What was the point of this ?
No typo here...as I've heard Moana may open before the spine but the aim is for the spine to be ready for one of the earlier festivals. Which makes since since most of it is a Featival centerPlease tell me 2024 was a typo
Maybe with Iger in there there be a push to open earlier but ny source doubts it. Disney has staggered openings of new attractions between both resorts. You will probnot see a new attraction open the same month on both coast.I had to read this over several times to be clear you said 2024.
To which I say...what?!
How asinine…Maybe with Iger in there there be a push to open earlier but ny source doubts it. Disney has staggered openings of new attractions between both resorts. You will probnot see a new attraction open the same month on both coast.
The earliest may be festival of Arts 2024. Again the grand opening needs to coincide with a festival opening to have the largest "impact"
Maybe if you’re just an impatient fan. But “new” attractions, services, products, and events are marketing gold.How asinine…
Oh I’m aware. I’m just getting really annoyed with how long it’s taking them to build things now, even if it is for marketing/profitability purposes.Maybe if you’re just an impatient fan. But “new” attractions, services, products, and events are marketing gold.

To be clear, it sounds like you are saying that JoW will open in late 2023 as has been previously announced (despite being possible to open earlier). But the overall spine project (the hall, Walt statue, etc) won’t be finished and open/dedicated until mid 2024. Is that right?So at this time it looks like a journey of water could be ready to go by August 2023. However like the railroad it will more than likely stay almost finished until the end of the year. They could easily open it up before the rest of the spine opens up. But we know how Disney does it these days.
Expect most of the Moana construction crew to be pulled over to the main spine very soon to ramp up construction on that. A Memorial Day 2024 Spine opening dedication is the plan at this time. However, April could be in the cards. Time will tell.
I am really disappointed in this whole spine project. So many years under construction for little more that a walk through “attraction”.
In my opinion, we lost more than we gained here.
Now we know you're trolling.Fountain of Nations > Journey of Water
That comment says FoN is greater than MJoWNow we know you're trolling.
Or it could be an arrow. FoN to Journey of Water. That would be an accurate unbiased statementThat comment says FoN is greater than MJoW
From the moment I heard the fountain of Nations was going to be bulldozed, I thought all they needed to to is to update the fountain technology and perhaps add a water screen and make it a legitimate attraction. I mean I liked the fountain they had, but they really could have plussed it.Fountain of Nations > Journey of Water
They destroyed the fountain they had with a cement wall and stage which kept people away from it or being able to see the fullness of it being a fountain. Then there was the lack of upkeep, and lack of space to view its shows... which shows were minimal in the end. It never was in the center of the hub, which it should have been, but instead set between the pinch points of the SE and SW buildings, with the protrusion of Fountainview (another mistake in design) pinching the flow of guests even further.From the moment I heard the fountain of Nations was going to be bulldozed, I thought all they needed to to is to update the fountain technology and perhaps add a water screen and make it a legitimate attraction.

It was a mercy-killing.
