Cars Land Opening Date

[GrandBob]

Summer, huh? That means that opening day could be anywhere from June 21 to Sept 20. But I can't imagine that they wouldn't have it open for the start of summer, by June 21.

That announcement is somewhat a disappointment. It sounds like Iger knows that construction is taking a long time, and is hedging his bets.

Thanks for the news, Matt.

Except that Jersay has 3 times the population of Utah. UAE is barely a blip in a local market with 10 times more people. If it wasn't during the offseason you wouldn't notice.

Me: True, but WDW can hold a lot more than the DL parks.



Not every weekend, usually just Fridays, Friday are already busy and you mostly miss out on 5 park hours, and a full entertainment evening when you avoid the party in DL.

Me: Thank you. I guess we could spend Fridays at DCA. (Of course, others not at the party would probably be doing the same thing?)



Not quite overnight. It takes a couple weeks and some of the larger decorations can overlap. It takes a while to get Small World ready.

Me: So, some of the rides like SW are shut down for awhile?





The HM overlay is for both seasons, so it begins with Halloween Season on September 16th, and ends after New Year Day of the Christmas Season.

Me: Thank you, helpful.



Maybe, maybe not. Cold is up to your perception. SoCal on any given day is warmer than most of the US so a lot depends on where you are coming from. As you saw the weather can be a little hit or miss if an early winter storms comes through, dropping rain in LA.

Me: Yeah, will have to check as it gets closer.

Thank you!

Summer- about as general as it could get beyond "in 2012". It does say more specifically "set to open in Summer of 2012". At least this will help quiet some Spring Break speculation.

The "Test Track" technology out there is incredibly complex. I remember that "Test Track" in Epcot was almost TWO years behind schedual. And, when it opened they could only keep a very small number of cars on the track at the same time. The software eventually changed and they added more and more as time went on.

I would guess now the technology is mature because of years of "Test Track" operation in Epcot. So....we'll see. Hopefully it wont be too long
