Not holding my breath...

FWIW,a comment to the wdwnewstoday report states that the delay is due to problems with the Land based projectors.

That's what I think I saw them working on Saturday, 3/19. They were working on some things on poles near the sound booth tower. I couldn't see too many people working on the rest of it, but there's a wall, and I am short. However, I could definitely see multiple people working on the pole things.

FIXED TYPO.

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but I'll be in WDW April 13-17. I read that there could possibly be an AP preview night on April 16... I've never signed up for something like this before as all the AP previews have always been when I'm not in WDW. Will a link pop up in MDE?

Thanks for any info.

No info on Saturday. People received a call back apologizing and saying to keep an eye out this week.

"We’ll share more information about timing on the Disney Parks Blog by mid- to late May."

Ouch.

Update: Disney parks blog reports opening pushed back to may

I read that as they'll be providing us with more info by mid to late May, not necessarily that they'll be opening then. I really hope to be wrong though.

I think your right. I'm out of town and threw that post up there hastily just to get the message across. I'll do a better write up tonight

Update on Nighttime Experiences at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
With the expansion of Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, we’re excited to give Guests even more opportunities to celebrate the magic of animals and nature as day turns into night. While we’d hoped to debut these offerings on April 22, unfortunately, they will not open as planned on that date as we give the team more time to bring these innovative experiences to life in a way we know will exceed our guests’ expectations.

We’ll share more information about timing on Disney Travel News by mid- to late May.

Is anyone surprised by this? Anyone? Beuhler?

It is a shame that it got pushed back but the video they posted of the TOL is amazing. I hope the wait will be worth it.

 

[BayouQueen]

I feel so sorry for the CMs who have had to field all the calls. And for those with April reservations. But glad you finally have some firm info, and it does look like it'll be great once it's a go.

 

[ajwolfe]

Not going to say I'm surprised by this, but I'm bummed. We will be there late May and apparently will miss all of these new things now. We are thinking we won't be back for a few years due to all the changes/price increases/kids growing older so it will be awhile before we would get to see these now. Ugh.

A bunch of CMs have been saying dining packages and FP will open "any day now!"

Just proves something about their "insider" info.
