I'm sure it's because the videos & presentations are created well in advance. My company does a lot of expos far larger than D23, and to get an executive or busy team who edit & produce the deliverables to do so at the last minute is next to impossible. Back up plans for expos are typically, announce the product as planned and hold any delay announcements until after. That way, first and foremost we get great press and nothing needs to be edited so all goes on as expected with no surprises. Secondary, post press releases of updates or delays a few days/weeks later which will be a minimal business impact. Keep in mind the delays are only rumors until, as we just saw, it becomes an official press release.

WOAH WOAH WOAH....IS THIS THE NEW LANDSCAPING? <3RIGHT!? I was looking forward to riding UoE one last time, now Im learning it will be closed, as well as Mission Space (trip is aug 20-25 (gonna be in Animal Kingdom for the Solar Eclipse #EPIC))... This picture gives me comfort though, and I can always just ride Spaceship Earth 10X and be totally happyView attachment 216011

But FP for August has been unavailable for about a month. Interesting that someone was able to get FP for September yesterday. Doesn't even seem like Disney knows exactly when this will reopen.

That interesting... Do you know or does anyone else know how long this sort of thing takes? If this is only happening now does that suggest a longer wait till opening as per some of the latest or could we see it in a time frame hinted at in D23?

East Side's going to be pretty desolate without MS and UOE. for August and September....

Great *fingers crossed*
Yeah I'm betting it's a fat finger on the keyboard mistake.
Thanks for the update!

I was at the Parks Panel and this image was on the screen when they talked about the reinvent of Epcot of which they were only ready to discuss the first few pieces of...i.e. Space restaurant, Guardians, etc. Seems like we are getting a whole new Epcot...eventually.

Well fudge. I'm hoping for the 3rd week of September. Hate to lose another ride for our trip.

It would be possible for the attraction to reopen without the updated missions.

I am guessing that is from the internal schedule. The official site is still stating the ride is opening late summer 2017. Even if summer ends Sept 21st, I bet Disney considers labor day the end of summer. So a 35th-anniversary opening seems valid on Oct 1st.
Here is the wording on the official site:
"Mission: SPACE is closed for refurbishment and is expected to reopen in late summer 2017. Please check back here for updates."

Except at the Magic Kingdom where,apparently, Halloween starts in August.Well, in Florida, late summer does go well into December.
