Interesting that 2021 is an anniversary year for HKDL/TDS/WDW
I know we're wondering what Corona will do to WDW's 50th. Are 15th plans moving along in HKDL with it still being closed? Or is it too early to tell???

I love all the differing opinions! I thought Frozen 2 was just awful.

Yes but that's bad
Totally against reopening at this stage
Seems like the second wave of spread has JUST begun
Reopening now will only bring more harm than good
Hope they'd be more meticulous while considering

Agreed! Unpopular opinion, but I actually love Frozen II a lot more than Frozen I

Frozen 2 was straight up garbage. The plot was the most awfully and unnaturally contrived plot I have ever seen in a movie. I‘m generally easy to please when it comes to movies but I left the theater very disappointed. It was somewhat funny at least.
Also, the songs from the original movie are far more recognizable and popular than the songs from the sequel, that’s not even a matter of opinion, so replacing the sing-along with a sequel-specific show would be dumb. And I like the sing-along because the historians are funny.

Finally something! Where is this from?
GORGEOUS!!!!! I'm guessing this is new concept art? Where did you find this???? All we need now is a reopen date, then after that, a Castle/Castle Shows Premiere Date!

It's from an undisclosed video circulated around local social media bloggers. They'll probably make an official release during tomorrow's Legco panel. However, I don't expect substantial news during the meeting.
It was speculated that they were planning to reopen the park on April 1st (in line with US parks initial closure period) when people saw tickets available on an online travel agent called Klook. They have now changed the available date to April 16 but with the recent spike in coronavirus cases I don't think the park is going to reopen soon. In fact, the HK government and many companies will reimplement work-from-home arrangements again after the city enjoyed a period of easing epidemic situation.

Thanks! Hopefully they’ll also update the app map tomorrow!
Sad to hear its downhill again, hope things will look up soon!

I remain curious: if Gen 3 WDI can hit home runs and triples in more exotic architecture (e.g. Star Wars, Harambe, Mediterranean, etc.), why are they repeatedly incapable of properly nailing Disney's stock-in-trade, bread & butter style (Fairlytale European)? Shanghai Fantasyland, Tokyo B&B Area and HKDL castle all feel slightly off-key visually (to my eye), compared to the rich, harmonious stuff done in Paris in 1991.
I will always approve of this castle over its predecessor, but this latest rendering makes it look like it had a different studio animator assigned to each element, each in separate rooms with no communication, and said "we're going take what you come up with in your room, stitch it together and make no alterations to look like a single design."

Apparently it’s rescheduled yet again. The remaining meetings of this year are to be held on April 27, May 25 and June 22.

I’ve heard it mentioned that Toy Story Mania is being built. That is not correct, right?
The Avengers ride is still 5 years away probably, so maybe that’s why they didn’t mention it. The more cynical side of me is concerned that it’s been cut and that’s why some of the funds were diverted to a Frozen coaster.

You've kind of answered your own question. Why do more if people will still praise it and excuse it as fictional/fantasy/storybook?
This is GREAT NEWS!!!!! So is the Castle done now? Hard to tell outside the gates. I wouldn't be surprised if the Stage still needs work or needs to be built.
