Walt Disney World Facebook page just added a link to "miner training" in 14 days and after you complete it it says come back may 18th is this a possible opening date? Or just a date for an announcement?

Training begins in 14 days (5/15?) but you come back May 18th to complete training? 
Maybe this is a sign of soft opening on 5/15 with a grand opening on the 18th!
WOO!
I want to ride SDMT for my birthday!

Man this is gonna be close, we will be there 15th - 22nd. Booked last year thinking we'd get to ride no problem.

Honestly, I concerned that we may not be able to ride it. We will be there May 27-June 3. Fingers crossed!

I'll be there the 14th-22nd. I think we should be good.
I don't know about you guys, but after watching the video, I'm totally excited about riding Little Thunder Mountain Mine Train!

Well, we are screwed since we leave the 27th. Can't believe it is not opening for basically another month!

You should be ok, goods odds you will catch a soft opening. If the official opening is the 28th, it should be running pretty regularly by the 27th.

That's good to know. We are there for 6 days (May 21-26, leaving on the 27). We may have to check in every day at the Magic Kingdom (on the days we are scheduled to be at other parks) in order to ride this. I have a hard time believing that the 7DMT will not be open for the Magic Kingdom 24 hour event that week.

I would recommend checking this site just before and during you trip to find out what is going on with soft openings. This should give you a good idea of when the best chance to ride will be.

Sure will. Just found this site about a month ago and am hooked. Has really helped my planning!

I watched the dedication and it was just like a dull thud... Here are the Dwarfs and Snow White...and a golden pick-axe and fireworks...now come back in a couple week and we will be open... That was the most pointless ceremony I have ever seen... It did not make any sense to even bother trotting everyone out until you are opening the ride... ridiculous.

Tom Stags said it opens May 28th. I am sure next week may start cast previews (unless it already happened) and then soft openings.
