Disney and Universal will move to take action if they haven't started already.Even if we get a vaccine early next year, I don't see how Disneyland can open in 2021. I wouldn't waste a dollar on my spending out there...

Not that I have seen.I’m surprised Disney hasn’t responded yet... have any big theme parks responded yet?

CA will have its own vetting on the vaccine so that could slow deployment for those wondering how quick that might go in CA.Even if we get a vaccine early next year, I don't see how Disneyland can open in 2021. I wouldn't waste a dollar on my spending out there...
They don't have much of a choice right now.Dragging through the courts will take time and money, but it's probably the right move.
It’s the only option and it’s absolutely not the side Disney wants to be on (remember, they want to be the “reopening safely,” “face masks,” “distance,” etc... guys) but it’s their only option. And even so, it’s far from a guarantee it goes their way.Dragging through the courts will take time and money, but it's probably the right move.
Like I said before though Anaheim and anyone working for DL certainly cares. If nothing changes there is no doubt more layoffs will happen and Anaheim will be in deep financial trouble.It’s also worth noting that PR-wise Newsom is in a better position, given that new cases are skyrocketing in many other parts of the country except CA. Public “pressure” just doesn’t seem to be there outside of the Disney fan community, CMs, and Anaheim/nearby OC locals. People just don’t really care.
To be fair he's a Disneyland lover and would rather go there over WDW (and hit the beach in SoCal while there) but really he's pretty meh about WDW vacations at the moment, probably because we are coming off an AP year and went a lot. I don't blame him, so many other cool places in the world to see.My kids have also been to about half the states, countless WDW and DL trips, but have also lived in 4 diff states (AK, NE, TX, NY). They've loved all the trips we've taken, and are anything but indifferent to Disney. While they're excited about going back to HI, to Europe, etc, Disney (esp WDW) is still their favorite place to vacation.
However, I do think that the future world section of EPCOT doesn't have the same impact as it had in decades past now that we all have so much of this "futuristic" technology at our fingertips. I was watching The Imagineering Story again recently and it showed kids using touch screens at EPCOT. It really struck me how many of the things we considered "science fiction" 20, 30 years ago (or even less) are now mundane, how difficult it must be to try to keep future world interesting and engaging for today's audience, and how difficult it would be to install attractions there that don't quickly become obsolete. I think the rapid advancements in accessible technology are part of why our family has always spent so little time in future world. Luckily, all the other things at Disney (being transported to these fantastical lands, being able to stay "in HI," having the characters come to life) are still engaging and magical for our kids.
I don't think you can be confident in any move right now.the idea of sort of doubling down on Florida operations being a safe and attractive destinationa nd marketing it, etc. is interesting ... though for that to work they need to be confident in things not getting worse in Florida and actually do something legit for the 50th.
I absolutely agree. And the consequences are going to be grim to say the least, but I don’t see that story/angle getting picked up by the national media.Like I said before though Anaheim and anyone working for DL certainly cares.

Which is sort of sad IMO. It could though if more layoffs happen. The layoffs were picked up all over.I absolutely agree. And the consequences are going to be grim to say the least, but I don’t see that story/angle getting picked up by the national media.

This sounds like the public complaining book they’ve drawn from for the last couple months... that hasn’t worked
