I have conceded this won’t open by my August trip, but still holding out hope for the WDWRR to be open!

Wow. Those guys are a lot braver than I am installing that stuff. I don't like getting on my 2-story roof just to inspect shingles!

I can point you in the direction of a good 12-step program.

Still wondering the odds of opening by December. 25% chance?

I love the "stacking" of rides that is so prominent at Disneyland.

I think it would be a miss to open this much later than the start of the FY rollover near the start of October. Not an insider, just think that it would behoove the company to finally wrap up this 5 year long project asap. Try to get exterior work done before the really oppressive weather sets in.

Not if they can roll over some of this cost onto the next FY.

While a good point, it just makes me wonder how much 'cost' would actually be added next FY considering where the project is today. I mean every penny counts I guess, but still, there's a line I would think.

They still have theming to do and a ton of other things that will require money.

Well MK Tomorrowland does decent with that with the Peoplemover and elevated Astro Orbiter.

Didn't you all hear the recent announcement? There was a typo in the release schedule for Tron - It is scheduled to be open by WDW's *60th* anniversary, not the 50th. Small error, no big deal.

99% chance. It should be done by this summer. I’d guess a September 1 opening, and a July 1 opening for the railroad
