Don't know why this media outlet is posting so late, this has been in affect for over one week now.
P.S. His winery is exempt from the closure

Looks like today it was expanded to be statewide instead of just the counties with the worst rates.

Really wish they had Elsa back in the old movie costume, the new one (especially if shes having to carry the cape part of it) isn't really as memorable.

Oh see, I totally disagree. I was not an Elsa fan from the first movie, but love her in the second! Her final "form" made her become one of my favorite Disney characters!

They made her look ethereal. Although obviously doesn't translate to walking around Epcot.

Well I live here, and it has been since before the 4th.

I guess it's helpful you got an earlier heads up.

It did not previously include all counties; it now applies statewide.

I see. Since I live in Los Angeles, we were included during the first round. Don't pay attention much too all counties.

The application statewide is new.

I'd like to think we all look ethereal walking around Epcot in July.

Your hard work isn’t going unnoticed, thank you for doing the grunt work for the unmotivated like myself.
I’m trying to stay positive that AP holders will get compensated eventually, but its getting harder by the day, and with every person saying its too late to opt for the refund.
Maybe we’ll get an update in early July 2021 and that’s what they meant all along

If it's true we're too late for refunds, Disney will probably have some kind of class action on their hands. People aren't going to risk losing thousands of dollars on the term "partial refund." No one knew if "partial refund" was for the three months closed, the amount of time you haven't used, or what. Our APs (x4) had just started in February for a short, President's Day weekend trip. I'm not going to settle for the refund if it was only for the time closed! Disney still hasn't given a straight answer on this. I can see easily getting the refund if you only had a month or so left on your pass and it ended during the closure. Sure! Send me a refund. But for those that were only a month in at closure? No, not blindly taking a "partial refund," especially when my current AP cost nearly $300 less than if I bought one today since we bought a voucher from SAMS when the first big increase was announced. All of this, of course, is in addition to the severe lack of services an AP is supposed to provide - almost anytime entrance, park-hopping, etc.

Newsom made it for all counties today, last week was just the largest counties, LA County etc.

Perhaps tell the whole truth, Napa wasn't a part of the original list of counties to close. More than just one winery in Napa.

It sounds like they're just making a contingency plan.

Yes sounds like contingency plans. I do wonder if they would announce a longer closure runway for themselves if they make that decision. Also wonder what role financial analysis would play in a decision like that. Isn’t post Labor Day to Thanksgiving the slowest time of year? They could always open beck up for holidays if numbers get better...

There is no availability for passholders for an entire month and no weekends for 2 months...But regular day tickets shows full availability. Disney needs to fix their mistake.

They really need to alter her dress so she can actually walk. I think the old dress was just as long.

Yep, I've been. The whole truth is subject to interpretation around these parts.

My brother and I went on Tower of Terror 26 times in one day 4 or 5 years ago. I’m thinking that record might be broken

I'm getting nauseous just thinking about that. You're a better man than me

We'll see if this quote goes as viral as all the negative Disney quotes and pictures.

The OC Mayor just said in his press conference, if there's one place in the world you should feel safe right now, it's Disney due to all the protocols and efforts they have put in place.

Mayor Demings apparently "endorses" Disney as being safe during today's conference.

It won't, unfortunately
I'll run with it though thanks for posting

Are the smaller fans you wear around your neck allowed in wdw right now?

I wore one last Thursday the whole time

One of the toughest parts of having to postpone our May 2020 trip is many more months of trying to avoid RotR spoilers.

Bloggers aren't making it easy either. Videos from DFB, AllEars, and others frequently include long, spoiler-y clips of RotR with no spoiler warnings.

Can't you just skip ahead or not watch that part? That's what I would do if I was that concerned about seeing something I haven't. Honestly if it was that big of a deal; I probably would avoid seeking out vlogs in starwars land or even dhs at all.

He must be certain guests are only coming from states/counties with very few covid cases.
