If the rest of the population (other than essential workers) start to get vaccinated let's say in April 2021, would Disney ramp construction back up so the ride would/could be open for the 50th (October)?

I think it depends more on revenue coming in and available cash flow than how much of the population is vaccinated and starting to travel again.

I am interested in how much walkable space this will add to Tomorrowland. Will the paths around Tron in WDW mimic those in Shanghai (including the elevateD walkway)? It seems like they have trees around the ride in Shanghai and a lot of open space. Have we seen how the area around this new ride will be configured? I like Tomorrowland but feel like it is a lot of empty space and I just wonder how this new ride will compliment or improve the aesthetic of the land.

Delaying Tron would be such a stupid mistake.

It's already delayed construction is slated to be delayed until October 2021. The canopy will be completed and then it goes on hiatus I do not expect Disney to re-start early unless tourism returns back to 100% w/in the next few months. With Zero International travelers coming back until maybe the 3rd if not the 4th quarter ALL of 2021 will be a wash with Disney keeping things at a minimum to preserve cash.

Looks like they are going to plan for 2022 to be busy and all restrictions removed.

Nothing you can do limited capacity, guests not coming the cash flowing in is very little (break even). You push off construction to preserve cash it's a sign of the times and something Disney needs to do as they now see 2021 looks to be a total wash and the 1st 3 and maybe the 4th quarter will see limited capacity. Add that Disneyland will not re-open until sometime in 2021. We can only hope restrictions ease by the summer and hopefully wide open by Labor Day weekend if not 2021 is a complete wash and expect more layoffs and reductions.

What it shows is Disney has no vision. In 2/3 years EC was under construction economy was in free fall. They opened Space Mountain during an oil crisis. Big Thunder opened in a recession year. Uni on the other hand is showing foresight and projecting confidence by going forward with Velocicoaster. EU is not comparable because it wasn’t far enough along. Disney can and should finish Tron ASAP. How do they expect anyone to show up if they don’t try to draw them back?

Universal Creative is a ghost town. Hardly a sign of confidence.

Considering the parks are filling to capacity, seems like consumers have told Disney they don't need to be drawn back.
