I don't know if it's worth changing but the recent update videos Disney released regarding Bayou Adventure state a "2024" opening now as opposed to "late 2024."
I'd chalk that up to talking heads not wanting to say "late."

It's highly unlikely it'd be early 2024 just because they switched to saying '2024.'
