Right now they are redoing all the rooms and plan to redo the lobby so they aren’t booked at capacity. Maybe this is also a factor why it hasn’t opened yet and will be getting a facelift like all the other GF restaurants.
I think this means cast previews by January, AP/DVC previews by February, grand opening by March. Wouldn’t be surprised if it opens before President’s Day weekend.
I’m not sure if I live this guess or not… I of course want to open as soon as possible but I don’t think Presidents’ Day is spring
Fair point!If August can be Halloween in Disney-time, February can be spring
Those costumes look amazing!
I feel for you right now. Trying to post as many times a day as you do when the website is broken must be rough. Thanks again for the hard work.
Thank you for the kind words!!!
I posted that same post 3 times already. I just figured if I write “test” first it saves me the headache of having to repost, and if it works, I just edit it. I actually had a pretty good day with posting - just recently it started up again. 
We one time got parked in the Unicorn lot and had row P. We didn’t forget where we were parked that day and had fun giggling about it.Disney's Animal Kingdom Cast Member Parking Lot To Close for Refurbishment Starting Sept. 19
From September 19-30, Cast Members working at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be unable to park in the cast lot due to refurbishment, which will most likely involve the resurfacing of the lot. As a result of this temporary closure, working Cast Members will be directed to park in the "Unicorn" lot or in the front part of the "Dinosaur" lot.
A Cast shuttle will be available in the temporary parking lot to take them to the backstage entrance.
Here's a map showing the impacts mentioned above, including the section of the parking lot that will be closed:
Looks like someone forgot to thank the Phoenicians!
Yes, and, while we've never done it, I have heard it was consistently very booked out and the character experiences had great reviews
