If only this was a month ago to least have a shot of opening in 2 weeks for my trip

Yup - two weeks for me too. I had been hoping it might be back, but it hasn't been looking too likely.

Our trip is in late October. Think it will be open by then? How long do they usually rehearse for before opening?

I don't think they will want to go back to a show that many consider 'better' then the Anniversary show, it will just cast it in a worse light. Not to be a pessimist, but I think they will not only not go back to HEA, but will do a 'worse' show. Two reasons - it will put Enchantment in a better light by comparision; and I think they will go cheaper. If anything, Disney has really shown us that everything is about the bottom line. So why would we even imagine that they will spend more on fireworks again?

I’m not sure why Disney would care one way or the other about how a discontinued show is viewed from a retrospective prospective.

Not sure about October. A couple doing F! for their October wedding in the Disney wedding social media group was told to reschedule the wedding. I don't know when in October their wedding is.

Walt Disney World Wait Times for Last Week of August 2022​

RUMOR:​

Disney Returning to Hand-Drawn Animation with Adaptation of ‘Bluebeard’, Possible D23 Expo Announcement​

Not too far behind the rumors from The DisInsider that the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea” may see a musical animated adaptation next year, they’ve also teased that a new traditionally-animated feature may finally be in the works once again.

For the first time since “The Princess and the Frog” in 2009, Disney seems to be working on a traditional “hand-drawn” 2D animated film, this time based on the French folk tale of Bluebeard.

I know many fairy tales are rather dark in their original telling.... but that one takes it to another level. Sound like one they could have used Tim Burton for.

Was about to say the same thing. Like how on earth do you make a Disney movie from that? Much less an animated one.

Yeah, I’m not sure how they’re going to Disneyfy Bluebeard

Well, they can get pretty off-model sometimes - look at Frozen! That barely resembles the story it was "based" on. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, just an example of just how different the Disney version can be.
