[jrhwdw]

It is opened at WDW first???

This surprised me too. DL can't make Christmas 2019??? They should be working on it now with SWGE opened correct?

California safety laws are tough?

Pulled this from the DL thread, from parks blog...

"As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, Jan. 17. "

Eeek. Good thing they didn't announce them publicly. Like that time with that one show...

Although this goes beyond the original "Fall 2019" opening for DL...

If this true, MSEP might be around till Magic Happens.

Dec 5th not far from your WDW date Martin.

Thank god I’ll miss it in DL. Let the crazies and issues finish and I’ll see it in Orlando next year.

Any info you can share as to why they are opening at DHS before DL? Is it technical issues, regulations, just their priorities?

So is it safe to safe GE is a unmitigated disaster across the board right? This much capex for low/tepid attendance for an entire land dedicated to one of Disney's most heavily invested single IP is seriously concerning. Combined with extensive delays and mediocre reviews, I don't see how the parks division for Disney isn't at Defcon 2 right now...

As far as I know both had the same tech issues, and DL had the H&S issues on top.

 

[Coaster Lover]

I guess this is viewed as bad news, otherwise they'd announce it at D23

I assume they want to announce it ASAP in hopes that it's not too late to get people to book WDW vacations given the news for Dec/Jan...

What a cluster.

Pretty close for WDW! (AP previews/soft openings/etc possibly as early as Nov 29th?) Disneyland... errr... yeah... 4.5 months late...

 

[ToTBellHop]

I’d expect hours extensions for WDW in December now.

Should be a particularly crowded holiday season at WDW.

I know I’ll get flamed for this, but I hope there is an upcharge so I can guarantee entry. Should be a zoo at Christmas.

That poster looks amazing. I haven’t been this excited for an attraction in a very long time.

Aw man, I'll be headed to WDW in beginning of October what a bummer ... but better they get it right than fast. Really excited to ride this! Is this WDW's first trackless ride?

Yes it’s WDW first trackless but not for long once Rat opens in Epcot.

And then the delayed mouse ride.

Rat. Mouse. Ha.
