That’s my educated guestimate.

The impression I was under was that Runaway Railway was going to show up in August or September and Galaxy's Edge was going to show up shortly before Thanksgiving. But I'm no insider. I just go by what I gather from other sources. I was always fairly certain they wouldn't open at the same time.
The Mickey ride will open before SWL.

So they are essentially opening MMRR, the gondolas and SWGE all around the same time? Doesn't that seem crazy?

None of us are able to comprehend the amount of people that will show up to Galaxy's Edge in its opening days. They need an efficient transportation system AND another brand new ride to (at least try and) detract crowds from Galaxy's Edge. It's crazy but it's necessity.
What they will need are riot police with flamethrowers.
No. Gondolas need to be open for the crowds. It’s a transport system. Mickey needs to be open to boost park capacity.
It’s not like they’re opening in the same week.

So why not open during a slower period? Why open when there's already a-jillion people already coming. Are they nervous that a January opening would severely lessen their holiday crowds? I just don't get it.

I presume you have been made privy to the proposed timeline, and that it projects with some contingency an opening in early November. How often are you (Disney) right on these things
How close did Pandora meet it's projected date? Like the OP, I have an 11/14-18 trip in the works, just need to know if I should prepare for the worse.
Maybe there will be an unplanned delay (or 2), and that will make for AP events and such w/o 11/11, with full launch 11/18?
Every day they do not open is money lost and like I said, the crowds are going to be insane regardless. They might as well open when they have holiday staffing levels.
Originally it was August / September. How far it’s slipped or pulled back exactly I don’t know.I presume you have been made privy to the proposed timeline, and that it projects with some contingency an opening in early November. How often are you (Disney) right on these things

So is your predication a land "completion" date or an "opening date? After googlin' I see there is precedent that soft openings can take 2 months, NFL (minus 7DMT) was almost 2 months from what I'm reading. There's other examples I can share if anyone cares. So, in theory of course, if the completion is Nov 1ish, the opening could be Jan 1ish. Right?
Opening.

I'm sorry my friend, but i wont allow this to be true! So, soft opening 11/1. Full opening 12/1 at the earliest? Maybe. Please.

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
Says Late Fall opening which late fall is anywhere from Thanksgiving time to Christmas time. Winter does not start until a few days before Christmas. So certainly it will not be open in Sept which fall does not even start until late Sept. lol I would be extremely shocked to see it open before November when they have been saying fall/ late fall.
As been mentioned, "LATE FALL" has been changed to "FALL."
Given that @marni1971 is guestimating by November-ish rather than December-ish, it checks out.
Even if SWL isn't open, MMRR will be... with a five hour wait. Hope you weren't planning to pass through the hub*.
*Yes, I know that Municiberg ends Sept 31 and they'll probably use old Pixar Lane for MMRR's queue.

Is this for real? We purposely booked mid-November hoping it wouldn't be open yet so the parks would be relatively empty

Again, it should have been around September. It slipped, I don’t know by how much or how much they’ve pulled it back.As been mentioned, "LATE FALL" has been changed to "FALL."

Yeah. I'm planning a trip for April-May of this year. Then it is "See you in 2020, WDW!"
