No idea how anyone from Ghaly's office went to FL and toured the parks and could come to the conclusion that there was any reason to keep the parks closed. I have to say the folks here had it nailed - there was never a negotiation or even a discussion with the parks. So mad right now.
Not yet. Of course I am expecting it.Has anyone received an official cancellation of an on site stay, hotel or DVC, for later than 10/31/20?

Wondering if we will get the usual round of Thursday cancellations today. Sigh. You probably won't hear anything for a little bit longer, unless Dapper Days sends out an email.Not yet. Of course I am expecting it...
Those large chunks are missing for a specific reason, unfortunately. It is a problem that is being worked on which we hope will get cleared up soon. I know it is aggravating, but there really is a reason for it and we really are working on it. It does seem to be getting a little better, slowly, so we'll see what happens.I think this is better than coming back and having large chunks of posts missing, which is what is happening currently.
So I am trying to understand this adjusted case rate.... almost every county has an adjusted score... but Orange. The score they have is for both. If you adjust it like the others, it's like an average of 5-6 points, they would be orange.....
They are running out of days to reschedule reservations. Reservations can’t be made past January. I want to reschedule my GCH reservation for March, but can’t yet. And I don’t want to outright cancel because I don’t want to lose my discount from already being forced to reschedule.Has anyone received an official cancellation of an on site stay, hotel or DVC, for later than 10/31/20?

Same. Now, I can't go until March. Keeping the discount would be ideal, but I would be happy to even be able to schedule it.They are running out of days to reschedule reservations.

I assume you will need to keep rescheduling month by month like in the past to keep the discount. I have Nov. DGC reservations. Having moved 493 times since March. Lol. I am hoping when I call (not if) that there will be some new policy in place for those of us who have stuck with the program all these months that will extend into the new year. I usually feel better after speaking to a CM about it. Maybe a call would help you. Its very fluid each time to say the least, so I am waiting for a bit for things to settle.Same.

Can I suggest admin start a sticky thread that has a list of contact info for the Governor, Orange County, etc. so we can encourage everyone to participate in a letter writing campaign if they so desire? It would have more of an impact than posting in the regular threads (and might end the back-and-forth political discussion - BONUS!)
Done! Thanks for posting this!Knotts also posted a link on their website where you can write a letter to the governor about the park closures.
That's not what Ghaly said on Tuesday, and I can only take him at his word. He said the parks are doing a great job, but that they will attract a lot of people from out of the area, and they have no control over those people once they leave Disney property. I encourage you to watch the CAPA news conference that was linked a page or two back if you haven't done so already - REALLY excellent and thoughtful and they refuted everything Ghaly had offered as reasons to keep the parks closed.This article was posted by MiceChat one day before Yellow Tuesday (a phrase I’m borrowing from FreshBaked, haha). It correctly predicted the inspectors were not going to find favorable conditions because they did their ‘secret shopper’ style inspection at the worst possible time. It was done right before WDW put up the signs saying people would be asked to leave if they werent complying with the mask rules, and shows how rule enforcement had seriously been declining at WDW and crowding at DTD has gotten out of hand. I knew then that if even MiceChat was admitting this that odds were good the state wasnt going to give Disney a passing grade and unfortunately MC turned out to be right.

There is also Alameda County to compare with--it includes Oakland and has done very well. My last post about this was deleted so I will avoid the why, but if you look at the most recent data we are doing very well and moved to orange last week. We appeared to actually be in yellow this most recent week, but I think the adjustment kept us in orange. Here is the link: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID19CountyMonitoringOverview.aspx You then hit" "California Blueprint Data Chart," which gives you the excel download.

Speaking of, can we talk about the closing comment from Legoland for a sec? I think that, more than anything got to the heart of how obscene the reopening guidelines are. His question was, OK, we open at the final stage, but at 25%. Since there is no stage beyond yellow, when will the parks be allowed to operate at a profitable level? After all, by the time we get to yellow, indoor malls will have NO restrictions, and are allowed to open with restrictions right now, even in purple. Frankly, all things being fair, I think the state restrictions point to the parks being allowed to open in red since restaurants and theaters are allowed to open at 25% capacity in red, and that is about the riskiest thing you can do in the parks right now. Everything else is outdoor or much shorter duration.

Las Vegas is back to the regular Sunday 10 mile back up of Californians returning home after a weekend of doing the "Viva Las Vegas" thing. I'm pretty sure there is far more of a spread from that crowd than what Disneyland would have. I just find the whole thing selective and odd. At some point, people have to be allowed to make their own decisions on how/when they will risk contracting COVID.
