Curious. We just cancelled our December 2020 trip today and rebooked for the last week of April into the first part of May 2021. I'm guessing it won't be done by then, but maybe????

Almost definitely not

Almost definitely not

That's nice.

Looks like they have color coordinated the Tron show building and the tunnel at the TTC.

That's nice.

If we’re lucky, the ride can open Fall 2021 and in time for the 50th. COVID has delayed every project Disney has been working on to some extent, some projects more than others.

Black mold and exhaust fumes? The underside of the canopy will look a treat like that.

There was a featureless tunnel for the WDWRR in the first piece of concept art, but in the later one you can see no such tunnel. I really hope they thought this one through.

Tron WILL NOT open fall of 2021. The exterior will be completed to clean up the area (still tons of work to be done). December will end the construction on this project and it will be suspended until October 2021. The outdoor canopies will continue to go up during the winter and into 2021. Depending on how the economy and attendance goes construction will pick back up fall of 2021. Plan on Spring/Summer 2022 for an opening.

Seeing I am a vendor who sends product to the job site we have been told from the GC and they are pulling crews out.... We have nothing scheduled for the rest of 2020 heading to the site.

Works for me. Thanks.

Oh this just got interesting... I wonder if this is the same for other projects?

Yep I’ve been told something similar.

Add in Ratatouille not being worked on either and it's not looking good for the 50th

Ratatouille is in ride testing and it will open, Guardians will be the same as Tron they will button things up keep the inside protected and complete when they can.

...and when the plans for the 50th were already lackluster prior to the Pandemic, yeah it is going to make for a pretty "meh" anniversary.. What a shame.

The Anniversary will probably run for 18 months anyway, so these projects could still open within that time frame.

But October 1 will likely be nothing special.
