Get your guesses in by Friday. I'm hoping we get some additional hints about the opening date next weekend. At least a narrowed down time frame like "Spring 2017".

5/8/17. Simply because it's the day we leave to go home after 8 days at WDW.

In looking over the entries again, I am encouraged by the dates chosen by the likes of @Magic Feather, @1023, @BrianLo and @twebber55.

We are entering the home stretch of "Avatar Land" construction so I thought it would be fun to start a thread dedicated to guessing the opening date of the new land. As you post your guess I'll go back and edit the first post in the thread to keep a running list. The person who is closest to the actual start date gets absolutely nothing of value, just bragging rights around here. Keep in mind Disney still officially lists the opening as a vague "2017". For a frame of reference, there was some thought that it might open on Earth day 2017 which is 4/22/17 (the original AK park opened on Earth day 1998). Easter is 4/16/17 so if they wanted to have it open in time for the spring break crowds it would need to be by 4/8/17. This thread is neither news or rumors, but I think it fits in the Avatar subsection. I'll understand if the moderators want to move it. Good luck to all participants.

Edit: one person per day so look at the list before picking. If you pick a date that is already taken ill give you the day before or day after.

****I'm going to put a deadline of 11/18/16 for new entries. That is the day before the Avatar D23 event at Contemporary Resort. I'm not holding out hope that they actually announce a firm opening date at the event but they may give some hints or narrow down the timeframe. If you haven't made a guess yet get your entry in before the deadline passes.

I'm still thinking 6/16/2017

I almost feel like there should be a "prize" for: correct announced opening day, correct soft-opening day, and correct actual opening day.

Get your guesses in now folks!

Guesses are closed. Based on today's announcement the June through Sept guesses are looking better. Technically Summer runs June 21 to September 22 but I would think they will push to get it done for the Summer busy season in July/August.

I wonder if they'd target to open for the July 4th crowds? Maybe my 6/25 pick has a chance after all
