And listen, I would love to make your hopes come true, but as you know right now, life is full of disappointments. To wit, in light of the worldwide protests being made to speak out against widespread racial discrimination and in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, even the Disney theme parks have come under fire.<\/p>\n<p>A former Cast Member who starred in the <em>Frozen: Live at the Hyperion<\/em> show at Disney California Adventure wrote at length about his experience as the original Prince Hans. Cooper Howell, a young Black man, was cast as the devious Hans and goes into detail about the joy he felt at being cast despite the animated character being white. And he went into even further detail regarding the cruel harassment he received at the hands of the show\u2019s second director and the equally cruel dismissal he felt from the HR team at Team Disney Anaheim. This story is no doubt one of many among Cast Members who are people of color, and it\u2019s just as horrific as you could imagine. We\u2019re fooling ourselves if we think that Disneyland or the Disney theme parks are free of discrimination \u2013 enjoy your next ride on Splash Mountain \u2013 yet stories like Cooper\u2019s are profoundly infuriating and inexcusable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How Shanghai Disneyland Reopened\" height=\"343\"  src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/shanghaidisneyland-outdoorseating-socialdistance-700x343.jpg\"  width=\"700\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Disneyland, and moving away from the very real and necessary struggles going on around the world, you may be wondering exactly when you\u2019ll get to visit. We\u2019re all exhausted, we\u2019re all angry, and we all need a brief bit of relief at this point. So, Disneyland! Let\u2019s all head over there, right? Walt Disney World, as you no doubt have heard, is reopening in mid-July (as far as we know). And Disneyland\u2019s 65th anniversary is coming up on July 17. It\u2019s entirely possible that the anniversary is going to be the opening day, because Disneyland now has pushed back hotel reservation dates to July 15. The previous date was July 1, but now it\u2019s inched much closer to the 17th. Fingers crossed?<\/p>\n<p>If you live in Florida, of course, you know that there\u2019s plenty of theme-park options in June, with many opening back up. That, of course, is the good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. (The bad news is that coronavirus cases are going steadily up, but\u2026uh\u2026hey, look over there!) It\u2019s not just Disney and Universal that are reopening, though. On June 11, SeaWorld opens back up and will be implementing a reservation system when it does. Not every theme park that\u2019s reopening is going with the reservation system, which is, putting it lightly, A Choice. SeaWorld\u2019s doing things right, at least at the outset. We\u2019ll see how things go next week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Spaceship Earth 1\" height=\"395\"  src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Spaceship-Earth-1-700x395.jpg\"  width=\"700\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Lots of the old plans for theme parks are changing because of the coronavirus. If you keep up with the progress of the Walt Disney World theme parks, you know that Epcot was going to be heavily overhauled over the next couple of years. Many of those changes are still going to happen at some point, but \u201cat some point\u201d is the real operative phrase now. Take, for instance, Spaceship Earth. It was planned to go through a massive multi-year construction project. And maybe it still will! But when Epcot opens back up on July 15, so too will Spaceship Earth. The reconstruction has been delayed indefinitely. The original project was meant to run for 2 1\/2 years (yes, really), but in this new climate, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if any of the plans get scuttled.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s wrap up today\u2019s column with some genuine, lighthearted hope. Yes, really! A recent article in the <em>Orange County Register<\/em> highlighted a particularly notable question on a Disneyland survey sent to some passholders: what would you say if Disneyland was willing to deliver some of its iconic food items to you, a la DoorDash or Uber? What if you could get a Monte Cristo sandwich straight from the Blue Bayou or a turkey leg, via delivery? Now, this would likely be something only truly applicable to locals, but those of us scattered around the country can always dream for a mail-order meal, or a HelloFresh-style recipe. Like I said, we\u2019re ending with <em>hope<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/theme-park-bits-racial-discrimination-at-disney-reservation-dates-shifted-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Theme Park Bits: Racial Discrimination at Disney, Reservation Dates Shifted, and More&#8221; In this edition of Theme Park Bits: A former Disneyland Cast Member details the racial discrimination he received.
