Well it would have been done in 2021…if they hadn’t thrown the brakes on it and now are “pacing”
That is the most inexcusable new trend of the Bobs era…slow rolling construction for “strategic purposes”
It’s part of the history of Disney parks: announce ride, build ride, finish ride, open ride. The people that are in the parks on the first day you can get them on it deserve to be on it. Period.
Now I’m gonna go outside and do some Tai Chi to calm myself down…

Y'all realize they can't open PLAY! with that roof!! Gotta replace it first.

Bob still searching for quarters to pay for that?
Like Mary poppins and the “headliner” ride in the Marvel land?

No building is safe until the roof has been replaced at least 6 or 7 times.

Something about PLAY reminds me of test track 2.0 now I think of it. They both have the same tron-esque, cyber aesthetic, but hit all the wrong notes with it.
Only difference is at least Test Track 2.0 has a decent ride underneath it's current mediocre theming that could easily be salvaged in the future with a new retheme. Play I'm not sure if it has the same luck.

Not everyone can be a fool that will praise anything

I don’t praise everything but I do remember when my kids liked meeting characters. This will be a helluva lot cooler than waiting to meet Buzz in the sun (and in more than one way). It serves a purpose. My only real complaint is that they should build a new simulator ride in the back.Not everyone can be a fool that will praise anything

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Is that back building just going to continue to sit?

I’m sure it will have a use but I’m unaware of any guest use. Break room? Storage? I don’t know.
What is that? (i'm sure everyone knows but me)

It was built out as more storage space.

So Jim thinks it will be open before they finish playing in the Moana dirt pile..

The biggest issue is that it would have made a lot more sense to leave the other half of Communicore standing and repurpose it into this kind of space. Then they could have used the former Wonders of Life location as some kind of new pavilion with actual attractions instead of leaving those attraction spaces shuttered.
That's a relatively simple change that would improve the spine and allow for more attractions; I don't really understand why they didn't do that.

We don't talk about Bruno
Moana's Journey of Construction will be open in 2023, too. Everything EPCOT that wasn't officially delayed (or quietly stopped being mentioned) is supposed to be 2023 -- unless they want to move the timetable up.
So, predicting it will open in 2023 requires no insider knowledge. Give us a specific month, then I'll pay attention... Jim.
