That seems just about the right time to soft open. No insider knowledge but it seems possible. I think Marni and others said March for opening soft openings could definitely begin mid to late February.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
Lol score one for Jim Hill, apparently.

(I assume this will officially be a soft opening)

What if instead of Rat it's the first time they test all the Harmonious barges at the same time in full force and they just want to limit the huge rush of people coming to experience and bask in all their glory... Ok I can't say that with a straight face, it's Rat.

Cast are blocked out of every single park starting that day for the rest of the month because they don’t update the blockout calendar more than a few weeks out. So I don’t think this is the big find that you think it is.

LBV drive would have rised to cross the canal like the way it crosses the DHS to Swolphin canal. Cost of manning another gateway and Skyliners cheaper long term running costs killed it.
Top of my head there were monorail stations proposed for the Yacht/Beach, Swolphin/Boardwalk and CBR.

I mean I’m not an engineer but:
In your plan you don't even need that final leg. Just have the end station there next to Boardwalk. It would give those Hotels slightly better access to it while also still being close to Epcot's entrance AND have plenty of space for the overflow line after the nighttime show ends. Would also possibly allow a Skyliner extension to other areas over the lake and beyond.

Would this in competition for the Skyliner or decades ago?

So sad what could have been
Very true. I was trying to placate anyone who resented the extra five minute walk to the park but that would have been even cheaper than my zig zag.
Way before the cable car.

Oh I'm sure there were plans at some point -- Yacht/Beach/Boardwalk seems like an obvious and relatively easy place (also one of the reasons that the claim that the Skyliner was necessary due to hotel placement didn't make sense).
I meant that I really doubt executives were ever going to sign off on the costs involved to actually build it. I wish they had, though.
It had gained more traction for a while and then cheaper options were looked at (trolley car, guided bus, cable car)
I’m waiting to see the effects on the long term master plan Covid has. Especially the east west connector (though again we’re wildly off topic)

AKL to AK and a DS hop correct were in the cards, correct?
Monorail to DHS was yes.

Could the new rail connection to Disney Springs spark a plethora of new transportation options?
Covid has obviously thrown a wrench into the system if that was the plan, but that the general idea?
