Apologies if my comment came off as harsh or abrasive, that wasn't the intent. Let me explain.
I've been an active poster on here for about 2 years- and in that time I've continued to be blown away by the collective knowledge base seen on here as well as the quality of discussion. We have posters from each end of the Disney fan spectrum, from the purely magical to the overly cynical. Despite this, I don't think I've ever seen name calling, mud slinging, or rudeness that typically crops up in forums from time to time. All opinions are welcome and are often appreciated. There are a few reasons for this.
From what I've seen, TROR and I are the youngest posters on here by a good 15+ years. Many of the posters have been following the park online since Al Lutz was posting to Usenet, and have been life long fans and researchers of Disneyland. We also have a few insiders on here who are very well connected.
The most well known, at least outside the forum, is probably Darkbeer- who's extraordinarily well connected and has been filling us in on the political drama plaguing TDA and Anaheim right now. I was pleasantly surprised when reading archived Lutz posts from 2006 (sad I missed that period of Disney park online fan history) to see many photos attributed to him.
TP2000's neighbor lady continues to blow every other Disney fan site out of the water in terms of insight into the inner workings of TDA.
The most relevant to my original comment is the wonderful Give Me the Music- who has been sharing the internal goal opening date since the thing was announced. Just a month or two ago, she reported that the project is running behind, and crews are now working around the clock to meet the planned opening date.
When I say we don't need an estimated opening date from a front line CM, it's not to be harsh or condescending, it's because we already have far more reliable info on the subject.
