Is It a Sure Thing that Frozen WON'T Be Open In May?

[Mambo Junkie]

This makes a big difference in my planning. I had thought to do an early ADR, then some attractions with a mid day break and finish with dinner, attractions and Illuminations. Then, a second day for F&G. Now, I can cancel my ADRs, fp the few attractions which apply, and spend the rest of the time at F&G and WS. Without early ADRs, there's no need for an afternoon break. That way I spend just 1 day at Epcot, which opens up another day for offsite explorations.
So, is a May opening off for sure?

There's a lot of rumors floating around that the date has been pushed back but nothing official. The chances of getting 100% confirmation though are pretty low so its just a matter of playing the odds.

Disney is now saying Summer 2016. May is not in Summer 2016. It's possible a soft opening might occur in May but I've hearing for a while now that June is much much more likely if not even July.

I would not plan on it being open. It's very unlikely at this point.

When did they switch to saying summer? I don't doubt it's been pushed back just surprised I missed Disney confirming it

It was in an AP booklet or something sent out to AP holders recently.

By saying "Summer" Disney have given themselves until mid-September without being late. I imagine it will be sooner than that, but since they didn't even say "early summer" May seems unlikely.

I'll guess June 12...

Just random.

If they're close they'll want it up by July.

If they're not it will get pushed till probably like October...maybe late September

I've heard June maybe early July if things get too far behind but I can't seeing it going September late.
