CA residents only, too.
I dunno. I'll be at full efficacy on my J&J shot by then, so I'm honestly a bit tempted. Sounds like I'll be able to go on Rise of the Resistance too, which was my chief concern relating to the guidelines they're supposed to be following.

I’m wondering what would stop them from offering vaccinated individuals priority ticketing. That’d be a great way for them to safely open since it should still only be open for CA residents for a period of time.
I would go if they prioritized vaccinated guests first. But who am I kidding it’s Di$ney were talking about.

It will definitely be better by then, but anything can happen between now and October.
The language they used was super ambiguous and it was expected that many partially or entirely indoor attractions would be allowed to operate, just on some kind of case-by-case basis as approved by the state. A flat ban on all indoor attractions doesn't make sense if the parks are allowed to open, it would reduce capacity to the point that it would expose people to more risk than they would be otherwise.
Definitely if you live in California, maybe not yet if you don't.
Lol. Disneyland at a quarter capacity with no kids. I'd pay triple.
It was horrible on the site to get tickets for Touch of Disney.
I liked to go the first day just for nostalgia but I'm not gonna be on 6 or so devices trying to get tickets
Most adults who go to the parks now the tips and tricks on how to not end up waiting in long lines. I go to Disney about 7-8 times a month and I never wait more than 20-30 minutes for anything. Usually I go, have a few drinks and a snack, go on a ride or two and leave. In and out in a few hours.
I think this can probably be done with relative safety. Parks are naturally outdoors, where spread is known to be low, even in more crowded situations. The risk is for those key chokepoints. I've never been to Disneyland, but thinking of Disney World, I'd imagine rides like the haunted mansion where there are natural choke points of small, closed-in spaces like the indoor waiting room, or points where a queue narrows down from a wide section into a single line and people pack in, and those will have to be redesigned or controlled. Aside from the park/ride design, we'll be about 6 weeks further into vaccination, and if cases continue to remain stable and declining, especially while weather warms and indoor activities shift outdoor, April 30 could be relatively safe.
If conditions change, though, I'd expect Disney will be flexible with this. I feel like we've had a dozen articles since last March of "DISNEY IS REOPENING TOO SOON" and as far as I know, they shifted those reopening dates for whenever state regulations around public health required it.
Does California have a "vaccination record card" or something that is secure? I know Israel has something called a "Green Pass," where everybody who has been vaccinated gets a secure, personal card, physical or digital and access to certain places requires vaccination. But Israel also has very different social policies than the US where that sort of system or even the philosophy behind it wouldn't fly here, not to mention that Israel is at like ~80% vaccination rate, while the US (which is much much larger) is at ~25% (which is still among the best in the world).

Kids aren't being vaccinated, the vaccines aren't approved for children, so how does that work for kids in school?

They mean like how kids have to be vaccinated to go to school. Adults should be vaccinated to go to Disneyland.
I just went to Disney World last week and felt extremely safe. Much safer than I do going to the grocery store.
Kids are not being vaccinated. The teachers are being vaccinated. No vaccine has been approved to give to kids yet.
they aren’t talking about the covid vaccines for kids. Normal vaccines that there are records for that kids have to have
We don't even know what's going to happen in a month. By autumn we may very well have new variants requiring new vaccines which take time to develop and approve. I wouldn't make any plants that far ahead at the moment.
Don’t compare it to a grocery store. Signed, someone who has had to work in a grocery store for the past year. If I could have the sort of support Disney gets for safety, my life would not have been a living nightmare.
Gonna be hard but it’s only california residents so only 20ish million within the area and many will be working and still reluctant. Gonna be hard but not impossible if you want to go.
Disney World in Florida has and Disney Japan (not sure about euro or china). Disneyland in CA hasn’t.
Spread in SoCal is going down rapidly and is largely and unfortunately concentrated in lower income communities that aren’t going to afford the prices. Disney isn’t going to be a major vector. For better or worse
Do they need to hire thousands of people and train them, since they got rid of so many longtime employees?
