DLR REOPENING SUPERTHREAD (DL & DCA TBA; VGC POSTPONED; DTD OPENED 7/09/20 & BVS 11/19/20): KEEP CHECKING FIRST PAGE FOR OFFICIAL DLR UPDATES!

[theluckyrabbit]

HT: @mentos for noticing this change on the DLR AP Blockout Calendar page yesterday (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/).
No speculation here, please -- take that to the other thread on the other board -- but this is interesting.

The AP Blockout Calendar Page (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/) has changed -- Sig+ and SoCal Select no longer say "Not Available for Sale" -- but they are still in the same odd order with SoCal Select between Sig+ and Signature,

You can find the information about the current pause on the sale of new DLR park tickets on page one of this superthread, specifically in posts 4 (posted 6/10/20) and 5 (updated 6/22/20). Checking the first page of this thread is usually the quickest way to find the most recent information about official DLR announcements.
When DLR announces that new tickets and APs will be for sale again, you'll see it posted on the first page here!

Ok - thanks.

From WDW today (6/24/20):
2021 Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Packages Available To Book Today
From that article, please note, "It's also important to remember that booking a 2021 package DOES NOT guarantee theme park availability."

Please post discussion about this topic in the Reopening Speculation Thread on the Disneyland Community Board.

Disneyland park and the hotel reopenings are delayed. New date to be announced sometime after July 4.

As long as all California parks are treated this way I don’t see any issues. Let’s see if it impacts our November trip

I thought Grand Californian and Paradise Pier were approved to open on July 23... will they still open those up or delaying opening?

They are now delayed because of the park reopening being delayed.

Thank you for posting this. I've updated the first post on the first page.

And here is the DIS article: Disneyland Resort Pushes Back Reopening for Theme Parks and Hotels

The second paragraph of that announcement says that the opening of those hotels will be delayed, too.

It is hard news for the other theme parks (USH, MM, Knott's, Sea World, Legoland), too, because they were asking for a July 1st opening date. Guess this means the answer is no.

Well just saw a youtube vlog talking about disney pushing back the opening date for Disneyland, so it will not be opening on July 17/20. this seems to be confrimmed for the news article posted on the main page of the DIS.

Disheartening but for the best.

This would be something nice to look forward to: Legislation Introduced Would Allow $4,000 Per Adult Tax Credit for U.S. Travel
Dream a little dream...

Unfortunately, experienced Congress watchers say this is not something to be counted on... The odds that we will be able to use this tax credit are probably less than 1 percent. I definitely wouldn't make plans assuming that the credit will exist.

Mod edit: This information is for WDW.

Has anyone heard anything on rider swap?

I recently contact Disney for my DVC reservation and asked about rider swap and DAS since have my 1 yr old going and my mother-in-law who has MS and was told both will be available when the parks open.

Disneyland reaches deal with employees on reopening process:

https://www.bizjournals.com/losange...nd-reaches-deal-with-employees-reopening.html
Takeaways:
-Disneyland cast members will receive two weeks sick pay if they have a confirmed case of Covid-19,
-Employees will be required to conduct an at-home Covid-19 assessment before going work and will be provided a thermometer.
-Workers who must work within six feet of Disneyland visitors will be provided a plastic face shield.
-Furloughed workers concerned about their safety can decline the first recall notice and continue to remain on furlough and receive benefits, according to the union agreement. Disneyland employees who decline a second recall must go on an approved leave of absence or face termination.
-The agreement also stipulates that full-time and part-time employees must be called back before Disneyland’s college employment program is reinstated.
