Good to see Josh had something to do between his Genie+ Lightning lane return times.

That was Bob C's problem, he could never pull off the CEO sweater look. Enjoy the job Josh

Call me when he pulls it off in August without sweating. Then we will know the job offer is en route.

Does anyone/insider know the earliest this could open? Im potentially looking to go Father Day weekend for 6 days but can go another time if this will be opened during true summer months. Tyia

It's not clear at the moment - but generally speaking, the later in the summer you go the higher the chances are of it being open.

Hopefully in whatever video they’re putting together we are shown some of the critters/scenes all put together

My feeling is that it's probably opening during May-June, so Father's Day looks like the time to go if my theory is correct.

That said, I think the initial poster you were replying to was referring to the base of the Big Drop where the Briar Patch used to be, not the gift shop. To which I say the models and renderings show clearly that there's more to be installed in that space.

The models and renderings looked pretty sparse in that area, the patch of grass looked placeholder tier and I was wondering if they were even planning on keeping it.

When someone's asking about dates with the intent of booking a trip, it's not particularly helpful to speculate.

If you haven't already, don't book anything until the date is announced on the shareholders meeting. The last thing you'd want is to miss it by 2 weeks.

If I saw him, I would be heckling him with 'Where's the $60 billion Josh?'

He's not an elected official. You can just not go to Disney World if you're unhappy with how they're spending their profits.

VERY active site today.

The queue structure is a staircase after all — possibly a direct queue for Lightning Lane.

Another vertical structure near the current exit of the railroad.

Attachment points for (hopefully) string lights in the queue with the radio show.

The walls have been pushed back in multiple places, near the bathrooms and near the future entrance.

Scaffolding is down at the top as @DCBaker mentioned a couple days ago, also now down at the millhouse, and on the side closest to the bathrooms as well. There's more flora on the side now, too.

I wasn't expecting this much progress in just a few days, but it's a very welcomed sight.

Thanks for all the updates!!

Am I the only one who is seeing multiple pages missing?

Probably all the arguments and name-calling got deleted because they're not allowed in the thread.

good to see action being taken, this thread has been going off the rails lately

Is there any way to do a side by side comparison of what it looked liked before and where it stands now? I have been off this thread for awhile and don't want to go thru 400 pages.

Well for some reason WDWMAGIC won't let me upload the gif but here's a link to it https://www.canva.com/design/DAF8xB...share&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Thank you, I now have a better visual of what it looks like. Looking at before and now photos it does look more swamp like and less Southwest like.

It does. I do like the Spanish moss on the lower trees. I hope there’s something texturally like that going in up top, because at least in photos it looks kinda cheap. But I’m still really looking forward to riding this, even if it’s done.
