I don't suppose you know anything about All Star music resort? I know there have been permits filed but is it due to be finished and open this year?

I'm not too sure to be honest. I know before with room refurbs at the value resorts they do them block by block, but don't think they've done much construction whilst it is still closed. Not that I've heard anyway

 

[Gusey]

Snow White's Enchanted Wish and Haunted Mansion refurb are officially open now, along with Disneyland

You might want to addBeatrix restaurant at Disney Springs indefinitely delayed. It hasn't been cancelled. However they are going make it a green space for the time being.

 

[Grasshopper2016]

You might also want to add the new DuckTales World Showcase Adventure replacement for Agent P in Epcot. As far as I know, that is still in the works, though no opening date has been announced.

Thanks for doing this!

Thank you, knew there would be a green space, but wasn't sure which restaurant was meant to be going there. Disney Springs are always changing their dining and retail spaces, so will try to keep on track with there

Does someone have a reference to Galactic Starcruiser listing as Summer of 22? I only see 2022 on the Disney page.

 

[Original]

Blasted 40 years of Red = stop/bad, Green = Go/Good. Reworking my brain here. So, Green means "stopped" (bad) and red means "good to go" (new/ongoing)? And blue means "done" (or cold or confused)! Awesome! I'm cold and confused.

Yeah, Was copying the original thread this was based on. Been playing around with the colours to make it visible, will probably edit later
