Whether the ride is long or short or well done, I'm still gonna ride it for the views from the top.
I think the issue is that the swinging looks very slight. However, I bet like a lot of rides, you REALLY notice the swinging when you're riding. I mean the Teacups don't look like much, but next thing I know the kids are yelling at me to go FASTER and I'm wondering if the recently consumed toppings bar feast has chance of staying in my stomach.

Does it seem likely it will be done by April?

The rumor is that Spring Break/Easter Sunday 2014 is the target date, and Easter this year is April 20th

I think it will be one of Disney's best when completed. The New Fantasyland will truly live up to its "hype" when everything is said and done! Bravo Disney! Looking forward to 2014!

When is Spring Break this year in March? We are heading down 2nd week of March and hopefully will maybe get a soft opening.

Well for grade schools and high schools spring break is usually the week before Easter, so like Sat April 12th to Easter Sunday April 20th, Collages have spring break at various times usually in the middle of their spring semester.
So "if" Easter is the deadline, I "guess" it's possible to have a soft open in March, but I don't know for sure, and don't have any inside info, I'm just theorizing on what seems plausible

Yeah I was wondering about college spring breaks, I had figured the week of Good Friday is when the grade/high schools were out and some even the week after Easter(here locally they are off Good Friday til Friday after Easter)

I'm guessing it'll be closer to Easter, because it's a fixed date that families with children can, and usually do, book a trip around. I know any time there's a day off for public school kids there's also a up tick WDW attendance, like Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas week, MLK weekend, President's day, Columbus day, ect... Easter week is another big break for kids and families, and since the Mine Train is meant for families it just seems to me they would want to try and get it open by then

I'll be there april 6-8th im hoping its open by then!!
Is that an American thing?
In Ontario, March Break is not tied to the Easter weekend in any way. March Break starts (and has since I started school 36+ years ago) the 2nd Saturday of March and runs for 9 days. Occasionally, the Friday before is deemed a P.A. Day, thereby making it a 10 day break.
My son's b'day is March 12, and generally fell during March Break. My nephew's b'day is the 15th, and 100% of the time occurred during the break.

Yes. Most US schools run their week long (not 9 days) spring breaks either starting or ending with Easter weekend.

If I'm not mistaken, the 9 or 10 days that she is referring to includes 2 weekends.
It's only 9 days here, because it's book-ended by 2 weekends. Only five actual days out of class, unless they add the P.A. Day at the front.
For fun, I just googled it. Apparently the dates here vary by province.
I've never seen spring break tied to easter. Most schools in the US that I am aware of just have a week in March which is their typical week. Texas schools are always on break the second or third week in March.
