So it sounds like they decided to prioritize WDW since Disneyland isn’t packed and swarming as expecting? I mean... the dates aren’t that far apart... so odd.
What's more interesting to me is that they announced it now instead of D23 next month. I mean why announce it now, that is the part that is odd.So it sounds like they decided to prioritize WDW since Disneyland isn’t packed and swarming as expecting?

As for why WDW over DLR, I assume it was a coin flip decision.

It's because it's relatively downer news. It's perfect for a press-release 6 months prior, but up on stage it would elicit some Awwws or Booos. Especially since everyone would be hoping that it would open at DL "any day now".
That I don't buy, I'm sorry. Its still going to be brought up at D23 anyways especially now because there are dates attached.It's because it's relatively downer news.

Where did Disney actually say ROTR would be opening in Fall? It sounds more like you believed a rumor instead of what Disney actually said, which was "later this year".I have to say I am let down by this. I bought a pass in June so I could ride this one with the expectation of the fall opening (that Disney themselves said) being honest. I will still be able to go on it for a decent amount of time, but having the opening of the major ride 9 months after the land opened is a bit of a letdown.

Agreed. I assume they announced it now in hopes that it's not too late to still convince people to book vacations at WDW for Dec/Jan. If you wait another month and a half before making such announcements, it may be too late for people to plan vacations in that time. Maybe at D23 they announce passholder previews at WDW for RotR or some contest to be the first to experience RotR?
Who says Disney is officially announcing anything about ROTR before D23? I take that info in the tweet of "real soon" to mean that we'll likely get an update at D23.
If anything I'd imagine they'd announce the same thing they always have about ROTR, "coming later this year" at D23 next month. D23 happens the week before DHS opens their SW:GE.
But hey, at least the ride poster looks impressive.
And how did I know you were going to bring this up. Yes I was wrong, it was an opinion they would save it for D23 next month. Big whoop....So looks like you re wrong... again. Lol. It’s like deja vu. This wait and see approach doesn’t seem to work for you. Join the “where there’s smoke there’s fire” team.
Maybe Disney is looking to get that 'crowds are crazy!!' press at WDW that they missed out on at Disneyland.

I'm not sure what you mean about the wait and see approach doesn't work for me.
