I won’t be there. A 5 year marketing gimmick isn’t enough to draw us back.

Not even for the TRON cupcakes?
There's a thin chocolate in the shape of a TRON cycle on top!!!
I have my ElecTRONica shirt. That’ll do until we eventually return and genie isn’t screwing the standby. Whenever that may be.

It was a Mel Brooks reference but more a comment that we sleep until spring before anything happens.
The gimmick might be that they add a little capacity without creating additional demand - the fanboys dream

I’m not sure TRON will even add enough capacity to make up for Splash being down…
At least we will have the train.

Having similar feelings, haven't made our annual WDW trip since before Covid and do not really see anything to draw us back. Your DLP videos however have us seriously considering a visit.

My kids are certainly pumped. It took so long to build that they are tall enough to ride!
They won’t be released until next summer but I’m working on a six part walk around of DLP looking at all the details inside and out.
Some of the rot from the US is starting to hit DLP but we still see better value there (that’s partly why we’re going back again next year). PM me if you want any advice or start to plan in earnest.
I couldn't imagine choosing the dlp over wdw parks, but if your going to Europe and visiting Paris of course I'd want to check it out. But if I was making a trip just for parks, I'd Def choose Florida....maybe if I tied in Europa and phantasialand I to a dlp trip then that'd be cooler than fl imo.

So what does "Spring" mean? I have a trip planned for mid-April. If not opened by then, I might as well move my trip. No point in returning in the Spring and it's still not open.

Where it (the large fake tree) would best block the views of the warehouse.
I can.

Just as real trees need roots, fake ones need foundations.

Note to self: Begin raising capital to mass-produce this prototype at 50x the size with an extra-long lawn dart needle for secure ground insertion.

In Disney speak, “Spring” probably means June 21, 2023.

Nah.
It will be opened by then. It’s a month from being ready
It's well known it will be ready way before Spring.
WDW is opening it on a marketing timeline, not a construction timeline.
Highly recommended.
I haven't been there in 4 years, and I'll still say DLP is so much better than anything in the swamps right now. It's. Not. Even. Close. To dismiss it over WDW is pure ignorance.

I was at WDW on October 1st last year for the 50th - walked away from the trip disappointed and dismayed.
Hit DLP earlier this year mid-30th and it pumped the air right back into my deflated Mickey Ears. Was not my first trip there, but was one of my best.
Someone in Paris knows something the people in Florida don't, it seems.
