If this is true they should be ashamed of themselves. Basically 1yr late is crazy.

Wow. Throwing in the towel on this one.

Maybe they are just talking about the dining. Nov 1 is 6 months out. This will be pretty popular.

I hope that is the case. The CM I spoke with told me it was show as well as the dining package not starting until May 1st. I asked her if that was coming directly from Disney management and she said yes. I am hoping she was just misinformed and show will start soon...

I don't think May 1 will be the official opening date. I can't see them announcing that as the official opening.
I would also be SHOCKED if this opened in 2016.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Well missing it by 6 months makes me feel better than missing it by a couple days. That's the only silver lining. I sent some sad faces to my new Instagram friend

I really do believe this has nothing to do with the show and its premier, but only to do with dining packages for the show. They can't open them up less than 180 out and May 1st is just a couple weeks beyond 180. Dining and show running do not have to take place hand in hand.

1) Why isn't Tiffins included as an option for the dining packages?!
2) If that guy just posted on his Insta that #thingsarehappening, why are we gonna wait till May 1st for this?

You have been saying it's about to open for quite a while.
They can open them anytime. And have. There is a reason they are waiting.
I would imagine they have built in a suitably large safety margin for this, to avoid any issues. The last thing you want with a new show with a somewhat uncertain reliability is to have dining packages booked. I am confident the show will open before May, without any dining packages.

I hope that the fact that Tiffins isn't included means that they are filling the restaurant pretty well. That's what I'd infer

How confident are you that it will be open in 2016?

I didn't mean to imply that they could not open the dining packages up less than 180 out, but that they should not. I wouldn't use the fiasco that was Jungle Book for reference though, that was a quick scramble hot mess to fill an unplanned space.
