I would imagine it will be. They seem to be rushing this to completion.

Do you think it will be open when I go the first week of December? I know it will be awfully close, but I would love to experience guardians and Tron both. While I'm at it, do you think Journey of Water will be open by then? I already know that PLAY! won't be since there is radio silence on that.

I think TRON could open by then but don’t know that it will.
Not expecting Moana this year, personally. Epcot Spine projects and Play should open in 2023.

From what I understand, the goal is Q1 (Oct 1). No idea where the 2023 stuff came from re: Tron. Maybe fiscal 2023. They want this attraction open.

Honestly, I wish they would go ahead and announce an opening season like Fall 2022 or Winter 2022. Just something. But I guess they are waiting until Guardians is open to do that?

My guess (no source) is that if it is opening Fall/Winter, they will announce that an opening date relatively soon after Guardians officially opens. Guardians was announced for Summer 2022 6 months before opening (Nov 2021), but that was after Rat had opened. That being said, if it really is opening Oct 1, I would have to think the season announcement would be no later than early July? That would only be 3 months out. We knew Guardians opening date (officially) a little under 2 months out.

Somehow it kept getting later before moving up…Well, this guy thinks it'll be open by October.
Remember when they were going to seal it up “indefinitely“ and then unsealed it like 6 months later? It’s almost as though there is no concrete planning for the parks. Unless the plan is: ”fly by the seat of our pants.” Take everything at Epcot as another example.

Yeah, one thing at a time for sure. They announced Guardians only a few weeks ago, so I would expect a Tron announcement this summer.

I'm assuming that's so they can make more money so that people that want to experience guardians are going to go in early June and then those same people will have to come back in October/November/December to experience Tron instead of just not going in June and going in the Fall to experience both?

I’ll believe it when I see it. For years I’ve been hearing on these boards about decreases in demand and I get my hopes up that the crowds won’t be insane when I get there and then I arrive…..and it looks the same or worse than normal. The only exception was August 2021 during the delta wave Covid slow down and 6 weeks before the 50th started. That was the only time I was pleasantly surprised at the extremely low crowd levels. I’m not saying the booking aren’t down but I wouldn’t count on it either.
I only mentioned it because I might be able to extend my Dec trip by a few days, the Garden Wing of the Contemporary was still available. That’s not normal.

Fair enough and it very well may be a sign of soft demand. I’m just saying I’ve been bitten by that “false hope” before so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Disney will make sure it feels busy, regardless. No need to worry about that. Spaceship Earth will still have a 35 minute wait at 1 pm even if the park only has 5 guests.
