You are giving them too much credit. CBJ I can’t see until after summer unless the AAs were worked on along time ago
Well, when Chapek left, there was a feeling amongst CMs and DVCers and APers they weren't appreciated.
So, since then, attractions have had lengthy previews as a perk for those groups.
It also helps OPs not to have the most ardent fans all show up at the same time on opening day.

Yep, it’s definitely this.
How do you do, mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do, say it when you're meetin'
How do you do, with every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born
What goes up is sure to come down
A penny lost is a penny found
How do you do, and you howdy back
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
Fun Fact: I never knew it was “Pretty good sure as you're born”
No idea but the little snippet they played is catchy

You gotta have a little fun with it
.They better use “Going down the Bayou”. It’s catchy, short and a perfect fit.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it actually were this song?
Tiana AA is impressive. Eyes are a little lifeless but it's to be expected. Finishing touches and show lighting will address that. Interestingly, it looks as if Tiana is a little larger than life. Although when factoring in the America Sings AAs and the slightly scaled up critters it makes sense.

If only. It completely solos the PatF soundtrack and would serve as a nice tribute to what was.
Not just you.There is a trend. So often their arms are up and out as if orchestrating a symphony. I think it is in part to show off what they can do and give more animation. While fluid, it is often not particularly in character.
So... just reaffirmed in a Disney Blog post....

At least 24.

Dozens can mean 24. If it were 50 or 60, they would be boasting about the number like they did with Rise (where they counted the Storm Troopers).

Wondering how many if any of the critters from splash will be repurposed in this. Thinking of the fishing birds and some of the guys in the finale specifically

That hasn't been in question, despite what a certain clickbait blogger tried to claim. The question is how many dozen. To the layperson, that could mean anything from as little as 24. Or it could mean 36, 48, 60 etc. Cupofchai for instance claimed "48+" based on older information that may or may not still be accurate. I was told it would have "at least as many" as Splash Mtn. Whereas Splash Archive claims the opposite and that it will be extremely sparse compared to Splash Mtn.
Disney also constantly lumps in barely moving props that have zero business being counted as AA's in their marketing. Like the aforementioned stormtrooper mannequins.
While i've been told it will have a lot of AA's and shouldn't disappoint when compared against Splash, it's ultimately just rumors and heresay. That "official" number is completely worthless for the reasons stated and should be disregarded entirely until we see for ourselves.

I remember a scene in PatF where Facilier is lurking in an alley and glaring resentfully at Tiana's friend Charlotte's big fat rich oblivious daddy getting in a fancy conveyance. Maybe it's just me, but I felt a stab of sympathy for the Doctor then. A man without power, and without much chance of obtaining any through respectable means because of his skin color.
But again, maybe it's just me.

April 3! Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I'd say the date is almost guaranteed to be announced then.
FWIW, I knew we were getting an announcement today, but not if we were getting summer confirmed or a specific date. As you said, the May 24th date always seemed extremely optimistic, and at the very best, that's when previews will start. CMs who closed Splash have already got their assignments for when they'll be returning.
Looking back at HEA and TRON last year, it would only make sense for them to be at the same time - one big media push with everyone here at once, and as some have mentioned, I'm sure the goal is to have both open capacity wise.
Now, in terms to the date itself, this is 100% speculation, but I keep coming back to July 1.
April 3, the Shareholders Meeting, to July 1, is 89 days, which lines up with the booking window they have done in the past.
July 1 stands out to me for a few reasons: the start of Q4 FY24, it would increase capacity for the 4th of July crowds, and it would allow Disney to promote the opening all week at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
We already know they used the Essence Festival in 2022 as the biggest promo at the time for this thing, so I could easily see a similar strategy now, except to promote its opening.
In regards to the construction currently, there's a couple VERY good signs for log testing, which lines up with the summer opening confirmed today.
100% of the scaffolding has been removed from the top of the drop to the splashdown area, even at the bottom of the drop itself. There were crews repairing the bottom where the scaffolding was set up, I believe DCBaker posted a photo of this, but now it's done and ready for testing.
At the millhouse, the flowers were purposely installed on the right side and completed first, also clearing the flume for testing. There is still scaffolding up for the left side, BUT, that is behind the wall with the gumbo mural, and can be completed after testing starts, if needed. It's very clear this work was done to clear the flume and that lift hill in the millhouse.
The last big thing is the tarps blocking the view of the finale from the railroad. They recently put up much thicker tarps secured by wood and nails to 100% block the view of the testing, and I'm assuming it's also a soundproofing measure to keep the music muted. I posted a video of it on my Twitter, but these new tarps are extremely secure, and the fact they just got installed says all we need to know in regards to testing and that finale being in "show mode."
I know that's a very long post, but I have been looking forward to today for a long time, so to see summer confirmed, get an incredible video of the Tiana Animatronic, and see work on-site line up with all of it is very exciting.
Now we wait for April 3!

True, but If there is a bear, fox and Rabbit playing music together it will be the nod for the former ride...I actually think this could be a great addition to MK. Just having some fun
