Got to give you credit it doesn't take much to spark up your optimism. It's just sad that it all means nothing. But, eventually it will become obvious. So, if it makes you happy... just keep on believin'.

I am shocked I got this one right actually. Though I shouldn't be.
2021 seems reasonably optimistic at this stage. WDW might even start vertical construction soon.
No, it's mid 2020. Before you claim they're a year ahead.

2020 for swl in orlando? You're joking right... What happened to 6 months behind DL which is projected with a late 2018 opening..
That is the current aim. Obviously there's a push to open sooner.

So was late 2018/early 2019 incorrect for DL's version

Yes, because they haven't brought any cranes on site for DL yet, oh wait....
.. and DL's basement for the battle attractions is getting rebar to prepare for the concrete walls but last we saw DHS's hadn't even started excavation yet. Note that I am not trying to convince you, because I know that's impossible, I am just trying to be sure a new comer doesn't stumble across this and believe what you say.
Also, some may point out that a lot of the DL work is for Rivers of America. True, but some of the ROA work will also form the berm for the land which will also have to be built at DHS, and has yet to be started.

Yup, and I might be given the title of breathing individual if they get here soon enough. Out of pure boredom, what exactly are you right about? I know I shouldn't ask, but, I have to know what logic, if any, you are using for your basis of opinion. Are we even talking about the same things here? 2021 is 5 years away. One could build a theme park out of toothpicks in that amount of time. So please tell me what the target of 2021 refers too?I am shocked I got this one right actually. Though I shouldn't be.

Wait, late 19 for DL?! That's a pretty big shift from the Late 2018 date that's been tossed around...you didn't possibly mean late 18/early 19?
Okay, I did some digging and asking. ThIngs have moved (this is how quick things can change)
As of today DL is summer 2019. DHS before the end of 2019.
DL is not 2018.

Is it still true that they want Mickey in GMR open by roughly the same time?
Last I heard was yes.

We had some folks here claim that Star Wars would not open at WDW until "2021 if at all". Even within the last few months certain voices were insinuating SWL at WDW might be canceled even though Iger has a 100% track record on his announcements.
One voice. Who's usually as wrong as you are.
But like clockwork you turn up and try and spin someone else's post.
So again, like Goof asked, what did you mean by 2021 is optimistic?

We get nearly real time updates from DL. The current status of the Florida side is not known. But we do know that it is moving quickly now and that less rebar and support structure will be needed. Also, once they drive in supports they can go vertical as is seen in TSL. DL infrastructure seems a bit different in this instance. Time will tell.

I was using 2021 sarcastically which, granted, I usually don't do.
And that "if ever" quote was not from 91. Rather it was 74. Said the same thing about Shanghai. And the FLE. And Pandora. And Disney Springs. And a potential 5th gate. And Marvel at WDW.
I see a track record here.
All I see is a broken record.
