I wasn’t a fan of it either. I am not a fan of the blame game, and don’t think it will play out well in the long term with their relationship with California.I wasn't a huge fan of Disney's wording in the letter to cast members about the layoffs either, seemingly blaming the California governments "unwillingness to ease restrictions" as a major reason for the layoffs. Sure, it may be true, but saying that in a letter that everyone will read almost makes it seem like "oh we didn't get our way? Well now you'll look like the bad guy when we lay off all our cast members!"
I have a lot of concerns about DL, there are some serious pinch points, even the crosswalks walking in from Harbor and Katella hotels where mask compliance would be lower and beyond Disney’s control. They would need staggered entry times IMO and that creates issues of people getting different values for a ticket that are the same price.
And yes it’s devastating to the economy and Disney has to be frustrated, I am not meaning to disregard that.
But the letter wasn’t a time for politics, it was a time to show great concern and appreciation for the hard work of 28,000. Disney should have focused on saying thank you and wish them well. Perhaps a quick word of reassurance to fans is appropriate, but even still, many life long dreams were ending, and that deserved their full attention and careful thought.
