Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!
After weeks of back and forth between California theme parks and Governor Gavin Newsom’s office regarding safe reopening guidelines, we continue to see significant disagreements between the two regarding readiness.

Today, Governor Newsom noted in a press conference that there’s “no hurry” to put out guidelines, and “we’re going to be stubborn about it.” Newsom’s reasoning for this stubbornness is a focus on being “led by a health-first framework,” and “let[ting] science and data make that determination.”
Tonight, Disney has reacted via their twitter account through a statement from Disney’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pamela Hymel.
Hello, friends! It’s a beautiful day for a walk around Magic Kingdom, don’t ya think?

The big news about Disneyland recently has been the back-and-forth between park executives and the California government over the terms of reopening.

Despite the fact that Disney has used several channels to call for the Governer’s office to release theme park reopening guidelines, the government has yet to do so. Yesterday, we learned that there’s no promise of a specific date for guidelines in the future, and now Governor Newsom has echoed those sentiments.
