed to the parks being open. The parks being closed is like putting a band-aid on your elbow when you have a cut on your finger.

Are they able to say with certainty that no cases were related to the parks since there is no contact tracing?

Hmm. BFF and I are flying in from Arizona on 12/4 to go to DTD, flying back on 12/5. Self-quarantine for 14 days is NOT part of this plan.

I really have the itch to go to Disneyland this weekend

"Urging" people to quarantine for 14 days is far different than in Hawaii, where you MUST quarantine for 14 days (or test negative for COVID no more than 72 hours before your arrival), otherwise Hawaiian law enforcement will arrest you and you face up to 6 months in jail and/or hefty fines.

Same as here in Canada, 14 day quarantine is mandatory, you must have a quarantine plan in place to give to customs when you arrive, they call you several times during the 14 days, fines steep and jail time is also possible. They're not fooling around in Canada or Hawaii.

You’re correct. Without contact tracing, there are few ways of knowing whether any cases were related to spending time in WDW.

The parks being closed is the best call for Disneyland and CA at this point. The numbers are going up

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/business/disney-world-coronavirus.htmlOK, well, you be the judge.

Do you really think people are going to admit that they got COVID after they went to WDW? I highly doubt it, and I don't trust FL to be honest about things since they were so quick to open things up. I think we are in a tough spot, but Disneyland being closed is the right call, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Numbers are going up because testing is going up. However, in Maricopa County, at least (I get a daily update through an app), positive tests are declining as a percentage of the whole (two months ago the positive rate was about 13.3%, and as of today, it's 11.1% - and that's the percentage since the beginning, so a decline to that degree means that the overall decline is even bigger), and deaths are on the decline as a percentage of cases, as well. A "case" is just a positive test. It doesn't mean that the person who was tested is even sick. COVID-related hospitalizations have remained relatively flat. I can't imagine that Maricopa County is an outlier in this regard.

Hi fellow Maricopa County-an! (I guess that's actually an assumption on my part).
