If you count from time of announcement then most of Disney's projects took 5-6 years, and most of Universals, 2-3 months.

This misses the point completely, of course. The issue isn’t just (or primarily) how long WDW takes to build something after groundbreaking, it’s the fact that they make much-hyped announcements and then drag their feet for months or years, using the announcement alone as a way to avoid making OTHER announcements. So Disney and it’s fans have been able to answer charges that the parks are stagnant by pointing to Tron for at least six years - considerably longer if we consider the period after opening in which it will be considered “new.”
Compare to Universal, where impressive additions like Bourne just seem to happen. This is one of the issues with the Moana area - if it were simply a nice addition that appeared, similar to Unis Speingfield expansion, it would be much more well received. As it is, it is a major part of a sweeping and very visible makeover of a deeply flawed park that has been hyped for years. On those terms, it’s almost guaranteed to be a failure.
I've never made the point that Disney generally builds things in a timely fashion or doesn't hype upcoming projects to their own detriment.
So, hope you and your strawmen are leading a very happy and fulfilling lives together. (By the way, just as a word of advice, all those strawmen look like a pack of fools... better check into it.)

So you just responded to a post criticizing Disney's build times with a cherry-picked set of build times that seemed to dispute the point because... you agreed that Disney's build times are unacceptable?
Only because they dared anyone to give a counter example.
The sentence above... I already said that. So, it's clear it doesn't matter what people say, you're going to continue to dance with your strawmen.
Good day, sir.

You typed “sir,” but that’s not what you said.

Original unaltered photos of the actual Pandora groundbreaking are subject for debate.

No mention of TRON in the annual timeshare commercial, which suggests a late 2022 opening at best.
But I for one cannot wait to see how they spin this in future promos, because Disney World advertising now is all about "immersing yourself in the worlds of/seeing your favorite characters" and Disney has deliberately made a point over the last decade to prove that they do not give a single **** about TRON.
Imagine Derek Hough stumbling his way through a script read where he struggles to name a single character from the franchise (pssst, Derek, one of the TRON characters names is....Tron....). Or Chapek getting a headache trying to wrap his bald head around what the TRON world even is while hyping it on opening day.
It's going to be amazing.

What they'll likely do is say that TRON was SO popular in Shanghai that they HAD to bring it to WDW.
That'll give them an excuse to pat themselves in the back for SDL and dismiss any recent treatment of the property.
Or they'll say they're working on the Disney+ sequel (just like how TRON 3 has been in development hell since 2010).

Maybe we will get Tron 3 before this opens. One can hope, right?
Or a Disney+ series.
