Nope was 2022. Nothing too drastic. They just recently went vertical.I've lost track..when was it originally supposed to open? I thought 2020 then went to 2021 in my head. If those line up a 2023 date is a loonngg delay

whew okay good!Nope was 2022. Nothing too drastic. They just recently went vertical.
My guess is we are talking about a 3-6 month delay which jumps calendar years.whew okay good!
Thing is, what does it hurt to go further away????? I will tell you, nothing. As long as they are confident in their safety precautions, not a thing. Yeah, not many will come from farther away, but why exclude them when you are reading stories about the furloughed employees standing in free food lines? My biggest beef is they won't let me (as of now)buy an annual pass before our December trip because I planned to visit 3 times in the following 12 months and that is the only thing that would actually qualify me for any discounts on my December trip. I am willing to pay for it right now. But they won't let me.It makes perfect sense with the data they have. More than likely they've found that a lot more people are willing to drive from neighboring states than fly from a fair distance. I am sure it's been a analysis done that they are more likely to tempt people from nearby than far away.
But those that are willing to come from further away, will still come, and Disney will get more money out of them. They’re trying to entice people that are closer and are on the fence about going to say “eh why not, let’s go.”Thing is, what does it hurt to go further away????? I will tell you, nothing.

Good for official confirmation. If it is about a 6 month, delay, do you think Avengers Campus will still open this year of will it probably be pushed back to early 2021?
Well I think that would really depend on when Disneyland is allowed to open.Good for official confirmation. If it is about a 6 month, delay, do you think Avengers Campus will still open this year of will it probably be pushed back to early 2021?
They do not have them any more.I think Disney should take all the lights from The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights (they still have them right?) and create some sort of drive through thing. Sell tickets for $50/car and donate to some worthy cause.

I get the complaint - but targeting a discount to certain people is about getting them to come when they weren't going to come. Likely they determined that people from outside that radius weren't going to come with a discount, and those that were would come anyways - so why discount them.
I full agree that this is why targeting that group (I know a lot of people near where I live (NYC area) that it isn't price that is keeping them away it is just being unwilling to travel (either that far or specifically to Florida)
but on the flip side, what would be the negative of offering it to everyone? Either people use it or not. I guess the two things are
- majority of those from further away would come anyway so they maximize revenue by having slightly fewer people spending more per person
- worried about a PR hit of pushing for people from states that have travel restrictions to come
I guess their focus is getting butts in the resorts .. and Disney feels (whether it is true or not) that a majority of people aren't coming right now because they are afraid to fly due to the virus. So, they are targeting people close enough to drive in a day or two (I guess about 600-800 miles). Many have said (myself included) we'd be willing to drive over flying right now.I get the complaint - but targeting a discount to certain people is about getting them to come when they weren't going to come.

Your complaint about APs is a whole different kettle and very, very valid. We use APs to reduce costs on multiple trips across a 12 month period (or for this year a 16 month period). I do not understand the logic of not selling APs. They've complained that the # of AP holders in the parks are very high right now, but reducing the number of APs will just result in reducing the number of people in the parks even further. Sure AP holders don't spend as much as tourist, but they're spending something - why wouldn't they want them there?
