LA Times - "Orange County could leap into yellow tier, with widest reopenings, as soon as next week"

They can also increase dining capacity indoors to 50% from 25%, so maybe more ADRs will open up.

Ugh, the availability calendar was just updated within the last hour and it looks like they opened a ton more capacity for the rest of May. I'm really tempted to cancel our trip this weekend. I can't imagine what the waits will be like with a 40% increase in visitors (assuming they are going from 25% to 35%, it would be a 40% increase).

We're going Thursday. Hopefully it won't be too crazy.

 

[wideeyedwonder]

We'll be at the Grand Friday through Sunday, and in CA all day Saturday on the Memorial Day weekend. Still looking forward to it (that's an understatement), even if they do increase capacity (although selfishly I hope they don't).

 

[midnight star]

I’m not shocked at all they opened up more spaces. They need money lol. If they can be at 35%, they will do 35%. No need to wait.

Will be interesting to see how the summer goes.

I just hope they adjust the ride capacity also so that the wait times dont just keep going up. Or open up fast pass again.

Told ya.

Not even a little bit surprised.

They can't raise ride capacity. It's 25% in both orange and yellow tiers.

I saw this info pic from Gothic Rosie. I think ride capacity is hindered by state guidance. But they could do outdoor entertainment. That could potentially help. We shall see how things are this week, weekend, and next week.

I doubt they are going to 35%, I believe they were operating at 15% before this increase, despite the fact they could have operated at 25%, so I am guessing it will be lower than 35%.

 

[scorpio69]

Ugh , we are going tomorrow and I see they have open capacity for dca at least

No, those lower numbers were for the first week only. They have been at 25% for a week at least.

 

[Disney0010]

I’ll take 35%. We were at WDW for five nights last week. It was very crowded. Disney won’t release the actual capacity but having visited the MK many times since 1971 when I lived in Florida, I know crowded and it was bad. Add low 90 degree temps, super high humidity along with face masks and it made for a less than enjoyable time. 35% sounds good to me. We arrive on 6/13.

See ya real soon! But we're OOS, so we just get VGC and DTD. However, we haven't been anywhere for 16 months, so it's good enough to get our toes wet for our first vacation.

I'm going Thursday, would love to hear your report!

 

[Bigmace]

Definitely encouraging to see capacity increased.

You've stated previously you live in Arizona multiple times. Why are you breaking Disney rules and state mandates?

Let Disney & the DISboards handle it, nothing in tippity's post broke the rules.

 

[btk2333]

Will be watching Disneyland's policies closely over the coming weeks.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

you had no issues getting in as an out of state resident? I'm visiting family in the area around the June 15th time frame and would love to get a day in DLR- hesitant to book park tickets and a reservation though without confirmation that the rules will change on June 15

You should probably take to this to PM. Any discussion of breaking the rules is against the board policy.

Board policy apploes to PMs as well.

No, it absolutely does not. I have had some PMs sent to me that would get people banned for life if they actually posted it, and when I reported the PM, I was told "we don't monitor PMs...put that person on ignore."
