Impressive AA, little confused why we didn’t get a date but a least summer is closer. Was also hoping for a little more news.

 

[JD80]

Because they know they are 3-6 months out, but don't know exactly when.

Wow! I guess I probably would plan around Fall to go. Animatronic looks pretty cool, glad it's not using projected eyes. Makes me wonder if Disneyland may open theirs in Fall or Winter.

Okay. So the news is "Here's Tiana. I guess we better show her to you since the ride is about her." Everything else links back to prior posts.

That and they've confirmed a Summer Opening - they had shifted away from saying "Late 2024" to just "2024", but this is the first time they've officially stated it will open this Summer at WDW.

My hunch is that Tiana and CBJ will open/re-open simultaneously for one big reveal of a newly revitalized Frontierland or whatever.

Summer…you don’t say?

That AA looks really impressive. Maybe they’ll update the Frozen AAs during a future refurbishment.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

You can also see Eudora in the background.

What does “summer” mean in a Disney calendar?

The speed of this project is actually impressive, assuming it takes about 1.5 years then that's pretty quick. Glad to see they're ahead of schedule, I could definitely see them opening it with CBJ.

For awhile, I’ve been told “by July 4”.

 

[Bocabear]

but where is Ralphie? Isn't he the star of the show? lol

They can add the Mickey/Minnie AAs in their car at the start of MMRR.

She looks fantastic. The timeline of this has been impressive.

Memorial Day is always significant for Disney.

And of course, there has to be a large amount of various previews, so exactly how that fits in remains to be seen.

I think the timeline reflects the urgent need for MK to have that capacity back. An already difficult capacity situation is being further hampered by this being down, and the prospect of going through the summer without it is difficult.

Really though, this is the type of speed that Disney should be showing with everything. What has happened in recent times with TRON, Cosmic Rewind, and World Celebration has not been good.

 

[Stupido]

Wow, Tiana looks so good. Even my friends who aren't as enthusiastic as I am for this retheme were very impressed. Can't wait to see her in action this summer!

 

[tanc]

I'm still surprised that both the WDW and DL version are down at the same time. Right now, DL has two huge capacity eaters down (HM and SM) and no real definitive date as to when they'll reopen.

How much of those delays are covid related thought? I kinda give them a bit of a pass since there were the better part of 2 years that were totally messed up with supply chain and workforce issues.

Totally agree.
