Rumor of opening?


Today they took down the Chadwick Boseman mural and put up the Raya one

The Raya one is cute, but I much prefer the Chadwick one!

I think that’s TERRIBLE to have done.

I’m guessing they wanted to replace it relatively soon before it became a permanent installation. They could have made it permanent, but they probably weren’t planning to.

That makes sense but man… :cry:

GotG, is the one that concerns me the most. My favorite ride so I hope they can figure it out. I honestly think the subs should be a big no no. Alot of the counterparts at wdw have been operational since day one so I’m have hopes

I’m bummed. So many of us weren’t able to see it! Maybe after Raya is out a while, they’ll put Boseman back up. I hope so!

I saw a rumor on one of the Disney groups that it was going to be moved to the Avengers Campus in DCA. I sure hope so :sparkling_heart:

That’s in AZ, you need to move another 18 miles west. Sorry.

Oh yeah! Whoops! You can tell it’s been too long since I’ve made the drive to Anaheim. :sob:

Snowbirding in the Phoenix area, Quartzsite is as west as I’ve been via auto (last year). That’s how I knew where it was. I am eagerly looking forward to the day when we drive to DL for a first visit while wintering in AZ - maybe in a couple years? I will gladly wait for a more fully-fleshed out version of DL for that first-time WOW experience.

Clearly I came to the right place this morning, how did it take me so long! I have been reading everything I can get my hands on! And it seems as clear as mud.

In some ways I want them to delay clarification as the longer they wait, the closer I think they will be!

So what if your Cali Aunt buys your tickets with her Cali residence? Lol. I can wait my turn but just saying I wonder if there are loopholes like that but I imagine they’ve thought of that and have a way to restrict.

My situation is:

  • I have a VGC reservation starting June 18th.
  • I have to decide whether to cancel and bank points by the end of April.
  • I could rent the reservation if the rules wont let me go, but this makes me nervous.
  • I live in Virginia.
  • I do not have park tickets.
  • I want to go to Disneyland (and southern california and just travel!) so badly I can feel it in my skin.

I feel like this is the last “learn to live with uncertainty, and then learn to live with it again” challenge COVID is throwing at me. Certainly a challenge of low consequence in the scheme of the last year, in which I have been extremely fortunate.

Yet it feels so emotional because each announcement gets my hopes up after I had learned to squash this hope, and each announcement adds a level of uncertainty.

Fingers crossed. Or I can go in on some CA relestate with @Jeff_AZ

Doesn’t the movement make a difference? So space mountain you’re moving all the time but Star tours you’re in one room. I think if they’re gonna do it that way movement should be a consideration

Dunno. ID at the gate? CA doesn’t have a travel restriction or quarantine requirement. Both are just recommendations. Maybe the Governor is trying to score a few brownie points since tickets will be so limited

Just wait until we get closer to the end of April and see what happens. CA doesn’t have a travel restriction or a mandatory quarantine. You can still visit CA. There is plenty to see and do. The uncertainty is what’s going to happen with DL. I think tickets will be challenging regardless because of the capacity limit and there is a pent up demand (look at how quickly Touch of Disney tickets sold!). Hang in there!

The concern most likely wouldn’t be the ride itself but the line and how much of it is inside.

As for ID at the gate, I can vouch that they have ID me when I have first used a ticket (although in has been inconsistent over the years). I imagine initially they will be pretty rigid to make the state happy.

Funny, though I am the biggest Disney fan in the family, I would be okay with a trip to LA and San Diego. But I like knowing, planning and daydreaming! DH really wants to see Galaxy’s Edge.

Right now I think there is a 10 day quarantine for recreational visitors to CA? I assume that will be gone by June.

By the end of April I know I will have better information to decide whether to cancel, reduce my reservation from 4 nights to 2 (reducing risk) or keep it. I really, really hope there will be some ticket priority for people staying on property, like when Galaxy’s Edge opened!

I"ll be fine - but this is the only place I can share fully!
