Astro Oribit and the people mover, I read somewhere they were, but seen on the allearsnet main list that they did not seem to be listed.

Both are staples to our Disney vacation, we will be there May 3rd, let me know

Both refurbs begin May 3.

Orbiter goes through August 20.

PeopleMover goes through June 30.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny timing! Oh well, hopefully they will delay the close

On a side note, is there an opening date for the mine car ride?

Nothing announced other than it will be previewed for the Media at the April 30-May 2 Media Event.

It should be in Soft Openings or even full days WELL before then.

So is it safe to say by may 3rd we will be able to ride it? not sure how all the soft opening stuff works

VERY likely.

Soft Openings are when an Attraction is in a "testing" phase-it may be open all day or it may open on and off all day or it may not open at all(less likely).

IMHO,it will be open "full time" by May 3.

Can I just say that two trips ago (my 9th trip) was the 1st time riding Astro Orbiter, and that thing was terrifying!!!! Like, ToT is my absolute favorite ride ever....but on Astro Orbiter I was white knuckle gripping that thing and closing my eyes!!!!
