Latest on monorail?

I heard here on the DIS that the monorail will be down from 10am to 7pm. Any news on how long this will be in effect? We will be there starting March 25 and would prefer to use the monorail for a few ADRs. Thanks.

The official WDW website still has the following:

As part of our continuing efforts to exceed the expectations of our Guests, Resort Monorail and Express Monorail service will be temporarily unavailable from January 21, 2014 through March 2014, 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM.

During this time, additional watercraft and motor coach options will be available to help transport you to your destination. Please note: Epcot Monorail service will not be affected.​

Given that there's not a specific end date specified in March, Disney seems to be giving themselves through the end of the March for the monorail refurbishment work. I would plan on not being able to use the Express or Resort monorail service around the Seven Seas Lagoon from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM. Then, if the monorail is back in all-day service after all, be delighted!
