I couldn't remember how long they'd been open and when the last event was. If they were already picked up, I don't think they'd repeat.

If they would add some to Disney Jr, I'd consider that a true upgrade. The older I get, the harder it is to sit on that floor.

Volcano Bay is opening May 25th... right smack in the middle of this event... interesting timing...

Its pretty obvious Disney wants to take press away from Universal and Volcano Bay. The question is what press is going to go where?

Indeed... opening of Pandora could get big crowds, otherwise, it's tough to imagine what Disney could announce that would compare with the opening of a new highly themed waterpark.

Wonder what WDW will do to counter VB? FOF and Frozen Summer when Potter came to USO. MSEP came back to Orlando when Potter came to Orlando.

Obviously the unveiling of the Trump AA in the Hall of Presidents.
Seriously though, Pandora and RoL for starters.

Did you forget about Pandora? Pandora is all they really need to counter with especially if its as good as it sounds.
Martin confirms, new Fantasmic show to be announced.

"Look we have slide shows" vs "Come to the grand opening of a brand new theme park". Will be interesting to see how much noise Uni can create with this grand opening.
Think Disney might try Avatar media walkthroughs even if it's not ready to open?

Thinking through this, I'd be surprised if the 7 day event was for the full contingent. These events typically invite a huge amount of media folks who come "off the clock," with the mouse banking on them feeding material to their social channels. The Nielsen May ratings period doesn't end until 7am on Wednesday, May 24th, and television stations very, very, very rarely allow time off during ratings periods (Feb, May, July, and Nov). I'm wondering if the bulk of the event isn't Wednesday through Friday, with the public grand opening of Pandora on Thursday or Friday morning (presumably the morning after what I'm sure will be an incredible evening party, if the FLE and TT launch parties were any indication).

Possibly but I've got to think it's going to be very close to ready if they are scheduling for this event.
