LOL - such a good question.

Check out the grid on the first post, made by another DISSer, that estimates FLE openings. Outside of Dumbo, no other dates are known.

So far all Disney has officially said is "LATE 2012" so it's anyones guess what that really means. I'm personally hoping it means Late September beginning of October. lol Since that's when our first EVER trip is planned and Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie.

I really have to think they are going to be VERY careful with the opening and take NO chance on taking ADR's, then running late, and disappointing a bunch of guests. I would expect them to err on the side of caution and be absolutely sure of their dates before opening ADR's.

I have no doubt they will fill them in a heartbeat with very little notice so there's nothing to be gained by doing it too early.

I agree, they aren't going to risk anything until they are sure. I am hoping to snag a ressie when the time does come, assuming it is open for our week before Thanksgiving trip!

Here is an updated timeline reflecting the new Dumbo date. I was hoping I could just update the image in Picassa and have the link stay the same but that doesn't seem to work.

What is the key/code for the various shades of grey/black??

Awesome! Any chance you want to add Fairytale Hall in there?

Updated the first post!

I intentionally left that one off because I have nothing to go on to estimate date! There have been some vague rumors floating around for a while now but with dates all over the map. I can't even begin to guess.

Has anyone heard anything about whether or not Dumbo the character will be doing meet and greets while the ride is closed? I know this happened several years ago when the ride was closed for refurbishment, but I haven't heard for sure if it's happening again for this time frame. DisneyWiki says he will be out, but they have no source, so I'm not trusting it.

It would be so awesome if the bulk of the "year-end 2012" stuff was ready by the end of September, but I'm not getting my hopes up. My little girls would really love to eat at Belle's restaurant!

The darker the area, the more likely the opening.

Afraid Not.

Great thread and awesome grid DB! One of my DDs was searching the Disney site for updates on the expansion last night and could not find anything.

Heading down in late Aug, looks like a couple of attractions should be open.

Thanks for this update!!! I keep going back and forth with planning our next trip.

 

[kristie73]

Thanks for the info. We are planning to be there at the end of March so hopefully no more delays for Dumbo. I just wish they would update the park map on the WDW website so we can see where everything will be. This is our first trip to WDW so interesting that we will see new Dumbo, Goofy ride, train stop, etc.

I am bummed about missing BTMR though and missing a whole land (Toon Town), but still looking forward to our trip.
