There is no way that they would finish just this section of construction early and open in Spring, right? I was hoping maybe timeline announcement was a case of under-promise but over-deliver? 
I'm just trying to squash any remaining embers of hope of this being open by late April.

It's a water world - starring Moana.
Moana's water funnel spin.
Moana's Water Jamboree.
Moana's Big Thunderstorm flume ride
Moana's river cruise.
Mad water balloon party - starring Moana.
Moana's underwaterharMagic.
Moana's flight over water.
Many adventures of Moana.
Moana's rainstormer.
Moan's family tree.
Moana's haunted undersea shipwreck.
Moana'a Hall of Demigods.
Magic flying canoes of Moana.
Moana's people mover canoes.
Under the sea - Journey of Moana.

Steels going up fast next door at communicore hall. At this rate I wonder which will be done first?

An interesting thought. I wonder how many people are holding off visiting WDW waiting for all the attractions being built to come online? Maybe when everything is up and working it may be worth seeing?

I doubt it factors into the equation all that often, but with EPCOT, the construction in the center of the park is so disruptive to the experience that I wouldn't be surprised if it actually does have an impact in that specific instance.

It's MOBBED at WDW now. Can you imagine how MOBBED it will be if/when the EPCOT work is finished.
Now with Park Pass Reservations, ALL 4 PARKS will be EVENLY MOBBED, there will be just fewer APers in the park!

Steel always goes up fast and makes the project look like it's moving along quickly.
When I found out this wasn't opening until late 2023 - ugh - I almost considered moving our trip. But that wouldn't work out due to non-Disney trips planned in late 2023 and early 2024.
Really wanted this (entire closure) all done and open, but alas, not happening.

I think the white pads are "architectural foam". They pour concrete over it and drive semis on top. They build freeway bridge ramps with it around here of late to my surprise. Hope it holds up.
Man, I'm going to have to bring a step-ladder in April and just gaze into the area, pretending I'm in it.

Looking at the 2021 attendance numbers, 2025 looks to be an eye-opening event for Disney. Only Magic Kingdom surpassed UO or IOA in numbers for 2021, Disneyland Park fell behind Hollywood Studios (well they didnt reopen until April 2021).

Let’s see what happens. The issue is, universal does not have enough rooms to make a significant dent in WDW’s business. I have not looked at how many non universal hotels are close to universal that could serve as rooms but I think there is still not enough.
I am guessing WDW resorts will gladly have folks pay to stay on site and go to universal because money is money.
