^ Exactly. There's no control out there. It's a bunch of Karen's which is contributing to the whole mess that's going on.

Sad they're letting go so many of the musicians and bands. The Grand Floridian Orchestra out in WDW got their notices this past weekend. 2020 needs to end already....

Man this is terrible. Cast members are a huge part of the reason folks are able to escape and really enjoy the parks. They deserve way better. I respect D'Amaro for being present to apologize in person and take on that pain that laid off folks are experiencing. Wishing the best for everyone.

Disneyland Asks Governor NOT to Finalize Theme Park Reopening Plans Due to Unreasonable Guidelines
We ask the governor not to finalize guidance for amusement parks before engaging the industry in a more earnest manner, listening to park operators’ expertise and collaborating with the industry on a plan that will allow for amusement parks to reopen responsibly while still keeping the health and safety of park employees and guests a top priority. While we are aligned on many of the protocols and health and safety requirements, there are many others that need to be modified if they are to lead to a responsible and reasonable amusement park reopening plan.

Did he leave because he didn't agree with the pace of coming to a decision?

Disneyland Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood and Other California Theme Parks Push Back on State’s Draft Reopening Plan; Parks Would Open No Earlier than November Under Current Plan
The plan, which is being revised, stated that individual theme parks could only reopen once their county reached the least-restrictive “minimal” risk level and only at 25% capacity, with only residents living within a 120-mile radius of each theme park allowed to revisit. With theme parks being part of the last tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy means that guidelines may not change until the end of the pandemic, postponing reopening for weeks or even months.
The draft guidelines likely would prevent California theme parks from reopening for weeks or months, as MacDonald explained:

Just got back from the employee, “Company D” store. Today was by appointment only. Took advantage considering it could be my last. Picked up a few things for my little nephew to rock during the Christmas holiday.
Can’t beat that kids $7.99 price for the Christmas spirit jersey,
Couple of tees for myself, which were only 10 bucks each.

I wish I would've gotten a pair of the Paranormans back in the day. Would've always been my Mickey halloween kicks.
