Exactly!
Yes the rollout has moved slower but that means disney is fixing the problems. Fixing the problems now will only make the system better. I would rather have disney take time on this a spend get the problems fixed before they just throw it out there. The whole system isn't fully "live" yet anyways so that comment doesn't even work. The system is as of right now only out in increments which is exactly what Disney Should be doing. I think disney is doing this in the best possible way your not going to find those glitches until you test it. Testing greatly and I mean greatly helped out this new system. The system is not a fail its doing quite well at the moment. Disney wants to get this right and thats what they are doing I couldn't be more pleased with the way disney is handling this. Small increases to the system every month while at the same time they fix the problems that pop up and they fix them quick no major problems still exist. The my disney experience app is being updated all the time and so is the website that means they know there are problems and they are fixing them right away. Until disney has the system fully implemented to every guest that steps on property that chooses to use it they will not find out if its a fail. If disney does not see any decreases in revenue there is no fail. Simple as that.Actually, what I and others have repeatedly seen is Al Lutz being exactly on the mark. He predicted the management shakeup at DVC years ago, while people in these forums were saying everything there was fine. He predicted the delays in the mine train completion, while people in these forums were insisting it was on schedule. The reality is the negative spin about him you reference comes from people here who don't like the fact he gets behind the scenes and often brings to light issues and problems with Disney that their apostles don't want uncovered. To his credit, he is also quick to praise Disney when it moves in the right direction. Disney is a public firm that has quarter to quarter financial mindset. The analysts expected Magic+ to be fully implemented by the beginning of Q1 '14. That didn't happen. The rollout has moved slower than expected, due to fact the technology and systems are full of glitches (which the programmers warned management about before the system went live, but management didn't listen). That has forced remedial programming and systems work, which raises expenses.
They are not going to build roller coasters without theming. They are building a roller coaster right now in a "mine" with Snow White theming. They also like to build roller coasters in mountains. Disney does not like to have a lot of visible track hence they have no coaster that looks like one at six flags they will never have one like that. The magic behind disney is there is always a story behind it.
I agree I think the 25th would be a great time for Disney to announce something.
Correct definitely won't be open in February but I could see a soft opening in April maybe. This ride itself is done the ride is running on the tracks everyday it's all detail work that's being done at this point.
I understand but when will they announce anything at DHS then? Did they announce Disney springs during a certain time in the calendar that one just kind of seemed random to me.
